Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
KTM 1190 Adventure 2014
With no other "all-rounder" motorbike will you be so fast. An unbeatable climber, especially on narrow mountain roads, but also a pleasant companion on the daily ride to work.
KTM 1050 Adventure 2015
The KTM 1050 Adventure picks up where the 990 Adventure left off a few years ago: Around 100 hp of power, playful handling and as much or as little electronics as is currently state-of-the-art. The engine is anything but weak, ABS and traction control regulate safely and inconspicuously and the handling is extremely fun-oriented, partly because of the relatively narrow tyres. And all this at a price that is only undercut by a few competitors in the league of big touring enduros. Sad as it may be, the two 1190 Adventures and, above all, the flagship 1290 Super Adventure, have soared in price to very high levels. And that is precisely why the KTM 1050 Adventure is perhaps the most coherent of the four Adventure models.
