Pros and Cons in comparison

KTM 350 EXC-F 2017

The KTM 350 EXC-F offers a successful overall package that will please 4-stroke fans. The powerful unit convinces with clean power, even if the KTM has to be kept at high revs and the engine is a bit rough. In terms of handling, it seems comfortable but a little nervous, which means that confidence in the machine is lacking at first. The brakes, on the other hand, are easy to control.

Good power delivery

comfortable chassis

well controllable brakes

Rough engine running

nervous handling at first

Husqvarna 701 Supermoto 2020

The Husqvarna 701 Supermoto is a pure fun bike that is made neither for long tours nor for high speeds. Light, strong, puristic. If the automatic gearshift had also fallen victim to purism - I wouldn't mind.

Beary engine

Very easy to handle

Good brake

Chassis with reserves

Automatic gearshift needs hard commands

Brake drones from time to time
