Honda X-ADV 2023

Honda X-ADV 2023

Honda dares - and hits the mark. The X-ADV is a sophisticated, practical and amazingly precise crossover two-wheeler. With the G-mode of the dual-clutch transmission DCT, the off-road capability is underlined even more. The X-ADV's true playground, however, is the country road, where it works excellently and presents an ingenious mixture of sportiness and comfort that is otherwise only known from big tourers and scooters. Many people don't know what to do with this "thing", but once you've ridden the X-ADV, you'll realise what it's capable of.

Engine with sufficient power

very good brakes

comfortable seating position

DCT dual clutch with G-mode

traction control

adjustable windshield

LED light

cool looks

smart key

12V power socket.

High price

storage compartment is only sufficient for a full-face helmet

running boards somewhat narrow

chain drive for scooter/adventure operation requires high maintenance

extroverted appearance is not everyone's cup of tea.

KTM 1290 Super Adventure R 2017

KTM 1290 Super Adventure R 2017

The 1290 Super Adventure R is supposed to be the new off-road flagship of the KTM Adventure range - and it is! It's amazing how easy it is to move 240 kilos off-road with a full tank. The off-road mode is also largely convincing. On the other hand, as on the 1290 Super Adventure S, the full 160 hp and 140 Newton metres of torque as well as all comfort features (apart from the electronically adjustable suspension) are available on the R version: Four performance modes (Sport, Street, Rain and Offroad), cornering ABS, traction control, cruise control, keyless race-on system and the mobile phone management "My Ride". This means that the KTM 1290 Super Adventure R actually combines four motorbikes in one - and thus justifies the proud price.

Fully off-road capable

good off-road mode

easy handling

very powerful and refined engine

state-of-the-art electronic features such as traction control, quickshifter and cornering ABS

large, easy-to-read TFT display

LED headlights with cornering lights.

High price

power-consuming height adjustment of the windshield
