KTM 390 Duke 2021

KTM 390 Duke 2021

The KTM 390 Duke is a "real" Duke. The trademark: Extremely agile handling that makes for powerful riding fun. The flyweight 390 can be precisely controlled with its narrow waist and wide handlebars and feels most at home in tight corners. Especially with the Supermoto mode, it is a fun machine without equal. Unfortunately, only the brakes and suspension of the 390 cannot maintain the same, very high performance level as on the 125 Duke or 890 Duke. They feel a bit spongy and not optimally tuned, especially when the rider weighs in a bit more. The equipment is otherwise tip-top, especially when you consider the price of the 390 Duke. In terms of riding pleasure/euros, it outperforms most, including its Duke sisters.

Typical Duke ergonomics that are also suitable for taller riders

Extremely agile handling thanks to flyweight and narrow waist

Sporty engine with great handling

Modern TFT display with smartphone connectivity

Supermoto mode is a pleasure

Quickshifter (optional) works perfectly

Adjustable hand levers

Top price-performance ratio for A2 motorbike.

Chassis tuned a little too soft

pressure point of the brakes a little spongy

KTM 1290 Super Adventure R 2021

KTM 1290 Super Adventure R 2021

The Super Adventure R presented itself as a great adventure motorbike during the intensive test in the Pyrenees. It offered a great combination of long-distance comfort and off-road capability. You won't find this combination in this consistency on any other motorbike. Above all, the chassis is tough and presented itself from its best side in tough terrain. Of course, only very few riders will actually ride this monster properly - but in rough terrain, "having" has always been better than "needing".

Robust overall impression

high-quality and practical chassis

great seat for a lot of endurance in the saddle

sporty and high-quality components

powerful but easy-to-control engine

practical riding aids.

The high-priced motorbike lacks individual features in the basic equipment

fiddly controls
