KTM 1050 Adventure 2015

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.

powerful, cultivated engine

: disengageable ABS

adjustable traction control

agile handling

adjustable ergonomics

prestigious look similar to the big sisters

height-adjustable windshield

affordable price.

Rev limiter already kicks in at 8500 revs

wind protection not quite optimal

Triumph Tiger Sport 2016

Triumph Tiger Sport 2016

The Tiger Sport is a riding machine that can do much more than promised in the brochure. It was sportier than I thought it would be, but at the same time it offered more riding comfort.

Very universal

very agile handling but still easy and safe to drive

high ride comfort

great price / performance ratio

great tuned engine.

The Tiger Sport succeeds in almost all areas. Only in the suspension setup is the compromise, which is what this vehicle is, noticeable in some situations.
