Pros and Cons in comparison

KTM 690 Enduro R 2019

The KTM 690 Enduro R is the perfect bike for riders who find a touring enduro too heavy, but a hard enduro too uncomfortable and maintenance-intensive. The new electronic features make the bike very accessible even to inexperienced riders. The smooth-running, cultivated engine, together with the perfectly tuned gearbox and overall gratifyingly low vibration level, also makes long tours possible without any problems.

Superb engine

Enduro ABS

easy-to-use traction control

successful gearbox and transmission set-up

well-tuned automatic gearshift incl. blipper

fully adjustable chassis.

Relatively high weight for an enduro

suspension response not at top level

BMW R nineT Scrambler 2016

There's really no point in trying to figure out why the R nineT is so popular, the concept obviously fits in excellently with today's times. Whether this modern retro style will also work one price class down with the BMW R nineT Scrambler remains to be seen. But the prerequisite is very good, the Scrambler relies on the same, "old" boxer engine with air cooling, which BMW miraculously made suitable for Euro4 without sacrificing performance and character. The chassis is softer, the wheelbase longer and the equipment more spartan - but under the alias Scrambler this is perfectly acceptable, after all the focus is on comfortable riding. The optional one-man saddle is a bit hard, but the R nineT Scrambler is by no means uncomfortable, and the riding position is particularly convincing. So if you can live with less equipment, steel instead of aluminium and simpler suspension elements, you can save a lot of money with the Scrambler - which is best invested in individual customising!

Boxer engine with character - vibrations, power and sound included. Nevertheless Euro4-compliant

comfortable chassis

pleasant seating position

powerful brakes

cool looks

much cheaper than the R nineT.

rather hard saddle

spartan dashboards, in the base without rev counter and gear indicator
