Pros and Cons in comparison

KTM 890 Adventure R 2023

If you can't get to a place on the 890 Adventure R, you probably can't get there at all on a touring enduro. It is the right choice when things get really rough. Long suspension travel and a high seat underline the serious visual appearance, the 890 Adventure R is no dazzler offroad. All the more surprising, then, that it also cuts a very good figure on the road.

Off-road capable chassis

harmonious ergonomics (especially for tall pilots)

agile handling

powerful engine

comprehensive electronics package

cornering ABS incl. off-road mode standard

finely controllable brakes

Traction control depending on lean angle

Standard seat rather hard padded

Seat height challenging for small riders

Useful features such as Quickshifter+ at extra cost

Aprilia Tuareg 660 2024

The Aprilia Tuareg 660 is an extremely smooth-running adventure bike. This applies to the linear revving engine, the fine clutch and the low weight of the Italian. It scores particularly well off-road. At the Bosnia Rally, it was able to take on almost everything and was even convincing in crisp off-road terrain. Small weak points, such as an engine that dies too quickly and a screw on the gear lever that is in danger of breaking, can hardly spoil the fun on it. With its powerful travel, the lightweight is interesting for all adventure bike riders who have off-road ambitions but want more electronics than in the purist Yamaha Tenere.

Linear, finely controllable power delivery

Finely controllable clutch

Successful ergonomics, both sitting and standing

Lush, well-functioning electronics package

Good suspension with long travel

Engine has little flywheel mass, tends to die off quickly

rear brake bites a little too hard for loose surfaces

less robust cast aluminium screw on the gear lever as a weak point in the event of falls/crashes
