Pros and Cons in comparison
KTM 890 Duke R 2021
The KTM 890 Duke R is the sportiest evolutionary stage of the 890 Duke. More power, firmer chassis, sharper brakes - these ingredients, together with the already low vehicle weight, make it a real precision machine. A fast and cool bike for riding fun fetishists, ambitious home track heaters and, last but not least, a real recommendation for trackday visitors. However, the sporty positioning of the upper body and the somewhat more acute knee angle come at the expense of comfort. Last but not least, the adjustable suspension in the basic setup is really crisply tuned. If you want to enjoy the powerful 890 engine and the high-quality electronics a little more comfortably, you can still go for the basic model with a clear conscience.
GASGAS ES 700 2023
The bottom line is that the ES 700 is mainly thrilling when the attack is on and the tap is cocked over whatever surface. The resistant chassis with plenty of reserves, combined with the rev-happy engine and low weight, is really fun in rally mode. Loosely swung through the terrain, however, it lacks residual comfort and also feedback. Thanks to the stable chassis, however, it can also handle motorway stages at 140 km/h or accelerate at an angle. The bottom line is that the Gas Gas ES 700 is extremely versatile, with some sacrifices in comfort. For those interested in the ES 700, the question is clear: are you tough enough or not?
