KTM 1090 Adventure 2017

KTM 1090 Adventure 2017

The KTM 1090 Adventure is a huge step away from its predecessor, the 1050 Adventure, towards its bigger sisters. The electronics package with adjustable riding modes, traction control and ABS remains at the already high level, but the engine now has 125 hp, around a third (!) more than the 1050. Almost more importantly, it can now rev freely to over 10,000 rpm and thus offers a more usable rev band. You will hardly find a more balanced bike in the class of still reasonably priced large touring enduros.

Very powerful, cultivated engine with wide rev range

performance modes

ABS can be switched off

adjustable traction control

agile and safe handling

adjustable ergonomics

height-adjustable windshield

low weight

comparatively low price.

Optics seem outdated by the new 1290 Super Adventures

Husqvarna Norden 901 2024

Husqvarna Norden 901 2024

On the one hand, the Husqvarna Norden 901 with its lavish standard equipment is a very suitable bike for travelling, but on the other hand, with its lengthy travel, lively engine and active ergonomics, it does not shy away from adventures. The low centre of gravity is ingenious thanks to the low tank, which makes life on and off the beaten track easy.

Great engine with high practicality

Great engine reponsiveness

Linear torque curve

Hardly any vibrations in the saddle

High-quality electronics package

Height of travelling comfort

Stable, sporty suspension

Accessible yet exciting character

Good wind and weather protection for the lower half of the body

Tough as nails

Unpleasant heat development in the calf area at low speeds

Unsteady engine running after a cold start

Engine dies off quite easily due to low flywheel mass

Due to the width of the seat, the bike is quite high even with lengthy legs

Poor wind protection and turbulence on the helmet and upper body

Rear brake is difficult to modulate
