Pros and Cons in comparison

Husqvarna FE 501 2016

The touring tractor can now also count itself among the lightweights. Dry under 110 kg and well over 60 hp leave no room for excuses. It carries even the Wildecker Herzbuben (both of them) up every slope.

Total weight has become significantly lighter, strongest model, significantly better handling

most expensive model

KTM 690 Enduro R 2020

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.
