KTM 790 Duke 2018

KTM 790 Duke 2018

The KTM 790 Duke L is an absolutely sporty naked bike with a high fun factor. Whether a beginner rider can handle it depends very much on his or her personality and riding behaviour. There are certainly motorbikes better suited for learning, but sporty radius hunters will hardly be satisfied with anything else. The 790 Duke L is also rather unenthusiastic about everyday rides in the city. On the country road, however, it's a blast, even with only 48 hp. Simply a fun bike as it is written in the book.

Lively, high-revving engine with powerful acceleration

optimally tuned chassis for sporty riding

awesome sound even with series muffler

many electronic gimmicks and functions

extremely precise quickshifter that makes fast riding even easier

comfortable seating position

Rough handling at low revs

bitchy in city traffic

sometimes fiddly-looking switches on the handlebars

oil leak at the engine block on many 790 Dukes

The CFmoto 450MT impresses as a light and comfortable bike for enduro travellers looking for a good balance between size and weight. It offers satisfactory engine performance for off-road use. On-road, the two-cylinder engine needs plenty of revs to get going, yet it still performs confidently. The workmanship and appearance are convincing, and the engine's power delivery is linear and easy to control, apart from the load change reactions. Minor points of criticism concern the suspension, which reaches its limits under intensive use. Overall, the CFmoto 450MT offers good value for money and is an attractive choice for riders looking for a reliable and well-equipped enduro bike.

Lightweight and comfortable for adventure bike use

Good build quality and attractive appearance

Sufficient power for off-road use

Attractive price-performance ratio

Very smooth clutch

Precise transmission

Suspension reaches its limits under intensive use

Minor shortcomings such as not clearly defined rev limiter

Annoying, hardly suppressible load change reactions in tight corners

Front brake could be more precise and powerful

Ergonomics not quite optimal for tall riders
