KTM 890 Duke 2021

The predecessor 790 Duke already proved that KTM knows how to build a mid-range naked bike for the road. The new 890 carries the torch with a puffy chest and once again lives up to its scalpel nickname. Lively, it pulls the radii and gives off a certain nervousness that can be interpreted as a wild character. The equipment is almost complete - but only almost. Why do you have to pay extra for the quickshifter when it was standard on the predecessor? It is all the more annoying that the clutchless upshifting and downshifting functions as smoothly as butter and that one would not want to do without it.

The bottom line is that even after the successful model update, the XL750 is a Transalp as a Transalp should be, which has always been regarded as a smooth-running, comfortable all-rounder. The combination of proven technology, improved comfort features and modern Advanced Rider Assistance Systems makes the bike an attractive companion for adventure-seekers and everyday riders alike. Whether for the daily commute through the urban jungle to work, on a brisk after-work ride or on a long journey, which can of course also take you on unpaved roads.
