Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 2026

Unfortunately, our editors did not test this model.

Kawasaki KLE500 SE 2026

The Kawasaki KLE500 2026 is not an off-road monster, but a well-balanced A2 adventure bike with a clear all-round orientation. It impresses with its stable suspension, good-natured engine and successful ergonomics and marks a solid new start for Kawasaki in the adventure segment. It does have some minor faults, but only one of them is really annoying.

Good-natured and predictable engine

stable and comfortable suspension

successful ergonomics for many body sizes

good price-performance ratio

clean transmission

Low ground clearance

hardly any off-road tyres compatible with strange rear wheel dimensions

wind protection manageable despite higher windshield

no options for quickshifter or cruise control

ABS only completely disengageable
