Pros and Cons in comparison

KTM 790 Adventure 2019

KTM 790 Adventure 2019

In my eyes, the KTM is the sportiest of all mid-range touring enduros. If you are looking for a touring machine that is brutally nippy on road and off-road, you will find it here. At the same time, however, the chassis and engine offer sufficient comfort and good manners to keep the rider from going mad even on longer liaison stages.

Engine with manners AND character

Enormously high chassis stability

Brakes without reproach

Tremendous off-road capabilities

Low average consumption.

Unattractive surcharge policy

original seat not optimally shaped

CFMOTO 1000MT-X 2026

CFMOTO 1000MT-X 2026

With the 1000 MT-X, CFMOTO proves that a fully equipped adventure bike doesn't have to be expensive. The hardware installed is top-notch, and the handling hardly needs to shy away from comparison, both on and off the paved roads. However, the setup of the assistance systems is still lagging behind, and the traction control in particular is in urgent need of an update, which the manufacturer has promised. If you get this under control, you get a premium bike at an affordable price.

Top standard equipment

fully adjustable KYB suspension

harmonious, powerful engine

very good ergonomics

Apple Car Play works wirelessly

no need to go to the dealer for updates

good Brembo brakes

high payload possible

Poor setup of the traction control

unusual composition of riding modes

slight load changes at low speeds

manageable wind protection
