Pros and Cons in comparison

Ducati Multistrada V4 S 2022

In numerous tests, the Multistrada had to hold its own against many opponents on extremely versatile terrain and was usually the fastest and overall best motorbike. Logically enough - it is also the most expensive motorbike in this class. The Ducati crew has poured all the high-quality ingredients into the motorbike that money can buy. These have been combined to create a harmonious overall package that rides incredibly well. A worthy winner of various comparative tests at a proud price.

Incredibly great handling - neutral, harmonious, easy to handle but still stable

Real enduro feeling in the saddle

Great brakes

Fascinating, impressively powerful engine

Engine power is wonderfully controllable thanks to great response behaviour

Comfortable seating position

Good ergonomics even when standing up

Fascinating radar system, which you like to use in practice on the motorway

Great wind protection

High stability even at high speeds

Power-saving and easy to ride

Above-average consumption

mobile phone connectivity not really thought through to the end

KTM 1290 Super Adventure 2016

The 1290 Super Adventure is rightly presented by KTM as an adventure flagship. Packed with sophisticated electronics and almost everything you could possibly need in a big touring enduro, it recommends itself as expected for the long haul. What you don't immediately see from its bulky appearance, however, is that the Super Adventure, like its 1190 sisters, is an incredible fun machine. Especially in tight corners, it is unbelievable fun. The electronics control traction, chassis and engine management so unobtrusively that you can concentrate fully and above all safely on accelerating. On the intermediate straights, the 160 hp of power ensure that the 1290 Super Adventure can also meet sporting requirements and is thus hardly surpassed in terms of universality.
