KTM 690 Duke 2017

KTM 690 Duke 2017

Considering where the KTM Duke family once started, the 690 Duke is an incredible step forward. The engine is extremely refined and at the same time husky for a street-legal single-cylinder. Despite all the technology on board, it is still a very light motorbike and can almost be called a toy (in a good sense). Only its seating position divides opinions, because with the Duke 4 in 2012, the former supermotos became an almost tame naked bike with a front-wheel-oriented seating position. The advantage: everyday life and long tours should not be a problem on the current Duke.

powerful engine

suitable for everyday use

many technical aids

manoeuvrable

smooth running

For some, not a "real" single-cylinder Duke

Triumph Trident 660 2021

Triumph Trident 660 2021

You can tell that the Trident is a new bike. Triumph has developed the necessary ingredients for the year 2021 with pinpoint accuracy. Cheeky but not intrusive sound, a lively engine and a comprehensive electronics package including quickshifter are simply fun. A casual motorbike that even experienced riders can have a lot of fun riding.

Powerful three-cylinder powerplant

surprisingly good chassis and brakes for this class

extensive electronic equipment

optional quickshifter with blipper

simple and accessible controls

Traction control overall very defensive
