KTM 690 Enduro R 2023

KTM 690 Enduro R 2023

The KTM 690 Enduro R is the perfect bike for riders who find a touring enduro too heavy, but a hard enduro too uncomfortable and maintenance-intensive. The new electronic features make the bike very accessible even to inexperienced riders. The smooth-running, cultivated engine, together with the perfectly tuned gearbox and overall gratifyingly low vibration level, also makes long tours possible without any problems.

Superb engine

Enduro ABS

easy-to-use traction control

successful gearbox and transmission set-up

well-tuned automatic gearshift incl. blipper

fully adjustable chassis.

Relatively high weight for an enduro

suspension response not at top level

Husqvarna Norden 901 Expedition 2023

Husqvarna Norden 901 Expedition 2023

The basic model of the Husqvarna Norden already has a lot to offer, but the new "Expedition" manages to go one better with its improved chassis and additional equipment. It is as versatile as a Swiss army knife. There is hardly a task it doesn't seem up to. Precise and sporty on the road, and equally robust and confidence-building off-road. A real do-it-all machine! Considering the extensive additional equipment, not least the price seems to be in order compared to the basic North. With a view to the even sportier KTM 890 Adventure R, it should be noted that Husqvarna also remains somewhat more faithful to the idea of comfort with the Expedition.

High-quality and fully adjustable chassis

great comfort in the saddle

improved off-road capabilities

top-of-the-range equipment as standard

powerful yet smooth-running engine

agile geometry

good fuel consumption figures

high-quality appearance and finish.

874mm seat height critical for small people

no USB slot in cockpit

standard soft luggage not top quality
