KTM 890 Duke R 2022

The KTM 890 Duke R is the sportiest evolutionary stage of the 890 Duke. More power, firmer chassis, sharper brakes - these ingredients, together with the already low vehicle weight, make it a real precision machine. A fast and cool bike for riding fun fetishists, ambitious home track heaters and, last but not least, a real recommendation for trackday visitors. However, the sporty positioning of the upper body and the somewhat more acute knee angle come at the expense of comfort. Last but not least, the adjustable suspension in the basic setup is really crisply tuned. If you want to enjoy the powerful 890 engine and the high-quality electronics a little more comfortably, you can still go for the basic model with a clear conscience.
KTM 1290 Super Adventure S 2023

The KTM 1290 Super Adventure S is anything but old hat. The Euro5 engine still shines incredibly with its 160 Horsepower and an impressive 138 Newton metres of torque. The refined electronics ensure an even smoother ride, which results in a lot of fun when attacking the twisties thanks to the wonderfully agile handling. But the new SA S also has a lot to offer comfort freaks and all those who value the travelling qualities of this type of motorbike. A nice standard feature is the adaptive cruise control ACC, which independently maintains the distance to the vehicle in front - and works really well. In any case, the Quickshifter+ or the all-encompassing TechPack is recommended - at the basic price, the extra 1000 euros are no longer so significant.
