Pros and Cons in comparison

KTM 690 Enduro R 2024

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

Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports 2024

The development of the Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports away from a high-legged off-road bike to a touring bike with a 19-inch front wheel will be a step in the right direction for most Adventure Sports customers. The majority of them ride mainly on paved roads and are happy about better handling, more stability and confidence when leaning and more accessible thanks to the lower seat height. The electronics and DCT have also been fine-tuned in the background, which means that the new Adventure Sports does a lot of things right. Despite these changes, you don't have to do without off-road passages. Even with the smaller wheel and shorter suspension travel, the Adventure Sports remains ready for adventure.

Superbly responsive, now even more torquey engine

Bassier sound than before

Semi-active suspension as standard

Finely controllable brakes

19-inch front wheel and wider tyres raise cornering performance to a new level

Lower seat height makes the mighty Adventure Sports more accessible

Good wind protection

Tough off-road terrain now more difficult to master

riders over 1.85 m get loud turbulence on the helmet even in the highest windshield position

5 kg more on the ribs than before
