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.
Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled 2021
The Desert Sled may not be made for tough off-road use, but it is well equipped for fun parties on gravel roads and in light terrain. With the additional riding mode (ABS can be switched off at the rear wheel), the large 19-inch front wheel and the fully adjustable suspension elements, it certainly meets these requirements. The seat height of 860 also suggests that off-road rides are not completely absurd. Presumably, however, it is this breathtakingly pretty look of the Desert Sled that will arouse the interest of retro fans anyway.
