KTM 1290 Super Adventure R 2023

KTM 1290 Super Adventure R 2023

The R variant of the 1290 Super Adventure is one of the most luxurious options for long tours that don't end on paved roads. Plenty of power is available at all times and the rally look immediately evokes wanderlust. The WP suspension can cope with almost any conceivable surface, but it has to be adjusted manually and you also have to do without the distance cruise control.

Very sporty, but also cultivated V2 power plant

extremely playful handling despite high weight

driving-friendly seating position

good brakes including cornering ABS

comprehensive electronics package

clear, well-structured instruments with huge 7-inch display.

Gearshift assistant at extra cost

higher price than for the S despite fewer features

Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro 2024

Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro 2024

The Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro impresses as a versatile all-rounder that cuts a fine figure both on the road and off-road. Its comfort features and balanced suspension offer amateur riders a pleasant experience, although it does not reach the top in extreme off-road situations. The Tiger impresses with its elastic three-cylinder engine and solid features, although the slow menu start is a little annoying. Overall, it is a universal bike that offers a successful compromise between touring, sportiness and off-road performance.

All-round talent

elastic engine

good comfortable suspension

good ergonomics

understandable menu navigation

Suspension too spongy for pure off-road use

therefore too little feedback at a fast pace

sluggishness when "raising" the display
