KTM 1290 Super Adventure S 2024

KTM 1290 Super Adventure S 2024

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.

Suzuki V-Strom 1050 2024

Suzuki V-Strom 1050 2024

With the revision and expansion of the 1050 models, Suzuki now has the right large V-Strom for everyone. Those who know from the outset that they will be staying almost exclusively on the road will find the standard model a reliable travelling companion or even a buddy for every day, while those who are less restricted in their choice of routes and also want to ride regularly on unpaved terrain will now find a good choice in the DE. However, the main selling point remains the engine, which with its 107 Horsepower and, above all, its rich torque, leaves little to be desired.

High-torque motor High-quality electronics package

excellent ergonomics

extensive standard equipment

intuitive operation of the electronics

long-distance comfort

excellent wind and weather protection

good original equipment tyres

successful retro look

very confident riding performance

bike inspires a lot of confidence

high weight ABS cannot be switched off or deactivated at the rear
