Pros and Cons in comparison

KTM 790 Adventure R 2020

The Adventure R goes one step further than the standard model. Here, the WP guys were finally allowed to draw on their full resources and show what they can do. The higher-quality chassis compensates for the disadvantages of the long suspension travel on the road, but scores points off-road with massive reserves. The surcharge is more than justified. The seat height will probably restrict the clientele somewhat.

High chassis quality ensures a wide range of use

Engine offers great running culture, rich torque and perfectly dimensioned power

Easy-to-read display

Practical rally electronics package

Despite radical chassis also stable, manoeuvrable and suitable for everyday use on the road

Quickshifter not standard

indicator switch a little fiddly

seat a little more uncomfortable on long tours than on standard model

CFMOTO 800MT 2022

If you look at the equipment list of the 800MT, especially the Touring version, you will be amazed at how much can be fitted as standard in a comparatively inexpensive mid-range touring enduro. The pannier system even scores with a smart lining for the panniers and top case. The chassis and brakes are good, the engine could be a little livelier and jerk less when cold, but overall the performance is good. However, the 800MT is by no means flawless. The technicians definitely need to improve the shift assistant and the menu navigation could be simpler. Visually, however, there is not much to complain about; the cooperation with Kiska-Design pays off!

Comfortable seating position

good brakes

good handling

comfortable chassis

extensive equipment

attractive design.

Shift assistant too sluggish for sporty driving

no traction control

engine jerks when cold

complicated menu navigation

cruise control only up to 130 km/h
