Pros and Cons in comparison

KTM 790 Adventure 2024

The KTM 790 Adventure is still one of the sportiest mid-range touring enduros - if you are looking for a touring machine that is brutally nimble on and off road, you will find it here. At the same time, however, the chassis and engine offer sufficient comfort and good manners to keep the rider from going mad even on longer liaison stages. The engine is wonderfully powerful for this class, fuel consumption is surprisingly low and the driving aids are even on a higher level than usual. The ergonomics are fine on the road, the off-road ergonomics could even be a little less radical. Overall, however, the 790 Adventure offers a really good price/performance ratio and great riding performance.

Rev-happy engine with impressive power

low fuel consumption

excellent traction control regulation

effective wind protection with a wide range of settings

logical controls

agile handling

precise ride

effective brakes

comfortable on-road ergonomics

well-dosed clutch.

sporty Quickshifter+ only at extra cost

chassis adjustment range not too wide

handlebar position too low off-road

KTM 990 Duke 2025

The KTM 990 Duke is a bike with rough edges - in the truest sense of the word. It is not the perfect all-rounder, not the most harmonious representative of its class, but it has something that many other bikes lack: real character. Anyone looking for a naked bike that challenges and encourages them, that arouses emotions and makes no compromises, will find a loyal companion in the Duke. It is the bike for individualists, for riders who are looking for something special and are prepared to compromise for it.

Very low weight of just 192 kg

Strong two-cylinder engine with plenty of acceleration

Extremely agile and playful handling

Disengageable ABS on the rear wheel for sporty riders

Surprisingly relaxed ergonomics even for taller riders

Height of entertainment value on winding roads

Engine needs at least 3000 rpm for smooth running

Surcharge-based pricing policy for the electronic driving aids somewhat annoying

Slight tendency towards nervousness - be careful at very high speeds with luggage
