Pros and Cons in comparison

KTM 1290 Super Adventure R 2020

KTM 1290 Super Adventure R 2020

The 1290 Super Adventure R is supposed to be the new off-road flagship of the KTM Adventure range - and it is! It's amazing how easy it is to move 240 kilos off-road with a full tank. The off-road mode is also largely convincing. On the other hand, as on the 1290 Super Adventure S, the full 160 hp and 140 Newton metres of torque as well as all comfort features (apart from the electronically adjustable suspension) are available on the R version: Four performance modes (Sport, Street, Rain and Offroad), cornering ABS, traction control, cruise control, keyless race-on system and the mobile phone management "My Ride". This means that the KTM 1290 Super Adventure R actually combines four motorbikes in one - and thus justifies the proud price.

Fully off-road capable

good off-road mode

easy handling

very powerful and refined engine

state-of-the-art electronic features such as traction control, quickshifter and cornering ABS

large, easy-to-read TFT display

LED headlights with cornering lights.

High price

power-consuming height adjustment of the windshield

Triumph Tiger 800 XCA 2019

Triumph Tiger 800 XCA 2019

The best Tiger 800 ever - because while the new Tiger 800 XCa can boast a special Offroad Pro mode and a superb standing position off-road, it doesn't mess around on paved roads either: superb seating position, the same manoeuvrability as the more road-oriented Tiger 800 XRt thanks to wider handlebars and even more lean angle clearance thanks to the longer suspension travel. You don't have to do without comfort despite serious off-road capabilities and sporty rideability; colour TFT display, height-adjustable windshield, heated grips and seats as well as full LED lighting are not even available at extra cost from other manufacturers in the mid-range touring enduro class, but are standard on Triumph's top model.

Agile engine

easy handling

full comfort features

six different riding modes

Offroad Pro mode

great standing position off-road

traction control and ABS can be deactivated

Colour TFT display not optimally anti-reflective

high price
