KTM 990 Duke 2024

KTM 990 Duke 2024

The KTM 990 Duke is a bike with rough edges – in the truest sense of the word. It isn’t the perfect all-rounder, nor is it the most harmonious model in its class, but it has something that many other bikes lack: genuine character. Anyone looking for a naked bike that challenges and inspires them, that stirs the emotions and makes no compromises, will find a faithful companion in the Duke. It is the bike for individualists, for riders who are looking for something special and are prepared to make compromises to get it.

Extremely light at just 192 kg

A characterful twin-cylinder engine with plenty of acceleration

Extremely agile and playful handling

Rear-wheel ABS that is disengageable for sporty riders

Surprisingly comfortable ergonomics, even for taller riders

Great fun to ride on winding roads

The engine needs at least 3,000 rpm to run smoothly

The pricing policy for electronic driving aids, which involves additional charges, is a bit annoying

A slight tendency to be twitchy – take care at very high speeds when carrying luggage

MV Agusta Brutale 800 2026

MV Agusta Brutale 800 2026

The MV Agusta Brutale 800 is a strong entry into the world of the Italian brand. It looks fantastic, offers a three-cylinder engine full of character and good usability, very agile handling and extensive standard equipment. Added to this is a price that makes the Brutale much more accessible than many other MV models. It is not quite perfect. The transmission could be smoother, the clutch requires a little more manual force and sporty riders might wish for more feeling for the front tyre. But these points do little to change the fact that the Brutale 800 is a lot of fun on the country road. It is easy to ride, emotional, has high-quality features and makes a real visual statement.

Independent, very high-quality MV Agusta design

Characterful three-cylinder engine with strong mid-range revs

Good usable punch from around 3,000 rpm

Aggressive, emotional sound

Very agile and light-footed handling

Good braking system with clean modulation

Comfortable, fully adjustable suspension

Stable shock with good reserves

Extensive standard equipment including IMU, riding modes, cornering ABS and cruise control

Automatic gearshift with up and down function as standard

More exclusive than many mainstream competitors

5-year factory warranty

Transmission feels a bit crisp and sometimes power-intensive

Little space between footrest and gear lever for larger feet

Clutch requires relatively high manual force

Feeling for the front tyre could be clearer with a sporty riding style

Fork rather soft in the basic setting

Handlebar position relatively far forward

Less accessible in detail compared to some competitors
