Pros and Cons in comparison

KTM 890 Adventure 2021

The Adventure conveys a light-footedness and sportiness that is often missing in the class of touring enduros. The engine is lively and ensures rapid overtaking manoeuvres at the pass. However, the cheeky sportiness loses something of the dignified travelling comfort that one wishes for, especially on longer stages.

Super engine with linear, extremely superior power delivery

Very finely controlled brakes

Comprehensive electronics

Good ergonomics for both sitting and standing riding

Low seat height also suits shorter people

Quickshifter is an absolute dream and doubles the riding fun

Low centre of gravity creates great handling

Pricing policy for extras

telescopic fork at the front not adjustable

important components, such as quickshifter and cruise control, not included as standard.

Honda CRF300 Rally 2021

As a classic dual-sport bike, which unfortunately is all too rare these days, the lightweight Honda works very well both on and especially off the paved roads. In contrast to its predecessor, the CRF250 Rally, it has gained about 10 percent in power, but another 10 to 15 hp would be good for it. However, because the lower gears are now shorter, you can feel the increase in power, and the longer sixth gear allows for more relaxed cruising at higher speeds.

Real off-road capability

ample suspension travel and ground clearance

low weight

agility

Low power
