Ducati XDiavel S 2016

Ducati XDiavel S 2016

The X Diavel S from Ducati can do much more than you give it credit for. It rides nimbly and agilely through wide radii. In tight radii, you need a little pressure on the handlebars, but for a motorbike in this class, it offers unbeatable lean angle freedom. You can ride it sportily at high speeds. High-quality brakes and a great chassis complete this surprisingly agile riding machine. Clearly, the X Diavel S rides at least as well as it looks.

Surprisingly easy to handle on wide radii and also when cornering

high-quality chassis

great brakes

enormous power

high-quality appearance

high lean angle clearance

At high lean angles, significant pressure on the handlebars is necessary

KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2021

The KTM Super Duke R has evolved perfectly over the generations: The engine is strong, has a huge amount of torque and in the current version also works excellently from low revs. However, the excellent interaction of all components is responsible for the overall wonderful performance of the big Duke. The active seating position is comfortable and unbelievably driving-friendly, the chassis is of a high standard, the brakes are powerful and the electronics are state of the art. Even the looks are now pleasing more and more critics. It's just a shame that you have to pay extra for the ingenious shift assistant with blipper.

wonderfully powerful engine with a lot of bang - especially from below and in the middle

super-agile and comfortable seating position

decent braking power

stable chassis, fully adjustable

comprehensive electronics package

acceptable consumption for the high power.

Shift assistant with blipper not standard
