KTM 1050 Adventure 2016

La KTM 1050 Adventure reprend à mon avis là où les aventures 990 s'étaient arrêtées il y a quelques années : Une puissance d'environ 100 ch, une maniabilité ludique et autant ou aussi peu d'électronique que l'état de l'art actuel. Le moteur est en effet tout sauf lent, l'ABS et le contrôle de traction règlent de manière sûre et discrète et la performance de conduite est extrêmement orientée vers le plaisir, notamment en raison des pneus relativement étroits. Et tout cela à un prix qui, dans la ligue des grands enduros de voyage, n'est battu que par quelques concurrents. Aussi triste que cela puisse paraître, les deux aventures 1190 et surtout le fleuron 1290 Super Adventure ont atteint des sommets en matière de prix. C'est pourquoi la KTM 1050 Adventure est peut-être même le modèle le plus cohérent des quatre Adventure.
Ducati Multistrada 950 S 2019

La Multistrada 950 S combine habilement plusieurs modèles Ducati en une moto d'aventure de classe moyenne supérieure. Elle reprend l'esthétique de la grande Multistrada 1260, ce qui lui confère bien sûr un énorme prestige. Le moteur de 114 ch provient de la série Hypermotard et bien que la petite Multi S doive transporter 30 kilos de plus que l'Hypermotard 950, elle peut être conduite de manière très rapide. Il devrait être évident que le confort est très important sur une moto d'aventure. Équipée d'une électronique riche, elle est capable de faire tout ce qu'une moto de tourisme moderne doit faire et offre en plus une option extrêmement raffinée avec la suspension Skyhook à réglage électronique.
