Caractéristiques techniques KTM 1090 Adventure 2017 par rapport à Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin 2016
Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
KTM 1090 Adventure 2017
La KTM 1090 Adventure est un grand pas en avant par rapport à son prédécesseur, la 1050 Adventure, en direction de ses grandes sœurs. Le package électronique avec les Riding Modes réglables, le contrôle de traction et l'ABS reste certes à un niveau déjà élevé, mais le moteur développe désormais 125 ch, soit environ un tiers ( !) de plus que la 1050. Ce qui est presque plus important, c'est qu'il peut désormais tirer librement jusqu'à plus de 10 000 tours et offre ainsi une plage de régime plus exploitable. Il est difficile de trouver une moto plus équilibrée dans la catégorie des grandes enduros de voyage encore à peu près abordables.
Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin 2016
La légende est de retour, affirmait Honda avec force - mais la mission est réussie au plus haut point, l'Africa Twin, au nom plutôt encombrant de CRF1000L Africa Twin, est une enduro très maniable et d'une excellente maniabilité, qui fonctionne bien sur tous les terrains. Même sur la terre et les single trails, où une maniabilité simple est évidemment très importante. Avec 95 ch, il lui manque certes 65 ch par rapport à l'élite, mais pour une maniabilité aussi équilibrée, il n'en faut pas plus. La CRF1000L Africa Twin est même sans concurrence sur un point : elle peut être commandée avec une boîte de vitesses à double embrayage DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission).
