Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison

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.

La Tiger Explorer pourrait tout aussi bien venir de Bavière. Seules les roues en fonte au lieu des rayons en fil de fer permettent aux Anglais de suivre leur propre voie, qui passe nettement plus par l'asphalte que par la terre. Pour le reste, il faut dire que le moteur est convaincant, mais que les freins le sont moins.
