Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
KTM 1050 Adventure 2015

La KTM 1050 Adventure reprend 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 KTM 1190 Adventure est un talent universel absolu, aucune exigence qu'elle ne remplisse pas : Elle concilie sport, voyage, cols et off-road.

Particulièrement imbattable sur les routes de montagne étroites, elle est également un compagnon agréable pour les trajets quotidiens vers le travail. Elle est également accompagnée d'un pack électronique complet avec des modes de puissance réglables, un contrôle de traction et même un ABS en cas d'inclinaison.
