KTM 1090 Adventure 2018

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.
KTM 1290 Super Adventure S 2021

Dans l'ensemble, la KTM 1290 Super Adventure S, adaptée aux longs trajets, est faite pour les voyages à deux, le pilote n'ayant presque jamais à se demander où il va aller. Elle apprécie tout autant les tronçons d'autoroute, les passages rapides sur les routes de campagne ou les routes de col sinueuses dans les épingles les plus étroites que les chemins non goudronnés avec parfois des passages en gravier plus grossiers, où c'est avant tout le pilote ou sa routine qui décide jusqu'où il peut aller. C'est là que la maniabilité améliorée par rapport au modèle précédent, grâce au réservoir (et donc au centre de gravité) abaissé, marque des points. Le châssis électronique s'accommode parfaitement des surfaces changeantes d'un voyage et transmet toujours de la transparence, le moteur de la souveraineté dans toutes les situations. Ready to race, en somme - ou bien : prêt pour la course au long cours !
