KTM 1290 Super Adventure S 2017

La KTM 1290 Super Adventure S est plus qu'une moto d'aventure sportive - c'est une machine de sport qui peut aussi faire des randonnées. Le moteur de 160 ch n'est pas seulement extrêmement puissant, il est aussi très facile à utiliser et donne envie de rouler de manière sportive. Les nombreux systèmes d'assistance électroniques comme le contrôle de traction, la suspension semi-active, les différents modes et l'ABS en virage contribuent également à ce que l'on se sente parfaitement à l'aise sur la 1290 Super Adventure S. Enfin, l'énorme écran TFT et d'autres gadgets comme le système Race-on ou My Ride sont tout à fait convaincants.

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.
