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.
KTM 1290 Super Adventure 2015

La 1290 Super Adventure est présentée par KTM, à juste titre, comme le fleuron de l'aventure. Bourrée d'électronique sophistiquée et de presque tout ce dont on peut avoir besoin dans une moto d'aventure de grande taille, elle est recommandée, comme on pouvait s'y attendre, pour les longs voyages. Ce que l'on ne voit pas tout de suite avec son apparence massive, c'est que la Super Adventure est, comme ses sœurs 1190, une machine incroyablement amusante. C'est surtout dans les épingles étroites qu'elle procure un plaisir incroyable. L'électronique règle la traction, le châssis et la gestion du moteur de manière si discrète que l'on peut se concentrer entièrement et surtout en toute sécurité sur l'accélération. Dans les lignes droites intermédiaires, la puissance de 160 ch permet à la 1290 Super Adventure de répondre à des exigences sportives et d'être ainsi très universelle.
