Technical Specifications KTM 890 Duke 2021 compared to KTM 1290 Super Adventure S 2022
Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
KTM 890 Duke 2021

A antecessora 790 Duke já provou que a KTM sabe como construir uma moto naked de gama média para a estrada. A nova 890 carrega a tocha com um peito inchado e mais uma vez faz jus à sua alcunha de bisturi. Viva, puxa os raios e transmite um certo nervosismo que pode ser interpretado como um carácter selvagem. O equipamento está quase completo - mas só quase. Porque é que se tem de pagar um extra pela alavanca de velocidades, quando esta era de série no antecessor? É ainda mais irritante que a mudança de velocidades sem embraiagem funcione tão suavemente como manteiga e que não se queira passar sem ela.
KTM 1290 Super Adventure S 2022

Mesmo um ano após a sua apresentação, a KTM 1290 Super Adventure S é tudo menos velha. O motor Euro5 continua a brilhar incrivelmente com os seus 160 cv e o binário argen de 138 Newton metros. A eletrónica refinada garante uma condução ainda mais suave, o que, graças ao manuseamento maravilhosamente ágil, resulta em muita diversão nas curvas. Mas a nova SASi também tem muito para oferecer aos amantes do conforto e a todos aqueles que valorizam as qualidades de turismo deste tipo de mota. Uma boa caraterística de série é o controlo de velocidade de cruzeiro adaptativo ACC, que mantém de forma independente a distância em relação ao veículo da frente - e funciona muito bem. Em todo o caso, recomenda-se o Quickshifter+ ou o TechPack com tudo incluído - tendo em conta o preço base, o custo adicional de cerca de 1.000 euros não tem grande importância.
