Pros and Cons in comparison
KTM 1090 Adventure 2017

A KTM 1090 Adventure é um grande passo da sua antecessora, a 1050 Adventure, em direção às suas irmãs maiores. O pacote eletrónico com modos de condução ajustáveis, controlo de tração e ABS mantém-se no nível já elevado, mas o motor tem agora 125 cv, cerca de um terço (!) mais do que a 1050. Mais importante ainda, agora pode acelerar livremente até mais de 10.000 rpm e, portanto, oferece uma faixa de rotação mais utilizável. Dificilmente encontrará uma moto mais equilibrada na classe das grandes enduros de turismo, ainda com preços razoáveis.
KTM 890 SMT 2023

Quem pensou que a nova 8980 SMT iria desempenhar um papel de apoio desnecessário entre os modelos 890 Adventure e 890 Duke, provavelmente enganou-se. Raramente antes uma mota conseguiu fazer tanto o que sugere no exterior com o seu aspeto. Assim, a 890 SMT quer ser movida de uma forma desportiva - e consegue fazê-lo particularmente bem. No entanto, com a carenagem, o selim bem acolchoado e a posição de assento direita, até as longas distâncias são fáceis de dominar. Os travões têm uma aderência firme e o comportamento é extremamente ágil, mesmo em curvas apertadas. O lema da 890 SMT é claramente viajar e correr!
