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.

A GS também nos impressionou com a sua versatilidade durante o teste em novembro de 2021. Conduzimos a moto numa grande variedade de terrenos e ficámos mais uma vez muito satisfeitos. A moto convence em todas as situações com seu fácil manuseio e praticidade. Por outro lado, também pode ser montado deliciosamente irracionalmente.
