Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
KTM 690 Duke 2019
Considerando o ponto de partida da família KTM Duke, a 690 Duke é um incrível passo em frente. O motor é extremamente refinado e, ao mesmo tempo, robusto para um monocilíndrico de rua. Apesar de toda a tecnologia a bordo, continua a ser uma moto muito leve e quase pode ser considerada um brinquedo (no bom sentido). Só a sua posição de assento divide as opiniões, porque com a Duke 4 em 2012, as antigas supermotos tornaram-se numa moto nua quase domesticada com uma posição de assento orientada para a roda dianteira. A vantagem: a vida quotidiana e as longas viagens não devem ser um problema na atual Duke.

A KTM Super Duke R evoluiu na perfeição ao longo das gerações: O motor é forte, tem uma enorme quantidade de binário e, na versão atual, também funciona de forma excelente a partir de baixas rotações. No entanto, a excelente interação de todos os componentes é responsável pelo maravilhoso desempenho geral da grande Duke. A posição de assento ativa é confortável e incrivelmente fácil de conduzir, o chassis é de alto nível, os travões são potentes e a eletrónica é de última geração. Até a aparência está a agradar a cada vez mais críticos. É apenas uma pena que tenha de pagar um extra pelo engenhoso assistente de mudanças com blipper.
