KTM 1290 Super Adventure 2015

A 1290 Super Adventure é corretamente apresentada pela KTM como um porta-estandarte da aventura. Equipada com eletrónica sofisticada e quase tudo o que se pode precisar numa grande enduro de turismo, recomenda-se como esperado para o longo prazo. No entanto, o que não se vê imediatamente pela sua aparência volumosa é que a Super Adventure, tal como as suas irmãs 1190, é uma máquina incrivelmente divertida. Especialmente em curvas apertadas, é uma diversão inacreditável. A eletrónica controla a tração, o chassis e a gestão do motor de forma tão discreta que se pode concentrar totalmente e, acima de tudo, com segurança, na aceleração. Nas rectas intermédias, os 160 cv de potência asseguram que a 1290 Super Adventure também pode cumprir os requisitos desportivos e, portanto, dificilmente é ultrapassada em termos de universalidade.
Ducati Multistrada 1200 S 2015

A nova Ducati Multistrada 1200 S é uma nova edição completamente bem sucedida da enduro de turismo extra-desportiva. As fraquezas da antecessora foram obviamente analisadas em pormenor e corrigidas: graças ao sistema DVT, o motor agora também funciona harmoniosamente na gama de rotações mais baixa e a posição do assento é agora também mais adequada para os pilotos orientados para o conforto. A eletrónica foi melhorada em grande escala; nenhuma outra enduro de turismo está tão bem equipada. A começar pelos vários modos ajustáveis de potência e suspensão, os travões e o ABS para curvas são também do mais alto nível. Embora a Multisrtrada 1200 "normal" não tenha alguns truques electrónicos, também é mais barata e não tem uma condução pior em geral.
