KTM 1290 Super Adventure R 2017

A 1290 Super Adventure R é suposto ser o novo porta-estandarte todo-o-terreno da gama Adventure da KTM - e é! É espantoso como é fácil mover 240 quilos fora de estrada com o depósito cheio. O modo todo-o-terreno também é bastante convincente. Por outro lado, tal como na 1290 Super Adventure S, os 160 cv e 140 Newton metros de binário, bem como todas as características de conforto (exceto a suspensão ajustável eletronicamente) estão disponíveis na versão R: Quatro modos de desempenho (Sport, Street, Rain e Offroad), ABS em curva, controlo de tração, cruise control, sistema race-on sem chave e gestão de telemóvel "My Ride". Isto significa que a KTM 1290 Super Adventure R combina, de facto, quatro motos numa só - justificando assim o seu orgulhoso preço.
BMW R nineT Urban G/S 2017

Como uma das 5 R nineTs diferentes, a Urban G/S é também uma variação bem sucedida do boxer refrigerado a ar, que, como nos outros modelos, produz 110 cv e não deixa nada a desejar em termos de mais potência. Os travões também estão ao mesmo nível da R nineT original, apenas o chassis tem de fazer concessões. O ABS é de série, o ASC tem um custo adicional. Não é preciso muito mais para ficar satisfeito. A única coisa de que não gostaríamos de prescindir são as jantes de raios de arame, porque em conjunto com o TKC80 completam o visual.
