Husqvarna Norden 901 Expedition 2023

O modelo básico da Husqvarna Norden já tem muito para oferecer, mas a nova "Expedition" consegue ir ainda mais longe com o seu chassis melhorado e equipamento adicional. É tão versátil como um canivete suíço. Não há praticamente nenhuma tarefa que não esteja à altura. Preciso e desportivo na estrada, e igualmente robusto e confiante fora de estrada. Uma verdadeira máquina de fazer tudo! Tendo em conta o extenso equipamento adicional, o preço parece estar em ordem em comparação com o North básico. Tendo em vista a ainda mais desportiva KTM 890 Adventure R, é de notar que a Husqvarna também se mantém um pouco mais fiel à ideia de conforto com a Expedition.
KTM 1290 Super Adventure S 2021

Em suma, a KTM 1290 Super Adventure S, com capacidade para longas distâncias, foi concebida para uma viagem a dois, em que o condutor quase nunca tem de pensar para onde vai. Gosta de secções de autoestrada, passagens rápidas em estradas rurais ou passagens sinuosas de montanha nas curvas mais apertadas, tanto como de estradas não pavimentadas com a ocasional secção de gravilha áspera, onde é principalmente o condutor ou a sua rotina que decidem até onde podem ir. A maneabilidade, que foi melhorada em comparação com a antecessora devido ao depósito mais baixo (e, portanto, ao centro de gravidade), também marca pontos aqui. O chassis eletrónico lida perfeitamente com as superfícies variáveis de uma viagem e transmite sempre transparência, a soberania do motor em todas as situações. Pronto para a corrida - ou também: Pronto para corridas de longa distância!
