Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
Ducati Monster 2021

Podemos sempre discutir a aparência e a falta de um quadro de treliça, mas a Monster atual é tudo menos feia. Basicamente, seria uma excelente naked para o dia a dia, com uma ergonomia agradável e um sistema de travagem que não surpreenderá nem mesmo os inexperientes. A suspensão ainda mais macia também pode ser vista como um compromisso aceitável, mas para uma Ducati é bastante surpreendente que pelo menos o garfo dianteiro não tenha sido ajustado um pouco mais firme. Infelizmente, o carismático motor bate forte em baixas rotações e, portanto, só revela o seu maravilhoso carácter V2 na estrada rural. No entanto, tudo isto reflecte muito bem a imagem geral da Monster: uma Ducati típica que também é boa para a condução diária em termos de suspensão e travões.

A KTM não sabe voltar atrás e não conhece nenhum limite. É por isso que a nova 1290 Super Duke R é um pouco mais fácil de manusear do que a sua antecessora, mas também um pouco mais forte e mais rápida. Já a 2500 rpm, mais de 100 Nm estão disponíveis, o máximo é 141, o desempenho máximo é declarado em 177 hp. Pode ser demasiado, mas não tem de ser. A eletrónica continua a ser a tábua de salvação nesta categoria, onde o desenvolvimento continua a avançar fortemente. A KTM começou onde tinha dificuldades e isso foi a estabilidade. As alterações à geometria e ao chassis melhoraram significativamente este aspeto, tornando a condução da besta não só mais rápida, mas também mais segura. A manobrabilidade não é menos radical por isso, e os genes de supermoto são mais evidentes do que em qualquer outra moto naked. Só pode haver uma Super Duke.
