KTM 790 Adventure R 2020

A Adventure R vai um passo mais longe do que o modelo de série. Aqui, os rapazes da WP foram finalmente autorizados a utilizar todos os seus recursos e a mostrar o que podem fazer. O chassis de maior qualidade compensa as desvantagens do longo curso da suspensão na estrada, mas marca pontos fora de estrada com enormes reservas. A sobretaxa é mais do que justificada. A altura do assento provavelmente restringirá um pouco a clientela.
Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin 2018

A nova Africa Twin veio exatamente como os fãs esperavam: Bem controlável, sem agitação e uma óptima companheira de viagem. O facto de também ter um aspeto extremamente bonito foi um bónus agradável. Portanto, não há razão para mudar fundamentalmente a Africa Twin, o que era bom continua bom na nova - e muito foi melhorado. Graças ao Ride by Wire, agora também é possível desfrutar dos modos de desempenho na Africa Twin, e o controlo de tração pode ser ajustado 7 vezes (em vez de 3 vezes anteriormente) e desligado. O DCT opcional continua a ser um grande sucesso e muito divertido, mas também custa muito.
