Technical Specifications KTM 1050 Adventure 2016 compared to KTM 1290 Super Adventure S 2022
Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
KTM 1050 Adventure 2016
Na minha opinião, a KTM 1050 Adventure retoma o ponto em que a 990 Adventure parou há alguns anos: Cerca de 100 cv de potência, manuseamento lúdico e tanta ou tão pouca eletrónica como a que existe atualmente. O motor é tudo menos fraco, o ABS e o controlo de tração regulam de forma segura e discreta e o comportamento é extremamente divertido, em parte devido aos pneus relativamente estreitos. E tudo isto a um preço que só é ultrapassado por alguns concorrentes na liga das grandes enduros de turismo. Por mais triste que possa ser, as duas 1190 Adventures e, acima de tudo, a emblemática 1290 Super Adventure, subiram de preço para níveis muito elevados. E é precisamente por isso que a KTM 1050 Adventure é talvez o mais coerente dos quatro modelos Adventure.
KTM 1290 Super Adventure S 2022
Mesmo um ano após a sua apresentação, a KTM 1290 Super Adventure S é tudo menos velha. O motor Euro5 continua a brilhar incrivelmente com os seus 160 cv e o binário argen de 138 Newton metros. A eletrónica refinada garante uma condução ainda mais suave, o que, graças ao manuseamento maravilhosamente ágil, resulta em muita diversão nas curvas. Mas a nova SASi também tem muito para oferecer aos amantes do conforto e a todos aqueles que valorizam as qualidades de turismo deste tipo de mota. Uma boa caraterística de série é o controlo de velocidade de cruzeiro adaptativo ACC, que mantém de forma independente a distância em relação ao veículo da frente - e funciona muito bem. Em todo o caso, recomenda-se o Quickshifter+ ou o TechPack com tudo incluído - tendo em conta o preço base, o custo adicional de cerca de 1.000 euros não tem grande importância.
