KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2018

The epithet "Beast" is not completely out of the blue, the KTM is and remains a brutal naked bike - 177 hp from two pots with a combined displacement of 1301 cubic metres is nothing harmless. Nevertheless, it is surprisingly easy to control; the upright seating position combined with the good handling make it seem almost docile. Compared to its predecessor, it has been improved precisely at its weakest points. The engine now runs more smoothly, the shift assistant brings calmness in the acceleration phase and the chassis has been improved in quality. But it still loves the wild chase more than high speed in long curves.

KTM 890 SMT je motocikel, ki niha med dvema svetovoma - preveč športen za turne kolesarje in pretežak za prave ljubitelje supermota. Toda prav v tej niši je njegova privlačnost: če iščete okretno potovalno kolo z geni supermota, je KTM 890 SMT resnično zabaven stroj, ki pogumno nasprotuje glavnemu toku. Kljub manjšim pomanjkljivostim glede udobja in podobe je to notranja izbira za individualiste - in trenutno je zaradi popustov še posebej privlačen.
