Technical Specifications KTM 1050 Adventure 2015 compared to BMW R 1200 GS Adventure 2015
Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
KTM 1050 Adventure 2015
KTM 1050 Adventure tar vid där 990 Adventure slutade för några år sedan: Runt 100 hk kraft, lekfulla köregenskaper och så mycket eller så lite elektronik som för närvarande är modernt. Motorn är allt annat än svag, ABS och traction control reglerar säkert och diskret och hanteringen är extremt rolig, delvis på grund av de relativt smala däcken. Och allt detta till ett pris som endast underskrids av ett fåtal konkurrenter i ligan för stora touring-enduros. Hur tråkigt det än är har de två 1190 Adventure och framför allt flaggskeppet 1290 Super Adventure stigit i pris till mycket höga nivåer. Och det är just därför som KTM 1050 Adventure kanske är den mest sammanhållna av de fyra Adventure-modellerna.
BMW R 1200 GS Adventure 2015
Som den mest framgångsrika leverantören av stora enduromotorcyklar har BMW under många år varit mycket framgångsrika med att etablera den stora R 1200 GS Adventure som den ultimata långdistansmotorcykeln för touring. Adventure bygger på kördynamiken och den höga offroad- och touringkompetensen hos den konventionella R 1200 GS och representerar den maximala lösningen för offroad-touringförare. Med sin skrymmande kåpa och 30-liters tank har 125 hk-motorn mer att släpa på, men en hög grad av smidighet bibehålls fortfarande. Det sparas inte på något när det gäller utrustning, den stora Adventure erbjuder hela programmet: ABS, ASC (Automatic Stability Control) och två körlägen "Rain" och "Road" är standard.
