KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2016
KTM knows no turning back and KTM knows no quarter. That's why the new 1290 Super Duke R is a little easier to handle than its predecessor, but also a little stronger and faster. Already at 2500 rpm, over 100 Nm are available, the maximum is 141, the top performance is stated at 177 hp. That may be too much, but it doesn't have to be. The electronics remain the lifeline in this category, where development continues to move forward strongly. KTM has started where it had difficulties and that was stability. Changes to the geometry and chassis have improved this significantly, making the ride on the beast not only faster, but also safer. The handling is no less radical for that, and the supermoto genes are more evident than on any other naked bike. There can only be one Super Duke.
Yamaha MT-10 2022
The new MT-10 is a really successful evolution of its predecessor, but remains completely true to its character. The new electronics package with a 6-axis IMU is a blast, all features are so well coordinated and work so well together that the rider is optimally supported by the electronics in every situation without being overbearingly patronised. The rest of the components in the chassis and brakes are completely in order and the Mad Max-Brachialo style look has been toned down a little in direct comparison to the predecessor, but still remains unique and clearly recognisable as an MT-10.
