Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Triumph Street Triple S 2018
Clean responsiveness, great sound and a driving position - the Street Triple S offers a comfortable yet sporty riding experience. The naked bike rides with exceptional precision and agility and offers a lot of comfort, even on longer rides, where you can also enjoy the large 17.4-litre fuel tank. The electronic throttle control ensures precise response and makes it possible to set different riding modes. We also found the comparatively low vibrations for a triple and the pleasant geometry of the vehicle positive. Compared to the other bikes in the test and its two siblings, the R and RS, the chassis is a little lax - but the ingenious, husky roaring three-cylinder sound was convincing and definitely made our hearts beat faster!

If the looks don't bother you, it's hard to find anything the 790 can't do well, because in its hunting ground - the country road - it forms a wonderfully rounded package that doesn't really leave anything to be desired. Initial teething troubles have also been solved, which is why the KTM 790 Duke is still a real recommendation!
