Pros and Cons in comparison

Aprilia Caponord 1200 ABS 2017

Unfortunately, our editors did not test this model.

KTM 1090 Adventure R 2017

That's exactly how a KTM should be. It feels sporty, but also offers a lot of comfort. Off-road, it was robust, reliable and fast. The chassis does everything, the braking as well. The electronic riding aids enable completely new sections for this weight class. If it weren't for the enormous seat height, it would be a terrific tip for many enduro riders.

Powerful sporty engine

practical modes for onroad and offroad which perfectly regulate traction control and peak power

robust and offroad-compatible chassis

huge choice of accessories and equipment from KTM.

Seat height is enormous. Body height 180cm is minimum

engine response a little too sporty on long trips

sluggish at low speeds.
