If you look at the equipment list of the 800MT, especially the Touring version, you will be amazed at how much can be fitted as standard in a comparatively inexpensive mid-range touring enduro. The pannier system even scores with a smart lining for the panniers and top case. The chassis and brakes are good, the engine could be a little livelier and jerk less when cold, but overall the performance is good. However, the 800MT is by no means flawless. The technicians definitely need to improve the shift assistant and the menu navigation could be simpler. Visually, however, there is not much to complain about; the cooperation with Kiska-Design pays off!

In my eyes, the KTM is the sportiest of all mid-range touring enduros. If you are looking for a touring machine that is brutally nippy on road and off-road, you will find it here. At the same time, however, the chassis and engine offer sufficient comfort and good manners to keep the rider from going mad even on longer liaison stages.

Engine with manners AND character

Enormously high chassis stability

Brakes without reproach

Tremendous off-road capabilities

Low average consumption.

Unattractive surcharge policy

original seat not optimally shaped
