KTM 1290 Super Adventure S 2017
La KTM 1290 Super Adventure S est plus qu'une moto d'aventure sportive - c'est une machine de sport qui peut aussi faire des randonnées.

Enfin, l'énorme écran TFT et d'autres gadgets comme le système Race-on ou My Ride sont tout à fait convaincants.
Ducati Multistrada V4 Rally 2023
La Ducati Multistrada V4 Rally préfère généralement la route aux off-roads difficiles, c'est ce que l'on a compris dès le début en regardant la fiche technique. Et que, malgré tout, elle ne recule devant aucune aventure. Mais tous les testeurs ont été surpris et impressionnés par l'aisance avec laquelle elle maîtrise les passages difficiles. Malgré une roue de 19 pouces et une masse importante, elle n'est pas seulement capable de rouler sur des chemins de terre. C'est surtout la bonne électronique et le moteur finement dosé qui la rendent maniable en off-road. Les limites naturelles de ce bolide tout-terrain ne se font sentir qu'à grande vitesse, par des éléments de suspension qui claquent ou dans des passages de trial très rudes, par la perte de stabilité de la roue avant. Celui qui ne pardonne pas cela à une moto d'aventure de cette dimension cherche dans le mauvais segment.
