Caractéristiques techniques Ducati Monster SP 2023 par rapport à KTM 890 Duke 2021
Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Ducati Monster SP 2023

La version SP est certes la plus chère, mais aussi la meilleure Ducati Monster. Tout s'accorde parfaitement, parce que c'est typiquement sportif chez Ducati. La suspension Öhlins entièrement réglable (donc aussi la fourche en or suédois !) remplit parfaitement son rôle, le système de freinage Brembo Stylema est puissant mais pas désagréable et la position de conduite, bien que sportive, est toujours agréable grâce à son orientation un peu plus vers l'avant. Même le moteur s'intègre très bien dans le concept de ce naked bike de classe moyenne très sportif - il ne demande qu'à être tourné et fournit le plus de puissance en haut. Si l'on cherche un défaut au Monster SP, il s'agit surtout des à-coups du V2 à bas régime, mais les vrais fans du moteur V2 à 90° ne s'en plaignent pas. Le prix n'est pas non plus un obstacle, les Italiens font payer assez cher les performances de la version SP.
KTM 890 Duke 2021

Son prédécesseur, la 790 Duke, avait déjà prouvé que KTM savait comment construire une naked bike de classe moyenne pour la route. La nouvelle 890 porte le flambeau avec une poitrine gonflée et mérite à nouveau son surnom de scalpel. Poussive, elle trace des courbes tout en dégageant une certaine nervosité qui peut être interprétée comme un caractère sauvage. Les caractéristiques / options sont presque complètes - mais presque seulement. Pourquoi faut-il payer un supplément pour le Quickshifter alors qu'il était monté de série sur le modèle précédent ? C'est d'autant plus énervant que le passage des vitesses sans embrayage fonctionne en douceur et que l'on n'a pas envie d'y renoncer.
