KTM 690 SMC R 2019

Si l'on veut goûter au plaisir du supermotard sans filtre sur la route, la KTM 690 SMC R est le seul choix possible. La LC4 a certes été fortement cultivée entre-temps, mais elle apporte toujours les vertus que l'on attend d'un monocylindre. Différentes aides à la conduite peuvent également être activées au choix, mais elles ne sont pas obligatoires ! Grâce à son faible poids, elle peut être lancée dans les virages comme un vélo et - si on le peut - être transférée sur la roue arrière de manière ludique. Seul l'affichage pourrait faire l'objet d'une cure de jouvence de la part de KTM, car il donne rapidement l'impression de se trouver encore dans les années 90. Mais les vrais fans de supermotard ne s'y arracheront pas les cheveux.
KTM 690 Duke 2019

Si l'on considère le point de départ de la famille KTM Duke, la 690 Duke représente un progrès incroyable. Le moteur est extrêmement raffiné et en même temps très puissant pour un monocylindre homologué pour la route. Malgré toute la technologie embarquée, elle reste une moto très légère et peut presque être considérée comme un jouet (dans le bon sens du terme). Seule sa position de conduite divise les opinions, car les supermotos d'autrefois sont devenues avec la Duke 4 en 2012 une naked bike presque docile avec une position de conduite orientée vers la roue avant. L'avantage : le quotidien et les longues randonnées ne devraient pas poser de problème sur la Duke actuelle.
