KTM 1090 Adventure 2018

A KTM 1090 Adventure é um grande passo da sua antecessora, a 1050 Adventure, em direção às suas irmãs maiores. O pacote eletrónico com modos de condução ajustáveis, controlo de tração e ABS mantém-se no nível já elevado, mas o motor tem agora 125 cv, cerca de um terço (!) mais do que a 1050. Mais importante ainda, agora pode acelerar livremente até mais de 10.000 rpm e, portanto, oferece uma faixa de rotação mais utilizável. Dificilmente encontrará uma moto mais equilibrada na classe das grandes enduros de turismo, ainda com preços razoáveis.
KTM 1290 Super Adventure R 2017

A 1290 Super Adventure R é suposto ser o novo porta-estandarte todo-o-terreno da gama Adventure da KTM - e é! É espantoso como é fácil mover 240 quilos fora de estrada com o depósito cheio. O modo todo-o-terreno também é bastante convincente. Por outro lado, tal como na 1290 Super Adventure S, os 160 cv e 140 Newton metros de binário, bem como todas as características de conforto (exceto a suspensão ajustável eletronicamente) estão disponíveis na versão R: Quatro modos de desempenho (Sport, Street, Rain e Offroad), ABS em curva, controlo de tração, cruise control, sistema race-on sem chave e gestão de telemóvel "My Ride". Isto significa que a KTM 1290 Super Adventure R combina, de facto, quatro motos numa só - justificando assim o seu orgulhoso preço.
