KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2016

A KTM não sabe voltar atrás e não conhece nenhum limite. É por isso que a nova 1290 Super Duke R é um pouco mais fácil de manusear do que a sua antecessora, mas também um pouco mais forte e mais rápida. Já a 2500 rpm, mais de 100 Nm estão disponíveis, o máximo é 141, o desempenho máximo é declarado em 177 hp. Pode ser demasiado, mas não tem de ser. A eletrónica continua a ser a tábua de salvação nesta categoria, onde o desenvolvimento continua a avançar fortemente. A KTM começou onde tinha dificuldades e isso foi a estabilidade. As alterações à geometria e ao chassis melhoraram significativamente este aspeto, tornando a condução da besta não só mais rápida, mas também mais segura. A manobrabilidade não é menos radical por isso, e os genes de supermoto são mais evidentes do que em qualquer outra moto naked. Só pode haver uma Super Duke.
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.
