KTM 690 SMC R 2019

Se quiser experimentar a alegria de uma supermoto sem filtros na estrada, a KTM 690 SMC R é a única escolha. O LC4 foi muito cultivado nesse meio tempo, mas ainda traz as virtudes que você espera de um monocilíndrico. Várias ajudas à condução também podem ser activadas à escolha, mas não são obrigatórias! Graças ao seu baixo peso, ela também pode ser jogada nas curvas como uma bicicleta e - se você puder - levada de brincadeira para a roda traseira. A única coisa que a KTM talvez pudesse fazer com uma remodelação são os ecrãs, porque rapidamente dão a impressão de que ainda estamos nos anos 90. No entanto, os verdadeiros fãs de supermoto não vão certamente arrancar os cabelos por causa disto.
KTM 690 Duke 2019

Considerando o ponto de partida da família KTM Duke, a 690 Duke é um incrível passo em frente. O motor é extremamente refinado e, ao mesmo tempo, robusto para um monocilíndrico de rua. Apesar de toda a tecnologia a bordo, continua a ser uma moto muito leve e quase pode ser considerada um brinquedo (no bom sentido). Só a sua posição de assento divide as opiniões, porque com a Duke 4 em 2012, as antigas supermotos tornaram-se numa moto nua quase domesticada com uma posição de assento orientada para a roda dianteira. A vantagem: a vida quotidiana e as longas viagens não devem ser um problema na atual Duke.
