CF MOTO 800MT

Another important novelty from the Milan Show was the CF MOTO 800MT.
The Chinese maxi enduro should not be misleading, as its power unit is the same mounted on the KTM 790 Adventure.
In fact, CFMOTO produces the 799 cc engine of the Austrian motorcycles having a joint venture with the company from Mattighofen.
The power and torque values ​​are in fact the same as the KTM: 95 HP and 77 Nm. In common they also maintain the slipper clutch, the ride by wire and the cornering ABS. Adjustable Kayaba suspension with 160 mm of travel at the front and 150 at the rear.

HUSQVARNA NORDEN 901

Like Ducati, the Norden 901, presented at Eicma in 2019, took a long time to come, but today it is available in dealerships.
The first maxi enduro of the Swedish company was built on the platform of its cousin Ktm 890 Adventure. In fact, it shares the 899 cc twin-cylinder engine with it.
The Husqvarna Norden 901 is equipped with WP APEX suspension with 43mm fork and 220mm of travel, making it less specialist than the Ktm 890 Adventure R.
The round headlight line recalls the glorious Ktm 950 and 990, but with significant updates and electronic equipment, such as the round LED headlight and the 5-inch tft.
Available from December 2021 at the base price of € 15.340

LXP presents two novelties in the adventure world, the 5.5 and 9.5.
While the 5.5 takes a lot from the Benelli Trk 502, the 9.5 is a completely new project, and is the real novelty of the brand owned by MV Agusta.
The 9.5 is equipped with the famous three-cylinder MV which for the occasion was increased to 930 cc and provides 123 hp and 102 Nm of maximum torque.

MOTO MORINI X-CAPE

Could the Moto Morini X-Cape be the real antagonist of the super-sold Benelli Trk 502? The "entry-level" adventure of the Italian manufacturer certainly sports very interesting equipment and aesthetics.
The X-Cape's engine is a 650cc twin-cylinder that delivers 48PS, while the chassis features a fully adjustable 50mm fork, capable of 160mm of travel.
The Brembo-branded braking system guarantees excellent components, electronically enriched by a large 7-inch tft.
The Moto Morini, however, is devoid of riding mode, traction control, or ride by wire, in fact, only the ABS is in the list, which can be excluded from the left block.
As original equipment tires we find the excellent Pirelli Scorpion rally Str.
Price from 7290 €.
