Voge DS 900 X versus KTM 890 Adventure

Conclusion on the Voge DS 900 X

The Voge DS 900 X is a well-made mid-range adventure bike at an unbeatable price. It is almost fully equipped and leaves nothing to be desired. A little fine-tuning is still missing here and there, but the gap to the bikes of the established manufacturers is already surprisingly small.
 
If you are actually flirting with GS Adventure or similar machines, you should definitely take a closer look at the Voge DS 900 X and take it for a test drive. A price advantage of about 50 percent compared to the competition is certainly a convincing argument for many motorcyclists in these times. It may well be that Voge has landed a real hit here, which we will then also see in the sales figures.

Conclusion - what's stuck?

More steam, more technology, more fun? After our test, we can answer yes to this initial question. However, owners of a 790 Adventure don't have to go straight to the KTM dealer and buy an 890. The differences between these two bikes are not as great as KTM likes to portray. Nevertheless, the 890 Adventure is the better motorcycle.
 
Competitors are the Triumph Tiger 900, the Suzuki V-Strom 1050 and the Ducati Multistrada 950 - the travel enduros of the upper middle class. The difference from the upper-class thick ships such as the BMW GS 1250 and 1290 SAS is clearly noticeable, but as described above, both advantages and disadvantages are noticeable.
