Pros
-
Proven KTM-Derived Engine
The 800NK is powered by a 799cc parallel-twin engine derived from the KTM 790 Duke, delivering approximately 94 bhp and 58 lb-ft of torque. This engine offers strong mid-range performance and a responsive throttle, making it suitable for both spirited rides and daily commuting. -
Competitive Pricing with Advanced Features
Priced competitively, the 800NK offers features like a 5-inch TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity, cruise control, and fully adjustable KYB suspension. The Advanced variant adds an 8-inch TFT display with Apple CarPlay, a quickshifter, and a steering damper, providing excellent value for its price point.
Cons
-
Lack of Advanced Rider Aids
Unlike some competitors, the 800NK lacks a six-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU), which means it doesn't offer advanced features like cornering ABS or traction control. This omission may affect rider confidence, especially in challenging riding conditions. -
Firm Suspension and Seat Comfort
The stock suspension setup leans towards the stiffer side, which, combined with a relatively thin seat, can lead to a less comfortable ride over rough surfaces or during long-distance travel. Adjustments or aftermarket solutions might be necessary for enhanced comfort.
