In terms of seat height, the KTM 1050 Adventure has a slightly lower seat height of 850mm compared to the 865mm of the KTM 950 Supermoto. This could make the KTM 1050 Adventure more accessible to riders of different heights and provide a more comfortable riding position.

In terms of strengths, the KTM 1050 Adventure offers a powerful and refined engine, disengageable ABS, adjustable traction control, agile handling, adjustable ergonomics, and prestigious looks similar to its larger siblings.

In terms of weaknesses, the KTM 1050 Adventure has a rev limiter that kicks in at 8500 revs, which could limit its top speed and overall performance. Additionally, its chassis may be a little too soft for off-road use.

In my opinion, the KTM 1050 Adventure picks up where the 990 Adventure left off a few years ago: Around 100 hp of power, playful handling and as much or as little electronics as is currently state-of-the-art. The engine is anything but weak, ABS and traction control regulate safely and inconspicuously and the handling is extremely fun-oriented, partly because of the relatively narrow tyres. And all this at a price that is only undercut by a few competitors in the league of big touring enduros. Sad as it may be, the two 1190 Adventures and, above all, the flagship 1290 Super Adventure, have soared in price to very high levels. And that is precisely why the KTM 1050 Adventure is perhaps the most coherent of the four Adventure models.

Experienced motorcyclists know exactly: 180 hp sounds good, but more than 100 hp has never been necessary for a typical Sunday ride. I don't think I need to recommend the Supermoto R to press riders. In these circles, it has long been considered the fastest motorbike on the market.
