KTM 990 Supermoto T 2011

There are a few parts suitable for touring and an ABS on the KTM, but the fun is in every cell. You can't describe it like the shape of a headlight mask or the technical structure of an ABS system. It will probably remain a mystery forever how KTM builds such motorbikes and we will never find out why they are so much fun.

KTM 1290 Super Adventure R 2018

KTM 1290 Super Adventure R 2018

The 1290 Super Adventure R is supposed to be the new off-road flagship of the KTM Adventure range - and it is! It's amazing how easy it is to move 240 kilos off-road with a full tank. The off-road mode is also largely convincing. On the other hand, as on the 1290 Super Adventure S, the full 160 hp and 140 Newton metres of torque as well as all comfort features (apart from the electronically adjustable suspension) are available on the R version: Four performance modes (Sport, Street, Rain and Offroad), cornering ABS, traction control, cruise control, keyless race-on system and the mobile phone management "My Ride". This means that the KTM 1290 Super Adventure R actually combines four motorbikes in one - and thus justifies the proud price.
