KTM 1290 Super Adventure R 2022

KTM 1290 Super Adventure R 2022

The R variant of the 1290 Super Adventure is one of the most luxurious options for long tours that don't end on paved roads. Plenty of power is available at all times and the rally look immediately evokes wanderlust. The WP suspension can cope with almost any conceivable surface, but it has to be adjusted manually and you also have to do without the distance cruise control.

Very sporty, but also cultivated V2 power plant

extremely playful handling despite high weight

driving-friendly seating position

good brakes including cornering ABS

comprehensive electronics package

clear, well-structured instruments with huge 7-inch display.

Gearshift assistant at extra cost

higher price than for the S despite fewer features

The bottom line is that the ES 700 is mainly thrilling when the attack is on and the tap is cocked over whatever surface. The resistant chassis with plenty of reserves, combined with the rev-happy engine and low weight, is really fun in rally mode. Loosely swung through the terrain, however, it lacks residual comfort and also feedback. Thanks to the stable chassis, however, it can also handle motorway stages at 140 km/h or accelerate at an angle. The bottom line is that the Gas Gas ES 700 is extremely versatile, with some sacrifices in comfort. For those interested in the ES 700, the question is clear: are you tough enough or not?

low total weight

well controllable power delivery

very low vibration for a 1-cylinder

good choice for difficult terrain

stable even on asphalt and at high speeds

plenty of freedom of movement in the saddle enables active riding

Comprehensive electronics package for an enduro

very puristic instrumentation

Chassis seems a bit wooden, does not give the best feedback from the tyres

Active ergonomics demand the rider's fitness on long passages
