KTM 1290 Super Adventure R 2019
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.
KTM 1290 Super Adventure S 2023
The KTM 1290 Super Adventure S is anything but old-fashioned. The Euro5 engine continues to shine incredibly with its 160 hp and the awesome torque of 138 Newton metres. The refined electronics ensure an even smoother ride, which, thanks to the wonderfully agile handling, results in a lot of fun when cornering. But the new SASi also has a lot to offer comfort freaks and all those who value the touring qualities of this type of motorbike. A nice, standard feature is the adaptive cruise control ACC, which independently keeps the distance to the vehicle in front - and works really well. In any case, the Quickshifter+ or the all-inclusive TechPack is recommended - at this basic price, the 1300 euro surcharge is not that much of a burden.
