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.

Powerful, refined engine

disengageable ABS

adjustable traction control

agile handling

adjustable ergonomics

prestigious looks similar to the big sisters

height-adjustable windshield

low weight

comparatively affordable price.

Rev limiter kicks in at 8500 revs

chassis a little too soft for off-road use
