KTM 1290 Super Adventure S 2018

The KTM 1290 Super Adventure S is more than a sporty touring enduro - it is a sports machine that can also go on tours. The powerful 160 hp engine is not only extremely powerful, it is also very easy to operate and makes you want to ride sportily. The many electronic assistance systems such as traction control, semi-active chassis, various modes and cornering ABS also contribute to making you feel right at home on the 1290 Super Adventure S. Finally, the huge TFT display and other gadgets such as the Race-on system or My Ride are also quite convincing.

Not only in the rain do you enjoy the virtues; the great seating position and the high riding comfort - apart from the vibrations. But here the new R became a little quieter, the engineers worked meticulously on the crankshaft and the RC8 R now tingles much less in the hands.

Optimal chassis

great braking

improved shiftability

positive ergonomics

powerful engine

direct and agile.

Brake dosing

poor splash protection on rear wheel

poor stability during setup.
