Pros and Cons in comparison

KTM 1290 Super Adventure S 2024

The KTM 1290 Super Adventure S is anything but old hat. The Euro5 engine still shines incredibly with its 160 Horsepower and an impressive 138 Newton metres of torque. The refined electronics ensure an even smoother ride, which results in a lot of fun when attacking the twisties thanks to the wonderfully agile handling. But the new SA S also has a lot to offer comfort freaks and all those who value the travelling qualities of this type of motorbike. A nice standard feature is the adaptive cruise control ACC, which independently maintains the distance to the vehicle in front - and works really well. In any case, the Quickshifter+ or the all-encompassing TechPack is recommended - at the basic price, the extra 1000 euros are no longer so significant.

Very sporty, but also cultivated V2 power plant

extremely playful handling despite its height

comfortable, active riding position

good brakes including cornering ABS

extensive electronics package

adaptive cruise control ACC

clear, well-structured dashboard with huge 7 inch display

Quickshifter and other features at extra cost

unconventional look

tight bench seat

KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2023

The KTM 1290 Super Duke R retains its brute character for 2022 if you take the beast by the horns. But the Hyper Naked from Mattighofen is also convincing in everyday use and presents itself as a mature all-round companion. Small details could use a little love, but nothing that spoils the positive overall impression of the 1290 Super Duke R.

brutal performance

accessible handling

fully adjustable and stable chassis

high quality standard tyres

comfortable seating position

acceptable fuel consumption.

Full equipment wants to be paid for

fiddly indicator operation
