KTM 1390 Super Adventure S EVO 2025

With the 1390 Adventure S EVO, KTM shows what is technically possible, packing new and improved comfort features such as a wonderfully functioning automatic transmission, adaptive cruise control or semi-active suspension into a bike that is extremely mature after ten model years and is certainly one of the sportiest touring enduros. Whether relaxed when touring, even as a couple, or with a knife in your teeth on the way to the king of the mountain passes - the SAS is proof on the move that comfort and sport are not mutually exclusive.

Either it was a stroke of luck or the best developers were at work - handlebars, geometry, seat, knee angle, footrests - it just fits really well for the majority of Central Europeans. All in all, there is still no motorbike that can kill the GS.

Optimal wind protection

comfortable seat

good posture

positive ergonomics

weather robust

quiet chassis.

Seat a little too low.
