KTM 1290 Super Adventure S 2021

KTM 1290 Super Adventure S 2021

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.

With the 1390 Adventure S EVO, KTM demonstrates what is technically possible, incorporating new and improved comfort features – such as a wonderfully smooth-running automatic gearbox, adaptive cruise control and semi-active suspension into a bike that, after ten model years, is extremely well-developed and undoubtedly ranks among the sportiest touring enduro bikes. Whether you’re out for a relaxed ride, even with a passenger, or racing with a knife between your teeth on your way to the ‘King of the Pass’ – the SAS is living proof that comfort and sportiness are not mutually exclusive.
