KTM 1290 Super Adventure R 2021

A Super Adventure R apresentou-se como uma excelente moto de aventura durante o teste intensivo nos Pirinéus. Ofereceu uma óptima combinação de conforto para longas distâncias e capacidade para todo-o-terreno. Não encontrará esta combinação com esta consistência em nenhuma outra mota. Acima de tudo, o chassis é robusto e apresentou-se da melhor forma em terrenos difíceis. É claro que apenas um número muito reduzido de condutores irá efetivamente conduzir este monstro de forma adequada - mas em terrenos difíceis, "ter" sempre foi melhor do que "precisar".
KTM 1290 Super Adventure 2015

A 1290 Super Adventure é corretamente apresentada pela KTM como um porta-estandarte da aventura. Equipada com eletrónica sofisticada e quase tudo o que se pode precisar numa grande enduro de turismo, recomenda-se como esperado para o longo prazo. No entanto, o que não se vê imediatamente pela sua aparência volumosa é que a Super Adventure, tal como as suas irmãs 1190, é uma máquina incrivelmente divertida. Especialmente em curvas apertadas, é uma diversão inacreditável. A eletrónica controla a tração, o chassis e a gestão do motor de forma tão discreta que se pode concentrar totalmente e, acima de tudo, com segurança, na aceleração. Nas rectas intermédias, os 160 cv de potência asseguram que a 1290 Super Adventure também pode cumprir os requisitos desportivos e, portanto, dificilmente é ultrapassada em termos de universalidade.
