KTM 1290 Super Adventure S 2021

Em suma, a KTM 1290 Super Adventure S, com capacidade para longas distâncias, foi concebida para uma viagem a dois, em que o condutor quase nunca tem de pensar para onde vai. Gosta de secções de autoestrada, passagens rápidas em estradas rurais ou passagens sinuosas de montanha nas curvas mais apertadas, tanto como de estradas não pavimentadas com a ocasional secção de gravilha áspera, onde é principalmente o condutor ou a sua rotina que decidem até onde podem ir. A maneabilidade, que foi melhorada em comparação com a antecessora devido ao depósito mais baixo (e, portanto, ao centro de gravidade), também marca pontos aqui. O chassis eletrónico lida perfeitamente com as superfícies variáveis de uma viagem e transmite sempre transparência, a soberania do motor em todas as situações.
