Description

Open the gas fully in the middle of any curve. Brake fully even with the bike fully inclined. Nothing will happen, just smile and shoot off. Even when you are defying the laws of physics, the combination of the 160 hp KTM and 140 Nm torque with just 238 kg of weight remains under control thanks to the most advanced electronics in the motorcycle world. All you need to do is focus on the road ahead, and hold on tight. But the KTM 1290 SUPER ADVENTURE S is capable of giving you a smooth ride like silk, if this is what you really want …

Based on the 1,301 cc V-Twin of the KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R, aka “The Beast”, the KTM 1290 SUPER ADVENTURE S is clearly the alpha male in its segment.

Stability and control are fundamental aspects of driving pleasure. With its ultralight multi-tube chassis, robust cast iron swingarm with exposed reinforcing ribs and the highest quality WP Suspension components, the KTM 1290 SUPER ADVENTURE S will leave a perennial smile on your face. Focused on asphalt lovers, the 1290 S is equipped with 19 ”wheels at the front and 17” at the rear. Quality tires and proper suspension travel offer cornering behavior at the highest level, while world-leading Brembo signature brake equipment and assistance systems (MSC with MTC and Tilt-Sensitive C-ABS) Developed together with Bosch, they complete the set. Safe. Fun Quick. On any terrain.

At KTM, individualists are welcome. The ergonomics of the motorcycle can be adjusted to the tastes of each rider, whatever their size: Two seating positions (860 mm or 875 mm), two handlebar mounting positions: horizontal +/- 10 mm, two footrest positions : 10 mm up and down (diagonally), levers with 5 reach adjustment points.

The 1290 SUPER ADVENTURE S has been conceived to offer you unrivaled performance, excellent ergonomics and many details that will help you continue even when the asphalt is finished.

The combination of pure power with total control and the character of a “beast” is possible thanks to the smooth operation of the software and the electronics. MTC, ABS in Curves and driving modes assist you in the pilot smoothly and almost imperceptibly. The only intervention you are going to notice is a smile on your face.

KTM knows that its customers like to modify their motorcycles and travel with them, for this reason, the PowerParts range includes a wide variety of accessories and luggage options throughout its range of current and previous Street motorcycles. All PowerParts parts have been developed jointly with the bikes they are dedicated to, which means that KTM users will enjoy parts perfectly adapted to their bike, providing this unique “factory feel” from the moment they leave from the store with them.
