KTM 1290 Super Adventure R–Fastest Off-Road Travel Enduro, Fullstop.

This makes for a mile-munching omnivore, ready to carve its name into any terrain – the tougher, the better. It is our most extreme Adventure ever, full stop. Full throttle.

The KTM 1090 Adventure R stares down anything in its path. Bespoke WP suspension, off-road wheels and a tough yet fuel-efficient engine are ready to rumble. Decades of rally raid victories roar within. As shrewd as it is chiseled, this bike uses the same state-of-the-art technology as the 1290 Super Adventure R. The result? 125 hp (92 kW) that are refined as can be, but rude as you please. Roads may end, but the fun will not. The world is yours–devour it.
KTM 1290 Super Adventure S–Groundbreaker
Whack the throttle wide open in the middle of a nasty corner. Brake hard while fully leaned over. No harm is done–just grin and rocket on. Even when you’re bending the laws of physics, KTM’s combination of 160 hp, 140 Nm (103 lb.-ft.) of torque and a mere 238 kg (523.6 lbs.) is kept in check by the most advanced electronics in the world of motorcycling. All you have to do is focus on the road ahead–and hold on tight. But the 1290 Super Adventure S offers buttery smooth cruising as well, if that’s what you really want…

The featherweight chassis and well-balanced suspension team up with prize-winning Metzeler Tourance Next tires to take you wherever you dare, whenever you want.
