KTM 1290 Super Adventure 2016 - 2022. The KTM 1290 Super Adventure is an adventure touring motorcycle manufactured by KTM since 2015, when it replaced the KTM 1190 Adventure. The bike debuted in The KTM 1290 Super Adventure R has gained a reputation for having excellent dirt manners while also boasting a sizeable ability to carve up the blacktop, and in 2021 it received significant updates. So significant in fact that KTM is claiming that 90 percent of components are new or revised. And some of them, such as adaptive cruise control Vergleichstest mit den beiden Reiseenduros.

One can safely go from the 21/18" on the SAR to a 19/17" without upsetting geometry/trail. Just like going from 19" ti 17" on the SAS. But going from 21" to 17" on the SAR will need offset yokes or fork bottom end. KTM 1190 Adventure: 92.2 lb-ft/124.8 Nm @ 7500 rpm KTM 1290 Super Adventure S: 101.7 lb-ft/138 Nm @ 6500 rpm So, even if the new 1290 is a bigger and more powerful motorcycle, it’s also more manageable in terms of power and delivery—similar to its “German cousin” (the BMW GS1250 delivers 143 Nm @ 6250 rpm) I get to head back in the garage with @2WR as he installs the heated ergo KTM PowerParts seat on my 2020 KTM 1290 Super Adventure R. After install I hit the V-Twins I have owned. Suzuki DL-1000, Honda RC51, KTM 990, SMR, and KTM 1290 Superduke R. I was a little disappointed with the KTM 990 engine. It was much newer than my RC51 but the RC51 was a stronger motor. Not so with the 1290. A stock 1290 is a monster and with a Power Commander, a full exhaust, and a custom dyno tune even crazier. The Black Dog KTM 1290 is set up with a mixture of rubber, utilizing the Continental TKC80 in the front and a Heidenau K60 Scout in the rear. This is a popular combination among seasoned Adventure Riders, giving the confidence of a true-knobby tire in the front with the longer wear and still-impressive grip of the Heidenau in the rear. Well, apparently KTM got the message, because for 2017 the Austrian dirtbike giant has released a new, relatively stripped-down 1090 Adventure R model to replace the 1190 Adventure R and create a little more separation from their new flagship 1290 Super Adventure R. Perhaps most tantalizing is the 1090 Adventure R’s more affordable MSRP of xEk8.
