KTM Adventure family looks set to undergo radical changes the next day.
Four different Adventure models, described as 2024 models, have been photographed by Austrian and German press.
We've also seen in Duke spy shots that the 1290 family will change drastically design-wise.
In one of the three 1290 implementations seen in images, the front retains the twin triangular headlamps in a revamped arrangement in place of the signature headlamps.
We also notice on all the test bikes caught on camera that the fuel tank is repositioned low on either side of the engine, like a 790/890 Adventure. All the bikes in these photos have protrusions on the sides of the engine, which suggests KTM liked ergonomics.
The Austrian magazine 1000PS introduces us to the 990 Adventure, which will probably overdisplace the 890 - and will also be used in the Duke and RC road bikes.
Lastly, we have three versions with the big LC8 at 1290, where no dramatic changes to the engine are expected, but more changes to appearance and equipment.
A 3-spoke wheel and a slightly different look are shown in the Austrian magazine's pictures of the 1290 Adventure.
It's hard to speculate without any other information, but a few elements are obvious, such as the lowered fuel tank and the front radar on all three 1290 models.
There will be a lot of news at KTM in 2024, especially if we welcome brand new Adventure, Duke and RC models.
Similar movements have already been seen for the 390 Adventure and the new 390 Enduro.
