It is a versatile bike that is suitable for long-distance touring and off-road adventures. The Super Adventure S is powered by a 1,301 cc V-twin engine that produces 160 horsepower and 103 pound-feet of torque. It features a high-strength chromium-molybdenum steel trellis frame, a long-travel suspension, and large disc brakes for excellent handling and stability.
The bike also comes equipped with a number of advanced electronics, including traction control, cornering ABS, and a stability control system. Overall, the KTM 1290 Super Adventure S is a rugged and capable motorcycle that is well-suited to a wide range of riding conditions.
The Austrian company's "ultra-travel" model for 2023 is not significantly different from its predecessor.
Let us start with the basics, as the engine remains the LC8 with 160 horsepower and 138Nm of torque, always in compliance with Euro5 regulations and its 15,000-kilometer service interval.
As part of the 2021 redesign, a lighter chrome-molybdenum frame has been introduced for sharper cornering behavior, and the steering shaft has been repositioned by 15 millimeters.
For the same purpose, WP semi-active suspensions are also as effective as the scissor in the name of stability.
Electronics-wise, there are no changes to the already high-tech package, which includes a radar, Bosch 6-axis inertial sensor, 7" TFT instead of multi-instrument, and so on.
Among the 2023 changes are orange/black coloring or grayscale options as well as navigation views with more options and Turn-by-Turn+ directions.
