KTM 1290 Super Adventure S

ENGINE
With a sledgehammer hit of 160 hp and a massive 138 Nm of earth-twisting torque, the proven V-twin LC8 engine once again takes the accolades as the most compact, lightest and best performing engine in the segment. It's greener too, meeting all EURO5 regulations and will deliver 15,000 km service intervals and low fuel consumption, trip after trip, mile after mile.

SUSPENSION
There's no modest way to say this, but - the KTM 1290 Super Adventure S is fitted with the most advanced suspension system on the market. Featuring a new generation of innovative WP Semi-Active Suspension Technology (SAT) with electronically controlled magnet valves for variable damping, providing a wide range of adjustability for maximum comfort and safety. Best yet, all the settings and adjustments to the suspension can be made via the dashboard and are indicated on the TFT dash. In addition,

Where you'll be spending most of your time, the new seat on the KTM 1290 Super Adventure S features separate seat for rider and passenger, with the former being adjustable by 20mm, from 849 mm to 869 mm.

KTM offer a seat to suit every bum with over 10 different seat options including low and heated options.

FUEL TANK
A completely redesigned 23 litre, 3-part fuel tank. This is made up of two large fuel cells on each side of the frame, with an upper, central vessel that supplies fuel to the lateral units. The fuel cap is also new and electronically controlled.

The 1290 Super Adventure S features revolutionary radar-based Adaptive Cruise Control. To appreciate the magic of the ACC, you need to consider the ideal roads may lie hours away. With highways in between, ACC will let you breeze through the transit keeping you ready to strike when you get the chance. ACC "locks on" to a preceding vehicle, automatically adjusting speed and maintaining a safe following distance at all times. This results in more relaxed highway blasting when you need to cover gro

DASHBOARD
Taking charge at the helm is an all-new scratch-resistant 7-inch TFT display. Unmatched in terms of graphics and readability, adventurers can access information and make adjustments to the bike's semi-active suspension on the fly, quickly and easily without navigating complex menus. This comes thanks to a 6-way switch cube handlebar. Connectivity is also taken care of by the way of KTMConnect, which connects via Bluetooth for TURN-BY-TURN Plus navigation, playing music and even answering incomin

A new, reworked and lightweight chrome-molydbenum stainless steel trellis frame featuring laser-cut tubes, combines with forged elements for an ultra-strong component on the KTM 1290 Super Adventure S. The steering heas has been moved 15 mm rearwards, to shorten the overall frame for improved cornering behavior, while the front engine mount has been rotated forward by 2 degrees to aid in hard acceleration, keeping the front end firmly planted on the ground. A newly designed, lightwieght and high

LED HEADLIGHT
Turning night into day, the new cornering integrated LED headlight has been designed to integrate the front Radar Sensor on the KTM 1290 Super Adventure S, flanked by cornering and day time running lights. This results in a clean, KTM-distinctive look which provides impeccable illuminiation with a wide beam pattern to light up to road ahead.
