KTM 1290 SUPER ADVENTURE S 2022

According To KTM Motorcycles

Covering ground quickly and effortlessly is what the KTM 1290 SUPER ADVENTURE S is made for. An Adventure-specced V-Twin with 160 hp & 138 Nm means that entire cross-country journeys are dispatched easily, while Adaptive Cruise Control and Semi-active Suspension together with reworked rider-focussed ergonomics and technology bring agility and long distance comfort to an entirely new level. It’s a bold claim, but we’ll make it – the KTM 1290 SUPER ADVENTURE S is the new benchmark.

With a sledgehammer hit of 160ho 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 15,000km service intervals and low fuel consumption trip and trip, mile after mile.

A new reworked and lightweight, chrome molybdenum stainless stell trellis frame featuring laser cut tubes, combines with forged elements for an ultra strong component on the KTM 1290 SUPER ADVENTURE S. The steering head has been moved 15mm rearwards, to shorten the overall frame for improved cornering behaviour, 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, lightweight and high strength aluminium side stand completes the package.
