KTM 1290 SUPER ADVENTURE R 2024

13 tripsExcellent 5/5

Meet the KTM 1290 Super Adventure R — a full-size adventure bike with serious off-road capability and absolutely no shortage of power.

At the heart of the 1290 is KTM’s 1301cc LC8 V-twin, delivering massive torque with a surprisingly smooth and controllable power delivery. It’s equally happy eating up highway miles, carving mountain roads, or heading down rough forest roads when the pavement ends.

Despite its size, the 1290 carries its fuel low in the chassis, giving it much better balance than you’d expect from a large adventure motorcycle. The WP XPLOR suspension is plush and capable, the riding position is comfortable for long days, and cruise control makes highway travel effortless.

This is a premium adventure machine loaded with rider technology including lean-sensitive traction control, cornering ABS, multiple ride modes, tire-pressure monitoring, a full-color TFT display, keyless ignition and tubeless spoked wheels.

If you want a comfortable long-distance ADV bike that can carry luggage, cover serious miles, and still put a huge grin on your face every time you roll into the throttle, the 1290 Super Adventure R delivers.

Experienced riders strongly recommended — this bike is powerful, tall, and built for riders comfortable handling a large adventure motorcycle.
