2024 KTM 1290 Super Adventure R
SEEK UNCHARTED TERRITORYFrom the Skeleton Coast to the Himalayas, the KTM 1290 SUPER ADVENTURE R is engineered to cross the wildest, most challenging terrain with unmatched ability and class-leading performance. Not only has it proven itself to be without peers in the large-capacity extreme adventure segment, but it also remains the ultimate READY TO RACE choice in travel machines for hardened cross-country nomads.
Features may include:
ENGINE & EXHAUST- Engine
With a sledgehammer hit of power and 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. Its greener too, and will deliver 15,000 km service intervals and low fuel consumption, trip after trip, mile after mile.
- Transmission
Helping the KTM 1290 SUPER ADVENTURE R shift - in more ways than one - is a 6-speed PANKL transmission with a new, lighter aluminum shifting drum with optimized tracks for faster, smoother gear changes. Shifting forks have also been coated in copper to reduce wear and tear. This also helps the Quickshifter+ engage quicker for ultra-fast, slick gear changes.
CHASSIS- Frame
A new, reworked, and lightweight, chrome-molybdenum stainless steel trellis frame featuring laser-cut tubes, combines with forged elements for an ultra-strong component on the KTM 1290 SUPER ADVENTURE R. The steering head 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.
- Swingarm
Extended by 15 mm to optimize tracking stability in conjunction with the shorter frame, the die-cast, open-lattice swingarm retained it's lightweight and pin-point manufacturing to provide stiffness and uncompromised control when hitting the dirt.
ERGONOMICS & COMFORT- Handlebar
Wide, adjustable, and ready for long hours in the saddle, the high-strength tapered aluminum handlebars are designed to provide riders with greater control, and uncompromised comfort. Newly developed and robust handguards have also been designed for optimal aerodynamic behavior when it comes to high-speed stability.
- Illuminated Menu Switch
Illuminated switches don't only look good, but make sense when you're out in low light conditions and need to locate the important buttons in the blink of an eye.
BODYWORK & GRAPHICS- LED headlight
Turning night into day, the LED headlight on the KTM 1290 SUPER ADVENTURE R has been designed to light the way on any adventure. Flanked by cornering and day time running lights. This results in a clean, KTM-distinctive look which provides impeccable illumination with a wide beam pattern to light up the road ahead.
SOFTWARE & ELECTRONICS- Dashboard
Taking charge at the helm is a scratch-resistant 7-inch TFT display. Unmatched in terms of graphics and readability, adventurers can access information on the fly, quickly and easily without navigating complex menus. This comes thanks to a 6-way switch cube on the handlebar and the quick select and favorites buttons. Connectivity is also taken care of by way of KTMconnect, which connects via Bluetooth for Turn-by-Turn+ navigation, music, and even answering calls. Still catching glare? The TFT screen is tilt-angle adjustable.
