KTM 1290 Super Adventure R | Road & Off-Road Long-Term Test

KTM upped the ante in the liter-plus adventure bike class when they implemented sweeping changes to improve their flagship model. Notable updates include a shorter frame and lengthened swingarm that moves the rider forward over the bars for improved feel and control, while a redesigned fuel tank carries weight lower on the bike for a lower center of gravity. The long-travel (8.7” stroke), fully-adjustable WP XPLOR suspension was also reworked with all-new settings to improve performance off-road. Plus it got a lower seat height, new rider mode customization options, a smoother gearbox, new LED lighting and TFT display, improved heat dissipation, and more.

Is it even more dominant in the dirt? Is it a comfortable touring bike for longer journeys? Even two up? Is 160 horsepower a bad idea off-road? In this video, we answer all your burning questions and more on this beast of an adventure bike after nearly a year of testing, covering thousands of miles, putting it through its paces in sand, technical single track, whoops, hill climbs, and more. Plus we get it leaned over in the twisties and clock thousands miles on the super slab to explore the long-haul comfort and versatility of the machine.
