2015 KTM 1290 Super Adventure, 2015 KTM 1290 Super Adventure THE NEW BENCHMARK IN THE TRAVEL ENDURO The 1290 KTM Super Adventure sets a new benchmark in the travel enduro segment with a class-leading equipment specification that leaves other travel enduros playing catch-up. The Super Adventure s uncompromisingly powerful KTM engine is matched by safety and electronics packages that are streets ahead of the competition, which means that sports riding meshes seamlessly with a versatile travel enduro style, making the Super Adventure the perfect ride for any journey. Features May Include: ENGINE Based on the most powerful travel enduro engine to date, the 1190, combined with 1301cc displacement of The Beast 1290 Super Duke R, this engine clearly sets a new benchmark in all categories: a powerful punch for fully-loaded tours, torque right from the bottom end, reducing gear shifting, easily controllable for offroad use and 160 hp peak power for when the chips are down. CYLINDER HEADS An absolutely key element in the outstanding performance and smooth response of the 1301 cc 75° V-twin are the unit s state-of-the-art four-valve cylinder heads. These combine twin plug ignition, flow-optimised ports and a slick, low-friction valve train with cams from each cylinder s twin overhead camshafts driving DLC-coated cam followers.

Although they have grown in diameter by three millimetres compared with those of the 1190 Adventure, the pistons on the Super Adventure are a whole 47 grams lighter. GEARBOX The well-spaced gear ratios of the 1290 Super Adventure feature a longer sixth overdrive gear. This saves fuel and adds comfort for normal road cruising or fast mile-munching on the motorway.

FRAME The tubular space frame is made from chrome-molybdenum stainless steel. The frame is the key to the Super Adventure s excellent chassis geometry, is extremely rugged and yet weighs only 9.8 kg, in line with the consistent lightweight construction that contributes to the low overall weight of just 229 kg (ready to ride, without fuel) and 249 kg fully fuelled. ERGONOMICS Not only are the top-notch ergonomics of the 1290 Super Adventure suitable for all riding situations from comfortable outings - alone or two-up - to lively acceleration on asphalt and
