1290 Super Adventure R 2019 KTM Motorcycle – Features and Specs
Engine and Exhaust
Based on the 1301 cc V-type twin-cylinder engine of KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R (aka “The Beast”), 1290 Super Adventure R 2019 KTM motorcycle is Alpha in the herd. Just aim at the destination, turn the throttle, and be excited by its immense power.
The 1301 cc V-twin engine adds a bit of fun to the full-adventure journey. It has truck torque from start to finish and hardly needs to rush downshifts. With 160 hp of horsepower and 140 Nm of torque, the engine provides enough grunts available. It is all so that you can eat a few kilometers of dirt marks in a blink of an eye. The unique combination of the highest quality components, combined with a fully developed and reliable engine, enables exceptionally long maintenance intervals of 15,000 km. That was a lot of adventure.
Chassis
Floating on a 220-mm fully adjustable WP suspension, traversing the terrain of Saki Terrain, its front is a 21-inch wire wheel, and the rear is 18 inches. Knowing KTM’s iconic tubular trellis, steel anti-collision bar and high-strength, die-cast, open-hole rear rocker arm, you can navigate with confidence.
The chromium-molybdenum steel grid is located in the center of the bike’s excellent, solid chassis. The laser cutting and robot welding undergo a superb surface finish, weighing only 9.8 kg. It keeps the total weight of unoiled at a surprisingly low 217 kg: all muscles, no fat.
Strict off-road adventures require core equipment, so we installed our patented KTM 1290 SUPER ADVENTURE R internally, tubeless, wire wheels. Front-wheel of 21 inches is used while the 18 inches of the bike is used in the rear. They combine all the advantages of tubeless tires (easy to assemble and reduce weight due to the lack of inner tubes) and the stability and robustness of the wire wheels. This setting makes SUPER ADVENTURE R’s rims more resilient than all competitors’ cast spoke rims.
Suspension
The front suspension system is equipped with a sturdy 48 mm of the inverted fork including additional rigid springs, while the new PDS shock absorber produces magic at the rear. All made of WP, fully adjustable, and willing to accept severe beatings. The suspension system comprises 220 mm on both front and back. 2019 1290 KTM Super Adventure R is not only lightweight, but it is also sturdy and reliable. It caused the low fuel consumption. It features a 23-liter fuel tank, and the maintenance interval of 15,000 km.
The bike has accurate and powerful brakes, just like what you expect from a set of BREMBO brakes. You will find two discs on the front side with a diameter of 320 mm. These are mounted radially, plus four pistons fixed calipers. At the rear, a large-size 267 mm of diameter disc provides the extra stopping force. In case of an emergency, all-new Bosch’s two-channel 9M + ABS can save your time.
Ergonomics and Comfort
Since the bike has many movable parts, the 1290 Super Adventure R 2019 KTM motorcycle can be adjusted to suit any rider’s preferences and riding conditions. There are two handlebar clamping positions: the stock is 10 mm forward or backward. The motorcycle provides greater freedom of movement, more reliable control, and unparalleled comfort, which means passenger gets a more satisfying adventure.
Two footpeg positions: spare or front and rear 10 mm (diagonal) give a choice to riders to adjust the comfort level just like his height and preferences. It has a significant impact on long-distance adventure travel. When riding long distances, the foremost thing is to give comfort to you and your passengers.
The “R” model comes with a shorter windshield. Therefore, even if the handlebar moves a lot in the terrain of Saki Terrain, the windscreen will not hit the rider helmet. Thanks to the new easy-to-operate clamping mechanism, its height can be changed as soon as possible. In the sleek body of the 1290 SUPER ADVENTURE R, the heritage of many rally victories is combined with the latest technology, original power, and excellent ergonomics.
Additional Features
The convenient compartment ensures that the smartphone is safe on the go. With its integrated USB socket, it can also be kept charged. The free incoming call and audio feature link the phone to the bike via Bluetooth.
Of course, 1290 Super Adventure R 2019 KTM motorcycle has a powerful motor, but it can be controlled entirely by smoothly running software and electronic equipment packages. MTC (KTM’s tilt-angle sensitive traction control system-motorcycle traction control), cornering ABS, and riding modes provide support for your riding-and be gentle and almost invisible.
Electronic walkers provide riders with more control, performance, and entertainment in a broader range of situations. The latest ABS and MTC (motorcycle traction control) technologies are designed to enhance your riding experience. Different riding modes are tailor-made, and the rider assist function can be easily adjusted to adapt to various riding conditions. The simple adjustability of these functions makes the powerful V-twin’s innovative technology and equipment play its most significant role on a broader range.
KTM comprehends that its clients like to travel and alter machines, which is the reason the KTM PowerParts arrangement has an assortment of embellishments, gear, and even items that help associate bikes and riders.
