1290 Super Adventure S 2024 KTM 1290 Super Adventure STHE WORLD JUST GOT SMALLERFor 2024, the KTM 1290 SUPER ADVENTURE S sets the benchmark for sporty Adventure travel. Not only does it continue to deliver class-leading technology like Adaptive Cruise Control and Semi-active Suspension to the street, but it also brings real-world usability to the dirt. Rider-focused ergonomics exist to make short work of long distances. The KTM 1290 SUPER ADVENTURE S is smart, steady, and devastatingly quick.Features may include:ENGINE & EXHAUSTEngineWith 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.TransmissionHelping the KTM 1290 SUPER ADVENTURE S 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.CHASSISFrameA 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 S. 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. A newly designed, lightweight, and high-strength aluminum side stand completes the package.SwingarmExtended by 15 mm to optimize tracking stability in conjunction with the shorter frame, the die-cast, open-lattice swingarm retained it lightweight and pin-point manufacturing to provide stiffness and uncompromised control when out on the road.ERGONOMICS & COMFORTHandlebarWide, 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 & GRAPHICSLED HeadlightTurning night into day, the new cornering integrated LED headlight has been designed to integrate the front Radar Sensor on the KTM 1290 SUPER ADVENTURE S, 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 & ELECTRONICSDashboardTaking charge at the helm is an all-new scratch-resistant 7-inch TFT display. Unmatched in terms of graphics and readability, adventurers can access information and make adjustments to the bike's semi-active suspension on the fly, quickly and easily without navigating complex menus. This comes thanks to a 6-way switch cube on the handlebar. Connectivity is also taken care of by way of KTMconnect, which connects via Bluetooth for TURN-BY-TURN Plus navigation, playing music, and even answering incoming calls. Still catching glare? The TFT screen is tilt-angle adjustable.
