KTM 1290 Super Adventure S Review First Ride
- 7 years ago
Take a look at what we made of 2017's new KTM 1290 Super Adventure S in our video review, along with full specs, prices and much more.
It's got everything: lean-angle-sensitive traction control, riding modes, cornering ABS, semi-active suspension and an up/down quick-shifter.
It’s got ‘motor slip regulation’ to prevent the rear locking after downshifts. It’s got hill-start assist to stop you rolling backward.
It’s got off-road traction control and ABS modes (because KTM tells us it still has off-road potential despite being the road-biased variant).
It’s got cruise control, tyre pressure monitoring, a new colour TFT dash and a pocket and USB charger for your phone. That’s where I put the key for the keyless ignition during the test ride, so I just had to press a button to go.
The position of the bars, footrests, gear lever and dash are all adjustable.
It’s got a plutonium-powered nuclear fission reactor.
And only one of those things is made up.
It’s got e-v-e-r-y-thing. It would be much quicker to list what it hasn't got, a list which I think might amount to launch control. And it doesn’t need that.
