The 2023 KTM 1290 Super Adventure R gets a minor update for 2023, focusing on refining the Austrian brand’s flagship adventure bike.

The KTM 1290 Super Adventure R gets minor update similar to the 2023 Super Adventure S.

The “R” nomenclature represents the most ‘off-road’ capable variant of the brand’s big-bore adventure bike, designed to overcome the most extreme terrains.

Coming in new for 2023 is a new 6D lean angle sensor from Bosch, a new WP XPLOR suspension which now features a split cartridge technology in the front fork.

Additionally, the 2023 1290 Super Adventure R gets Bridgestone AX41 tires as standard and a new ‘Turn-By-Turn’ navigation system previously introduced on the 2023 Super Adventure S.

However, the most visible update is the new colour scheme, with the 2023 KTM 1290 Super Adventure R donning a more standout white paint job.

Mechanically, the 2023 KTM 1290 Super Adventure R features the tried and tested LC8 V-Twin engine that makes 160hp and 138Nm.

Other key features include:

customisable ABS settings
‘Race On’ remote key system

LED lights

KTM Unveils 2021 1290 Super Adventure R – 160HP, 138Nm!

KTM has dropped the cover on the new 1290 Super Adventure R with the enduro focused motorcycle that now meets Euro 5 standards and a wide range of upgrades.

According to KTM, the 1290 Super Adventure R was built solely by focusing on the ability to move on the most inaccessible terrain in a simple and intuitive way.

The redesigned 23L fuel tank improves agility and provides a lower centre of gravity and an improved riding feel in all conditions.

KTM also applies changes to the steering head which was moved back by 15mm, and the engine was rotated forward by 2°, and the die-cast open-lattice swingarm was lengthened.

The handling and comfort also improved with a renewed WP XPLOR 48mm suspension at the front that guarantees a travel of 220 mm and WP PDS fully adjustable shock at the rear.

The 1290 Super Adventure R now packs with advanced electronic packages as standard, consist of a new six-axis inertial platform, Traction Control, stability control, ASB off-road, four riding modes (RAIN, STREET, SPORT and OFFROAD), easily accessed via a 7″ TFT display.

The motorcycle is powered by a Euro 5 approved KTM LC8 V-Twin engine that produces 160 hp at 9,000rpm and 138 Nm of torque at 6,500rpm.

For 2021, the model features two separate radiators; instead of the single unit on the previous model. Meanwhile, the redesigned air ducts help reduce the amount of hot air hitting the rider’s legs.

Thanks to the renewed air filter box, riders can easily access the air filter by simply removing four screws.

The all-new KTM 1290 Super Adventure R is available at EUR19,850 (RM97,413).
