New 2022 KTM 1290 SUPER ADVENTURE R Sport Touring Motorcycle

***NOW ACCEPTING DEPOSITS

2022 KTM 1290 SUPER ADVENTURE R, Some of the changes we’ve seen previously on the 790/890 Adventure models are now being applied to the Super Adventure like the low-slung fuel tanks, fully-customizable rider settings in Rally Mode, and an easier-to-access air filter. Other updates include a shorter frame with longer swingarm designed to give better feel of the terrain, all-new ergonomics, a lower seat height, improved engine heat dissipation, optimized suspension settings, just to name a few. An all new bodywork providing excellent ergonomics and allowing it to hold the fuel in the tank as low as possible has been designed for better agility, a lower center of gravity and an even better feeling in all riding conditions. A sharper cornering sensation has been achieved by moving the steering head back by 15 mm, re-locating the front section of the engine and introducing a slightly longer new diecast open-lattice swingarm for a greater depth of feeling under acceleration. KTM engineers have analyzed and trimmed every centimeter of the new bodywork in order to provide the right thickness and the optimal rider-bike contact.The sensation of control and balance is augmented by the new three-part fuel tank that holds 23 l (6.1 US Gallons) and is positioned lower to assist riding equilibrium. Like the chassis, the subframe has also been reconstructed and is topped with a sporty stepped seat at 880 mm (34.6 in.) of height with slim dimensions and a handy storage compartment underneath.SUSPENSIONFurther enhancing handling is the reworked 2022 WP suspension configuration. The KTM 1290 Super Adventure R draws on KTM’s success in racing for its development and embraces the best of WP XPLOR technology. The fully-adjustable 48 mm front forks with an impressive 220 mm (8.7 in.) of travel feature split damping functions and quick modification potential with a twist of the respective dials. The same travel measurement graces the WP PDS shock. The performance of the system was improved through tests in the Californian desert as well as long stretches of varied landscapes across Europe.NEED TO KNOW – * All-new ergonomics designed to improve agility.* Redesigned seat with lower height.* Reworked long-travel, adjustable WP XPLOR suspension.* Optimized weight distribution with lower-placed fuel tanks.* Cutting-edge electronics that enhance the ride.* New Rally Mode allows custom tuning of throttle response and traction control.* Improved handling feel with revised frame and swingarm.* Faster and smoother shifting with reworked gearbox.* Reworked airbox offers easy access to air filter with four screws.* New, intuitive 7’’ TFT display with redesigned handlebar switches.*
