Ktm Adventure 1290 R
Die KTM 1290 Super Adventure R wurde 2017 als Offroad-Variante der Flaggschiff-Abenteuer-Modellreihe von KTM vorgestellt, die auf dem leistungsstarken LC8-V-Twin-Motor basiert. Es verfügt über eine WP-Federung mit langem Federweg, Speichenräder und fortschrittliche Elektronik wie Kurven-ABS und semiaktive Federung, was es zu einem der leistungsfähigsten Adventure-Bikes mit großem Hubraum auf dem Markt macht. Die Bezeichnung „R“ unterstreicht ihre Geländegängigkeit im Vergleich zu dem „S“ -Geschwistermodell, das auf Touren ausgerichtet ist. In den nachfolgenden Modelljahren bis hin zur aktuellen Generation wurde es kontinuierlich weiterentwickelt.

Was Käufer wissen sollten
Powerful V-Twin Engine
The 1301cc LC8 V-twin produces around 160hp, making it one of the most powerful adventure bikes available. However, the engine runs hot in slow traffic, so watch for cooling system maintenance on used examples.
Watch the Electronics
Early models (2015-2017) had known issues with WP suspension software glitches and occasional throttle body sensor faults. Always check service history and ensure firmware updates have been applied before buying used.
Strong Resale Value
KTM 1290 Super Adventure R holds its value exceptionally well due to high demand and limited supply, typically retaining 70-80% of its value after two years. The 'R' off-road variant commands a premium over the standard 'S' model.

Bewertung von gebrauchten Käufern
"Brilliant but unforgiving — buy a well-serviced example or walk away."
$11,000-$16,000 usedThe 1290 Super Adventure R is genuinely one of the most capable adventure bikes ever built, but buying one used requires your eyes wide open. That LC8 V-twin is a stonker — 160 horses that feel alive in a way the GS simply doesn't — and the WP suspension on the R variant genuinely handles rough terrain rather than just pretending to. The electronics package with cornering ABS, traction control, and semi-active suspension is class-leading even by today's standards. Here's the honest bit though: these things eat maintenance budgets. Check service history religiously — valve checks are expensive and owners skip them. The 2017-2018 models had throttle-by-wire gremlins and fuel pump issues that KTM quietly addressed. Avoid anything without documented servicing at 15k intervals. Orange chain disease (neglect) is real on these. Fairing plastics crack if it's been dropped, and crash damage repair is wallet-draining. Budget an extra $500-800 inspection fund before buying.
