The Ktm Super Adventure 1290 S has a top speed of 240 km/h (estimated, electronically influenced), produces 160 hp and weighs 228 kg. Motoryk rates it 8.2/10.

تم طرح دراجة KTM 1290 Super Adventure S في عام 2015 باعتبارها الدراجة النارية الرائدة في مجال المغامرات والجولات السياحية من KTM، والتي تم تصميمها حول المحرك القوي 1301cc V-twin «Super Duke». خضعت السيارة لعملية إعادة تصميم كبيرة في عام 2021، حيث حصلت على إطار جديد وإلكترونيات محدثة ونظام تعليق WP XPLOR شبه النشط ونظام تثبيت السرعة التكيفي القائم على الرادار - وهو الأول من نوعه في قطاع المغامرات. تشتهر بمزج الأداء الفائق مع القدرة على التجول لمسافات طويلة، واكتسبت سمعة كواحدة من أكثر دراجات المغامرات المتوفرة تقدمًا من الناحية التكنولوجية.

⚙️

Watch The Throttle Body

Some owners report throttle body synchronization issues causing rough idle or hesitation, particularly on earlier models. Regular dealer servicing with throttle body resets can prevent this from becoming a costly problem.

📡

Best-In-Class Electronics

The 1290 Super Adventure S features a cornering ABS, lean-angle sensitive traction control, and a semi-active WP suspension system that rivals bikes costing significantly more. These features make it exceptionally capable but also expensive to repair if sensors fail out of warranty.

💰

Strong Resale Value

KTM adventure bikes hold their value well compared to Japanese competitors, typically retaining 70-80% of their value after two years. A full dealer service history significantly boosts resale price, so keep all records.

"Brilliant, characterful adventure bike — but buy with verified service history only."

$9,500-$14,500 used

The 1290 Super Adventure S is one of those bikes that makes you feel genuinely special every time you throw a leg over it. The semi-active WP suspension is legitimately brilliant, the cornering ABS and lean-sensitive traction control work seamlessly, and that 1301cc V-twin just pulls like a freight train from anywhere in the rev range. It's dramatic, characterful, and fast in a way that proper adventure bikes rarely are. Used examples from 2017-2021 represent serious value right now. Here's the honest part though — KTM reliability has a reputation, and it's partially earned. Check service history religiously. The throttle bodies need syncing periodically, frame sliders are cheap insurance, and early models had known fuel pump gremlins. The electronics suite can throw phantom warnings that dealers charge handsomely to diagnose. Budget an extra $500-800 for a proper once-over from a KTM specialist before trusting it on a long tour. Buy one with full dealer history, avoid anything that looks like it's been dropped hard, and you'll have an adventure bike that embarrasses sportsbikes on canyon roads.
