2021 KTM 1290 SUPER ADVENTURE S | 10,800 KM 12 months rego

If you are looking for a motorcycle that combines serious performance, long distance comfort and enough technology to make every ride feel like an event, this 2021 KTM 1290 Super Adventure S deserves your attention.

With just 10,800 km on the clock and desirable extras including the KTM Tech Pack and rally pegs, this is a seriously capable adventure tourer built for riders who want more from their motorcycle. Whether you are carving through your favourite twisty roads, covering big kilometres on a weekend escape or exploring the road less travelled, the Super Adventure S brings together the performance of a sports bike with the versatility of a premium adventure machine.

THE POWER TO GO ANYWHERE

At its heart is KTM's formidable 1301cc LC8 75 degree V twin engine, producing a claimed 160 horsepower at 9,000 rpm and 138 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm. The result is enormous, effortless performance with strong acceleration and the kind of overtaking ability that makes open road touring an absolute pleasure.

Power is delivered through a six speed gearbox and hydraulically operated PASC slipper clutch, while ride by wire throttle technology helps manage the engine's substantial performance. This is not a motorcycle that struggles when the road opens up. It is built to cover ground quickly, comfortably and with a distinctly KTM character.

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE

The 2021 model introduced a major evolution in KTM's adventure range, bringing an impressive suite of rider aids and electronic systems.

The standout feature is the 7 inch full colour TFT display, providing a clear view of riding information and access to the motorcycle's extensive electronic settings. Multiple riding modes, lean angle sensitive traction control and cornering ABS help the rider make the most of the available performance across changing road conditions.

Adaptive Cruise Control also comes standard on the 2021 model, using radar technology to help maintain a selected following distance from traffic ahead. It is a particularly useful feature on longer highway journeys, taking some of the workload out of covering serious kilometres.

KTM TECH PACK

This example comes equipped with the Tech Pack, adding a substantial range of electronic features to an already impressive motorcycle. Depending on the enabled configuration, the package includes:

• Quickshifter+ for clutchless upshifts and downshifts.

• Rally Pack functionality, including Rally riding mode and adjustable traction control slip settings.

• Suspension Pro functions for additional suspension adjustment and electronic preload management.

• Motor Slip Regulation to help manage rear wheel behaviour under deceleration.

• Hill Hold Control to assist with hill starts.

• Adaptive brake light functionality for additional visibility during hard braking.

The Tech Pack adds genuine versatility, allowing the bike to be tailored to different roads, riding conditions and rider preferences.

PREMIUM SUSPENSION AND BRAKING

KTM equipped the Super Adventure S with WP semi active suspension technology, using electronically controlled damping to adapt to changing riding conditions. With approximately 200 mm of suspension travel at both ends, it is designed to balance composed road manners with the ability to handle rougher surfaces.

Braking is handled by twin 320 mm front discs with radially mounted Brembo four piston calipers, backed by a 267 mm rear disc and Bosch cornering ABS technology. The combination delivers serious stopping power and sophisticated electronic assistance to help keep everything under control.

BUILT FOR BIG DAYS IN THE SADDLE

The Super Adventure S is designed to make long distance riding less of a chore and more of an experience. Its 23 litre fuel tank, adjustable seat height, upright riding position and adjustable windscreen make it a natural choice for touring. The 2021 redesign also refined the chassis, weight distribution and ergonomics to improve agility and rider comfort.

This example also features rally pegs, adding a practical touch for riders who appreciate a more secure footing and the flexibility to change riding position when tackling rougher roads or standing on the pegs.
