KTM 1290 Super Adventure S Orange 2024

With a sledgehammer hit of 160hp and a massive 138 Nm of earth twisting torque, the proven V-twin LC8 engine once again take the accolades as the most compact, lightest, and best performing engine in the segment. Its greener too, meeting all the EURO5 regulations and will deliver 15.000km service intervals and low fuel consumption, trip after trip, mile after mile.  

Helping the KTM 1290 Super Adventure S shift - in more ways that one - is a 6-speed PANKL transmission with a new, lighter aluminium shifting drum with optimized tracker for faster, smoother gear changes. Shifting forks have also been coated in copper to reduce wear and tear. This also helps the quickshifter+ engage quicker for ultra-fast, slick gear changes.

Not only does the slipper clutch open when the engine back-torque becomes too high, it also assists when you open up the throttle. The former prevents destabilizing rear wheel chatter when braking sharply or decelerating; the latter reduced the level force require for changing gears, allowing the clutch to be controlled with one trigger happy finger - saving you energy while riding.
