Ride Modes
The real adventure begins when you pull out the gate. With a variety of Ride Modes and Engine Map selections, you can confidently handle any condition. Once activated, the ride-by-wire system adjusts the throttle response and peak power output to suit various conditions. The standard ride modes include RAIN, STREET, SPORT, OFFROAD, and CUSTOM. With the optional RALLY mode, you can conquer any terrain confidently. For more information, visit our KTM Tech Guide.
KTM RACE ON
The KTM 1390 SUPER ADVENTURE R is fitted with a state-of-the-art keyless-go system with a unique Anti Relay Attack (ARA) system. Not only does this reduce the risk of misuse of the keyless system by preventing ignition, but it also provides the power to unlock the fuel cap and even the Keyless Luggage Lock for the optional KTM TOURING LUGGAGE set. For more information, visit our KTM Tech Guide.
The KTM 1390 SUPER ADVENTURE R has added more stopping power to its arsenal, thanks to all-new Brembo front master cylinders. This makes for improved brake performance and a sharper 'bite' when grabbing a handful of front stoppers.
Suspension
The KTM 1390 SUPER ADVENTURE R is fitted with high-performance WP XPLOR suspension, which was co-developed with test rider Quinn Cody at the helm. A WP XPLOR fork with 48 mm inner tubes takes care of business at the front and has been derived from the successful KTM off-road models and features split fork technology. At the rear, is a high-end PDS monoshock, which is fully adjustable in spring preload with an external handwheel, rebound, and compression, including high and low-speed compression damping.
RALLY MODE
As the name suggests, RALLY MODE provides maximum power with slip adjustment. This means riders can choose the level of traction control intervention and the throttle response, with up to 9 levels of slip adjustment. RALLY MODE also allows riders to hoist the front wheel to clear obstacles, while Offroad ABS is activated, allowing the rear to be locked up in tight corners. RALLY MODE is available as an optional extra.
Turning night to day, an all-new LED headlight unit takes center position on the KTM 1390 SUPER ADVENTURE range. Not only does this provide the SUPER ADVENTURE with a fresh signature stare, but it also illuminates the road ahead with new cornering lights lighting up the bends with a broader illumination.
Adjustability
The KTM 1390 SUPER ADVENTURE R features multi-adjustable touchpoints, like the brake and clutch levers, shift lever, handlebar position, and windshield, making finding the perfect position for hours in the saddle a breeze.
Steering Damper
Heading off the beaten track often leads to encountering some pretty rough roads. Thankfully, things are kept in check by a WP steering damper as standard. Linked between the frame and the triple clamp, the steering damper ensures things are kept tidy when the road isn't.
Thanks to new, more efficient radiator fans with wings, cooling is dramatically improved on this latest generation KTM 1390 SUPER ADVENTURE range. A new, more robust valve seat material and new alloy materials help increase thermal conductivity, while lateral air outlets guide hot air away from the rider's knees.
Footpegs
The footrest mounting position is lowered by 8 mm to improve the rider's comfort thanks to a wider knee angle, while being moved 10 mm outwards for better contact and feel when standing on the pegs.
Handlebar
Wider, adjustable, and made of high-strength tapered aluminum, these new handlebars are perfectly suited to a reworked upper triple clamp made of lightweight forged aluminum. Beside improved cable guides, the rubber-dampened handlebar mount improves rider comfort over all terrain types, with newly designed handguards providing imprioved stiffness for improved protection.
Winning Dakar is not like winning any ordinary race. It is the ultimate test of rider and machine, forged together at the limit for 15 relentless days and more than 8000 brutal kilometers. Every KTM ADVENTURE motorcycle is born from this battlefield, directly derived from the KTM 450 RALLY factory race machine. The lessons learned, the durability proven, and the performance earned at Dakar live on in every KTM ADVENTURE model. This icon marks the absolute speed, total resilience, and uncompromising reliability of your motorcycle, exactly where KTM thrives.
