Released only two years ago, it would benefit in 2015 from several modifications aimed at improving its comfort. As a bonus, the Austrian maxi-trail would also be doubled by a new version, more efficient and better equipped, the KTM 1290 Super Adventure..

The Orange threat is becoming clearer in the maxi-trails segment

With his, the Austrian manufacturer intends to question the supremacy of the icon. To achieve this, KTM does not stand idly by and continually improves its already excellent maxi-trail. The Adventure receives for example the most sophisticated since the beginning of the year and is about to reveal its first evolution.

The dynamic Austrian motorcycle (150 hp for 230 kg) would benefit in particular from a redesigned fairing to improve both the protection of the rider and the evacuation of heat from the engine.

The larger-surface bubble and the saddle would also be reviewed, some of the few points on which the current model lends itself to criticism..

The capacity of the gasoline tank would gain in passing a few liters (23 currently) in order to enlarge the range of action of the Mattighoffen trail. The KTM 1190 Adventure would reproduce identically its reinforced steel trellis frame, its effective "house" WP suspensions and its full Brembo braking.. 

The electronics, already particularly developed on the current model which includes the latest generation Bosch, traction control, four maps and piloted suspensions (optional), will probably be refined on this 2015 vintage in order to improve it. operation and responsiveness.

Great, here is a new Adventure !

Currently available in two versions (standard and R with engine protection bars, saddle and handlebars oriented off-road), the Austrian maxi-trail would also complete its offer through a third "super" model: the KTM 1290 Super Adventure, surprise in the middle of a test session on the photo below.

Little information has yet filtered out concerning this Super Adventure, except that it could swap the already very powerful 1195 cc V2 of the current version (150 hp and 125 Nm of torque) for the bestial 1301 cc engine. (180 hp and 144 Nm)! An assumption confirmed by the marking "1290" visible on the visual opposite.

We can imagine – hope ?! – that the engine manufacturers will have somewhat channeled the ardor of the monstrous V-twin of the roadster in order to stick to the more peaceful philosophy of the maxi-trail !

This Super Adventure would also benefit from multiple amenities compared to the standard version, such as even more advanced electronics and better protection..

Confirmation and more information to follow on MNC, probably this fall at the Cologne and Milan motorcycle shows: stay tuned !
