KTM’s new 1390 Super Adventure R. “Engineered to take you to the most remote locations. Able to cross the wildest and most challenging terrains.” Designed, developed and produced in Austria.
Engine:
The 1390 Super Adventure R’s newly worked engine is bumped up from 1301 to an enormous 1350cc and produces 170 hp @ 9500 rpm and 145 Nm @ 8000 rpm.
Equipped with KTM’s Camshift technology, variable-valve timing with two individual cam profiles. At high revs the camshaft shifts sideways and opens the valves higher and longer to allow more gas flow to the cylinder head increasing performance. At lower revs the valve timing is reduced to give a smoother ride..
Suspension:
The 1390 Super Adventure R is equipped with high-performance WP XPLOR suspension that KTM test rider Quinn Cody helped to develop. The front is fitted with a WP XPLOR fork that have 48 mm inner tubes and KTM’s split fork technology. Taking care of business out back is a high-end PDS monoshock that is fully adjustable including high and low-speed compression damping. A WP steering damper has been fitted.
Wheels:
The 90/90-21 front and the 150/70-18 rear spoked wheels on the 1390 Super Adventure R are wrapped in new Bridgestone AT 41 Tyres that are said to give improved off-road stability and handling on rougher terrain. To improve the braking performance KTM has fitted an all-new Brembo front brake master cylinder that powers the two 4-piston radially mounted Brembo calipers. The rear brakes are a 2-piston fixed Brembo caliper.
Ergonomics:
The 1390 Super Adventure R has been designed to look more muscular and feel more compact. The new look includes new tank spoilers, front-end bodywork and an all-new LED headlight unit with new cornering lights that light up the bends with broader illumination. For a more comfortable ride the Super Adventure R features multi-adjustable touchpoints such as shift lever, brake and clutch lever, handlebar position and adjustable windshield. The footpegs have been lowered by 8 mm to improve rider comfort and moved 10 mm outward.
Elec Tech:
The dash has been fitted with an 8.8” portrait-mounted TFT touchscreen display and features an Optically Bonded, anti fingerprint and anti-glare screen. It also has a variety of engine map selections and rider modes. When activated the ride-by-wire will adjust the throttle response and peak power output. Rain, Street, Sport, Offroad and Custom rider modes come as standard with Rally mode as an optional extra.
Rally mode provides maximum power with slip adjustment, so the rider has a choice of the level of traction control intervention and throttle response and up to 9 levels of slip adjustment. Rally mode also activates the offroad ABS that allows the rear to be locked up for the tighter corners.
Other standard technology includes, Cornering ABS, Motorcycle Traction Control, Tyre Pressure Monitoring System, KTM connect, Cruise Control and Keyless System. Optional Technology extras for the 1390 Super Adventure R – Adaptive Brake Light, Quickshifter +, Front Radar and Hill Hold Control.
