KTM 1290 Super Adventure S 2020

KTM 1290 Super Adventure S 2020

The KTM 1290 Super Adventure S is more than a sporty touring enduro - it is a sports machine that can also go on tours. The powerful 160 hp engine is not only extremely powerful, it is also very easy to operate and makes you want to ride sportily. The many electronic assistance systems such as traction control, semi-active chassis, various modes and cornering ABS also contribute to making you feel right at home on the 1290 Super Adventure S. Finally, the huge TFT display and other gadgets such as the Race-on system or My Ride are also quite convincing.

Powerful engine

precise handling

traction control with fun factor

cornering ABS as standard

easy-to-read, huge TFT display

quickshifter

Triumph Tiger 1200 GT PRO 2024

Triumph Tiger 1200 GT PRO 2024

The Triumph Tiger 1200 GT Pro comes with a powerful in-line three-cylinder engine and plenty of features. The all-round carefree package on two wheels is easy to control, but clearly favours a more leisurely pace. If that doesn't bother you, you'll enjoy the smooth electronic suspension, good wind protection and plenty of comfort features. However, the newly developed Tiger 1200 is (still) a little out of round in some areas, as can be seen, for example, from the stronger load change reactions and high-frequency vibrations on motorway stages.

Linear, predictable power delivery

comprehensive electronics package

good wind protection

comfortable riding position

top brakes

High-frequency vibrations at certain engine speeds

rather sluggish handling

load change reactions

grips unfavourably positioned for pillion riders
