You would think that there are no other adequate ADV Bikes than the KTM 1290 Super Adventure T if you go on to the Internet to see all of the superlatives. From the power, to the electronic menu of suspension adjustments, cruise control and heated grips, the bike has every electronic feature I have ever heard of and then some.

Ok, the LC8 based, 160hp, V-Twin does suggest arm stretching power, but
along with a 19” front wheel does have the basic ingredients for a crushing off road experience where finesse is not going to be the first thing that jumps to mind. Many riders say that the bike is the most comfortable touring motorcycle they have ridden and some how KTM has gotten the compromise right using the electronic menu right through their Ride-by-Wire technology. The semi-active Suspension system, Motorcycle Traction Control (MTC), ABS/Cornering-ABS, Ride Modes, and Cruise Control are all products of this system and set the new standard in rider assistance. Old school guys (or gals) may balk at all of this hardware, but when the rubber hits the ground, it is a game changer. Along with all of that are Heated Grips and Tire Monitoring.
