About the Ktm 1290 Super Adventure R
The KTM 1290 Super Adventure R is the off-road-focused variant of KTM's flagship adventure machine. The 1,301 cc LC8 V-twin produces 118 kW (160 hp) and is paired with long-travel WP Xplor suspension (270 mm front, 220 mm rear), greater ground clearance, and spoked wheels shod with off-road tyres. The R stands for rally and is built for serious unpaved riding. Production started in 2017, with a comprehensively updated model in 2021.
The 1290 SA R targets experienced adventure riders who genuinely want to leave tarmac, from Alpine passes to gravel tracks and sand pistes. The electronics package (MSC, cornering ABS, off-road riding mode) keeps it manageable in challenging terrain. Compared to the S, the R trades comfort for ground clearance and trail capability. Main rivals are the BMW R 1250 GS Adventure, Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports, and Yamaha Ténéré 700 (lower segment).

What to check before buying
- Check spoke tension and trueness; off-road riding causes spoke loosening far faster than road use
- Inspect the WP Xplor fork for oil seeping at the seals, a known wear point under hard off-road use
- Ask about the condition of crash protection parts (skid plate, radiator guard); OEM replacements are expensive
- Look for frame or subframe damage at the junction points; drops on unpaved terrain are common
- Check the wiring loom under the tank for chafing caused by vibrations during prolonged off-road riding
