About this model

About the KTM 1290 Super Adventure S

The KTM 1290 Super Adventure S is KTM's flagship adventure-touring model, centred around the 1,301 cc LC8 V-twin producing 118 kW (160 hp). Its defining feature is the semi-active WP APEX Pro suspension that continuously adjusts damping in real time. Cornering ABS, lean-sensitive traction control, and a 9-axis IMU round out the electronics package. Production started in 2017, with major updates in 2021 and 2023.

The S is aimed at experienced riders who cover long tarmac distances rather than serious off-road terrain. The electrically adjustable windscreen, heated seats, and joystick-operated TFT display make it a premium GT machine in adventure clothing. It competes directly with the BMW R 1250 GS Adventure and Ducati Multistrada V4 S. Riders who prioritise on-road performance over ground clearance will prefer the S over the R variant.

  • KTM 1290 Super Adventure S
Before you buy

What to check before buying

  • Check the semi-active WP suspension for fault codes on the TFT display; sensor failures are expensive to diagnose and repair

  • Inspect the TFT joystick for wear or sponginess; a known wear point on high-mileage examples

  • Check coolant hoses around the cylinder head for seeping, especially on pre-2021 models

  • Look for corrosion at the aluminium subframe joints on bikes used through winter months

  • Ask for a full chain and sprocket service history; the engine's torque accelerates drivetrain wear significantly
