2026 KTM 1390 Super Adventure R

That 1390 in its name signals a bump in capacity, going from 1,300cc in the previous iteration to 1,350cc for the current model year. With that extra displacement comes increased power figures: 173 horsepower and 107 lb.ft (145 Nm) of torque.

This bump is a result of reworked engine components and brand-new CAMSHIFT technology, which also help with reduced emissions, improved fuel efficiency, and better rideability in the low RPM range. At higher revs, the inlet cams shift sideways, opening the valves higher and longer to supply more fuel to the cylinder, thus maximizing performance. In contrast, in the lower rev range, the intake cams dial back the valve timing and lift, which helps in better ride quality.

The chassis is now stiffer too, thanks to a chromium-molybdenum-steel trellis frame. There’s also abundant engine protection that comes standard from the factory floor.

KTM has tweaked the suspension – you now get a 48-mm WP XPLOR split cartridge fork and a WP XPLOR Progressive Damping System shock in the back. Braking comes in the form of a pair of Brembo 4-piston, radially mounted calipers with a 320-mm disc up front and a Brembo 2-piston, fixed caliper with a 267-mm disc at the rear.

Also redesigned is the bodywork, which sure looks sharper, alongside the LED headlights, a low-profile windshield, and a whole host of onboard luggage storage spaces.

As for tech, the Super Adventure R doesn't cut any corners, as you’d expect. Kicking things off is a large, vertically stacked 8-inch TFT display. You get four regular ride modes (Rain, Street, Sport, and Offroad) as well as a custom mode that you can tinker with.

On top of that, you can add the Rally mode at an additional cost, which offers maximum power with up to nine slip adjustment settings and the ability "to hoist the front wheel to clear obstacles, while Offroad ABS is activated, allowing the rear to be locked up in tight corners," according to KTM.
