KTM It remains attentive to the evolution of its flagship models, as is the case of the Super Adventure, which has recently been photographed by colleagues from Motorrad Online in the midst of testing in local traffic. In this way, speculation continues about the arrival of the new model, although there are other key aspects that we want to show you today.
As we pointed out at the beginning of 2024, when we showed you the new mega KTM supermotard with almost 200 HP after a test mule was caught in action, the Super Adventure It seems that it will also follow the same design and technical concepts as this one.
This translates into the adoption of a new front optical group and the more than likely arrival of the new engine released in the 1390 Super Duke R 2024. In this case, KTM has chosen to increase the displacement of its marvelous V2 at 75º increasing the diameter of its cylinders to 110 mm.
Now they are 1,350cc those declared mega naked by the Austrian firm that results in 190 HP of power at 10,000 rpm and 145 Nm of maximum torque at 8,000 revolutions. All this with an average consumption of 5.9 l/100 kilometers and complying with the demanding anti-pollution regulations Euro5+ which will come into force at the end of this year.
New KTM 1390 Super Adventure When?
If we assume that the new Super Adventure will have the renewed KTM LC8 Now we can focus on those key aspects that the hunted test mule shows in full action. Essentially, those that make up its front part where a double superimposed optic headlight definitively replaces the style. Splitface shown so far.
In addition, we observe some changes in the exhaust system, larger than the current one. Basically, to be able to adapt the mechanics to the upcoming Euro5+ regulations, as is the case in its sister the Super Duke.
However, we do not see any important changes in its chassis, where both the chassis, suspension and braking equipment seem the same as those fitted to the current model. Now the only question left is if KTM will offer the same power range in this Super Adventure than in the naked variant.
On the other hand, it is not clear when the Austrian brand plans to launch the new model of its high-performance ADV on the market. Maybe EICMA 2024 be the place chosen to present it in society, to end up launching it on the market in the first stages of 2025. What do you think?
