2017 KTM 1090 ADVENTURE R HIGHLIGHTS

The KTM 1090 ADVENTURE R stares down anything in its path. As the purest offroad travel-enduro the 1090 ADVENTURE R has been created to excel when the pavement ends. Significantly upgraded WP suspension, offroad wheels and a tough yet fuel-efficient engine are READY TO RACE. Decades of rally raid victories roar within. Bristling with the technology such at traction control, ride modes and lean-sensitive ABS, the 1090 ADVENTURE R shares much with the more powerful 1290 ADVENTURE R. And even though its engine capacity is smaller, it’s still big on power – 125 HP in fact. That’s 23 more than Fabrizio Meoni’s Dakar winning 950. There is no stopping the 1090 ADVENTURE R. The world is yours – Devour it.
