They say evolution is inevitable wherever life exists. In that case, the KTM 1390 SUPER ADVENTURE S EVO proves that statement. It also reinforces the statement that more is more, bringing a truckload of new tech to the fore, like KTM's revolutionary AMT. This new-generation travel machine is the next step in Adventure evolution: more intelligent, more powerful, and more calculating than all that has come before it.
Now available at Lings Powersports, the KTM 1390 Adventure S EVO elevates large-capacity travel by combining advanced electronics, potent V‑twin dynamics, and refined comfort into an agile touring powerhouse.
Under the sculpted bodywork lies a ferocious 1,301 cc LC8 V‑twin engine, delivering approximately 160 PS of peak power and 106 Nm of torque. Ride-by-wire throttle, map-selectable modes, and a seamless quickshifter enable precise and thrilling delivery of power—whether navigating tight gravel or accelerating on open highways.
Built on a robust chromium-moly steel frame with a bolt-on aluminium subframe, the Adventure S EVO features semi-active WP APEX suspension. Dual 48 mm front forks and a rear monoshock both offer electronic adjustment, adapting suspension damping in real-time. This system keeps the bike planted under load while ensuring ride comfort across varied terrain.
Braking is handled by twin 320 mm front discs with Brembo Stylema radial calipers and a 282 mm rear disc—integrated with switchable cornering ABS and rally-mode settings for optimal stopping power in any conditions. A large Brembo radial master cylinder enhances braking feel and modulation.
Tech-savvy features include a vivid 7-inch TFT display with full smartphone connectivity for navigation, calls, and media. Multiple ride modes—Street, Sport, Rain, Rally, Enduro, and Off-Road—tailor throttle response, traction control, ABS intervention, and power output to a wide range of conditions.
Tour-ready ergonomics offer a comfortable riding stance with a two-position adjustable windscreen and seat height, wide handlebars, and ergonomic footpeg placement for long-distance duty. Charging capabilities are enhanced with USB-C ports, and heated grips can be added for rider comfort.
With a 23 L fuel tank, compact electronics layout, and dedicated luggage rack ready for optional panniers, the KTM 1390 Adventure S EVO strikes a refined balance of sports performance and adventure readiness.
