KTM does off-road performance. Case in point, the 2020 KTM 1290 Super Adventure R. With Dakar-inspired styling, longer suspension travel than the road-going S model, crash guards, and spoked wheels, the R is geared for any challenging expedition. It’s equipped with the same 75-degree 1,301cc V-twin that claims 160 hp and lean-angle-sensitive ABS and traction control, four ride modes, cruise control, a 6.5-inch TFT display, KTM My Ride package with navigation capability.
