The 2015 KTM 1190 Adventure is a benchmark-setting motorcycle that redefines the travel segment. Its 75V-twin cylinder, DOHC engine delivers a potent 150 hp, yet weighs in at a mere 230 kg fully tanked, making it the most agile and responsive bike in its class.
The engine’s power delivery is nothing short of remarkable, offering a seamless transition from relaxed cruising to super-sporty acceleration, with every conceivable level in between. Paired with the chassis’s exceptional geometry and suspension, the result is an unparalleled riding experience that’s as comfortable on long highway stretches as it is on technical off-road terrain.
The addition of Bosch’s MSC (Motorcycle Stability Control) system takes the 1190 Adventure to new heights, combining lean-sensitive traction control, ABS, and a world-first lean-sensitive cornering ABS for unparalleled safety and control. With its impressive fuel efficiency, large 23-litre tank capacity, and long service intervals, the KTM 1190 Adventure is the ultimate travel companion for any rider.
