The 2026 KTM 1390 Super Adventure R is here—and it’s bigger, badder, and more advanced than ever. 🏍️🔥
In this first ride review, we take KTM’s latest open-class ADV weapon through Southern California’s mountains and desert to see if all that added power, tech, and refinement actually delivers in the real world.
💥 What’s new for 2026?
- Massive 1,350cc V-Twin with Camshift tech and 170+ hp
- Stiffer, more responsive chassis with improved handling
- WP XPLOR suspension built for serious off-road riding
- Advanced electronics suite with customizable ride modes + IMU aids
- New 8” TFT display with navigation and OTA updates
- Longer service intervals and improved cooling
🌍 In this video, we cover:
- Real-world performance on-road and off-road
- How the new engine delivers power (and how usable it is)
- Chassis feel and handling in tough terrain
- Electronics and rider aids—helpful or overkill?
- The pros, the cons, and whether it’s worth the price
The 1390 Super Adventure R pushes the limits of what a big ADV bike can do—blending serious off-road capability with long-distance touring comfort. But is it the ultimate do-it-all machine, or just more for the sake of more?
🎥 Watch the full review and decide for yourself.
