KTM 1290ADV R spy photo exposure: Front and rear 17 inch wheels are biased towards road performance

KTM, a large manufacturer from Austria known for its lightness and high performance, has recently been frequently moved, and has recently not only redesigned many of its models, but also many new vehicles with different positioning and exhaust volumes on the road, and have been witnessed by foreign media. What is on the road this time is the most exhausted of the recent test car, this new model has a body similar to the 1290 Super Adventure, but a closer look can find that many details are more sporty!

Based on the information in the photo, we can see that the test car uses a 17-inch wheel frame at the front and rear – the front wheels are from the 1290 Super Duke GT, and the rear wheels are from the 1290 Super Adventure S. At the same time, it is also equipped with a shorter WP APEX shock absorber and a PIRELLI Angel GT II top-of-the-line running tire. At the same time, compared with the original Super Adventure series, this test car has also been adjusted in geometry, not only replaced by a shorter swingarm, but also the throat angle of the front is more perpendicular to the ground, which means that the steering response of the front can also be more sensitive.

Both the frame and suspension have been changed to more flexible settings.

At the same time, the large bumpers that came standard on the Super Adventure series were removed, and the seat cushion was changed from the one-piece design of the Super Adventure R to a detached one. Combining the above elements, we can find that this test car has the comfort of ADV and the excellent On-Road performance of the Duke, which can be said to be between the existing Super Duke and Super Adventure models. And such a setting may also be to meet the BMW S1000XR, DUCATI Multistrada Pikes Peak and other "high-performance sports multi-purpose station wagons", and I believe that with the KTM car's as light features as ever, this car can also compete with opponents in the same distance after the advent of the same level, shine!
