On December 20, 2022, KTM officially rolled the 2023 1290 Super Adventure R out into the world. Designed to be a more off-road-oriented version of 1290 Super Adventurousness, unsurprisingly, most of the specs will already be familiar if you’ve taken a look at the 2023 Super Adventure S.
Although the changes are minor, that doesn’t make them unwelcome. The new, scratch-resistant, seven-inch TFT display is the rider’s portal to a vast array of features. Bluetooth connectivity via the KTMConnect app allows for turn-by-turn navigation, as well as other smartphone-related tasks such as streaming your favorite music or answering incoming calls.
