KTM’s flagship adventure bike, the KTM 1390 Super Adventure R, is a hyper-configurable machine packing 173 hp and loads of tech to help riders wring the most out of the bike. Developed with help from famous off-road racer Quinn Cody, the 1390 Super Adventure R is capable of any adventure with features like WP XPLOR suspension, crash guards, a skid plate, a vertically mounted 8-inch TFT display, four standard ride modes, adjustable traction control and ABS, an adjustable windscreen, and more.
Quinn Redeker took a spin on the 1390 Super Adventure R in Joshua Tree National Park in California and came away impressed not only with the level of adjustability and configuration available on the bike but also its off-road capability and refinement. If you’re a serious off-road adventure rider, this ADV deserves some consideration. Quinn breaks it down for you in this video review, and more details can be found in his full written review.
