RIDING a New KTM 1290 Super Adventure on Mountainbike Single Tracks

Рет қаралды 39,203

2 жыл бұрын

My new 2022 KTM 1290 Super Adventure R is an awesome adventure motorcycle but some are scared it's to big to take it offroad. So i took my 1290 super adventure to a mountainbike single track and tested this for myself wearing a go pro 10 with the media mod. I have been riding a Husqvarna 350FE enduro for many years but this is the first time i'm taking out the big heavy bike for this offroad adventure. This is probably gonna trigger mountainbikers but no worries , this single track is mostly abandoned.

That looks like lots of fun! I also get the "The bike is too heavy to ride" stuff swung at my head, and the moment you prove them wrong, they come up with something else ;) . Just enjoy the ride, which you seem to do. Also.. that ending.. was hilarious :') . Please keep this quality of content, it's enjoyable to watch.

When I first got my 1190ADVR I started single tracking in CO. Many pucker moments, but certainly doable. The benefits of the large bikes are the road manners. I picked up a 701 a couple years later and while it's way better on singles, on the highway with 40/60s it is super sketch. Love the end, it's always screwing around that dumps a bike.

Yeah it rides really easily in tight corners if you wiggle that body around. But i do agree that at some point it might get sketchy if you are not a 200cm 140kg man 😁

The scary feel just adds to the excitement. I loved the forgiving nature of the 1290SAR from accelerating out of corners in the wrong gear to hitting ruts at the wrong speed. One day maybe.

This is not a good idea to ride a new motorbike like that, there is something called break in and contrary to what people are thinking this is not only about the engine. Before to do that kind of things, you need to do some easy miles to get tires, brakes and so on in good shape. There is also the need for the driver to get used to the bike before to do some tough things. When you have such a pricey bike, a little attention is better. Don't ever purchase a used bike from that man.

@@LifeofSmokey Then you are absolutely right and I stand corrected. This is because I like mechanics and I push by bike but don't mistreat it.
