RIDING a New KTM 1290 Super Adventure on Mountainbike Single Tracks

  • 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.

    Let us know when you flat spot your rims because it will happen even if you don't reduce your tyre pressure. Could you do a video showing us how the electronics effect the wheelie abilities. Mine will lift the front wheel a small amount in sports mode but only a small amount and I don't know if that's because I'm useless at wheelies or if it's the electronics. Great vid👍👍

    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.
