Within the KTM 1290 Adventure range, there are two models: the ’S’ and the ‘R’. The 1290 Super Adventure R is the full off-road version, while the 1290 Adventure S is more road orientated, equipped with alloy wheels – the front being a 19-inch item – not to mention a lower seat height, electronic suspension and radar-assisted cruise control.
It is commonly accepted that, for true off-road ability and practicality, a wire-spoked wheel is preferable but owners who want the best of both worlds – the off-road ability of the ‘R’ with the road attributes and equipment of the ’S’ – have so far been disappointed.
That’s where RAD KTM has stepped up to the plate, in response to feedback from customers. RAD KTM is now offering the 1290 Adventure S with spoked wheels – 19-inch at the front and 17-inch at the rear – from the KTM Powersports catalogue at no extra cost over the purchase price of a standard 1290 S. Bought separately, they would set you back around R17,000.
RAD KTM will be throwing in a few more tasty items, including both hardware and software upgrades, to add even more value but you’ll have to contact RAD KTM to get all the details.
This offer is also available at RAD PAARL.
