KTM's 1390 Super Adventure R finally justifies the displacement—if you can handle 148 horses in adventure trim
KTM pushed the 1390cc LC8 V-twin past 148 hp and kept it in the Super Adventure R, making this the heaviest, most powerful bike in its category. The displacement jump from the 1190 isn't just marketing—it's a real difference in midrange torque and highway stability, though you're paying for that extra 25 pounds and complexity.
Adventure bikes have become too civilized. The 1390 SAR is what happens when engineers get the budget to say yes instead of no—and the market's ready for it.
