1190 ADVENTURE R ABS

ENGINE

The potent V2 engine with 1195 cc displacement supplies everything that a top-class travel enduro could ever need: powerful acceleration for offroad use, a powerful punch for tours fully loaded up, and 150 hp peak power when the chips are down. Fully developed after five years in a superbike, not only does the extremely light, high-performance, four-valve engines consume considerably less fuel than its predecessor, It also extends the service intervals of the 1190 Adventure R to a wallet-friendly 15,000 km,

The most advanced technology helps in adapting the twin superbike to use in the Adventure R:

»Twin ignition sinks both consumption and emissions and ensures smooth running and superior power from the very bottom up.

»Ride-by-wire ensures perfect application of the readily available and plentiful torque.

»MTC (Motorcycle Traction Control) guarantees a sporty yet completely controllable propulsion on every surface and in all situations.

»The new slipper clutch prevents rear wheel chatter and Reduces the hand force required for shifting gears.

RIDE-BY-WIRE

The guarantee for smooth throttle response, not just no throttle control cable: The ride-by-wire system on the 1190 Adventure R ensures perfect application of the readily available and plentiful torque. It also electronically translates the throttle commands of the rider into the throttle valve positions perfectly suited to the riding conditions. The DBW system is fully compliant with the strict safety standard DIN 26 262 from the automobile sector.

SLIPPER CLUTCH

Not only does the new slipper clutch open when the engine back-torque Becomes too high, It also assists when you open up the throttle. The former prevents annoying rear wheel chatter when braking or decelerating sharply; the latter Reduces the hand force required for changing gear, hence allowing the clutch to be controlled with the little finger - the the which saves energy when riding.

CYLINDER HEADS

The play's good for the outstanding performance of the V-twin with its 75 ° cylinder angle are the state-of-the-art four-valve cylinder heads with twin plug ignition, flow-optimized ducts and cam follower drive via DLC-coated cam followers, each with two overhead camshafts.

Pistons

The forged piston structure borrowed from Formula 1 results in a high loading capacity, despite an extremely short and lightweight design. In this way, the reciprocating weight can be minimized and the responsiveness and free-revving nature of the engine maximized. The top piston ring grooves have a state-of-the-art, hard-anodised finish. Not only is this par- ticularly hard-wearing, It also minimizes friction and guarantees optimum sealing for the whole engine life.

TWIN IGNITION

The twin plug ignition system controls the two differently sized spark plugs in each cylinder head Independently of each other in such a way that more efficient combustion and a smoother, sequences are optimally controlled combustion Achieved at all times. The result: even more and even better controlled power, lower fuel consumption, and less emissions.

CRANKSHAFT

The smooth shape of the crank webs results in low-loss running of the crank drive; the modified weight distribution of the crankshaft and alternator rotor improve the ride quality. Together they optimize the load change behavior of the engine.

DLC COATING

DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) stands for an extremely hard, durable and tribologically (ie in terms of sliding behavior) par- ticularly well-suited coating, that KTM uses in many engine parts (cam followers, piston pins, etc.).

Versatile AND ERGONOMIC

The KTM 1190 Adventure R sets standards for the whole travel segment: 150 hp with a weight of only 230 kg fully tanked combine to produce a power-to-weight ratio previously unheard of in this class and therefore delivering Unrivaled ride dynamics. At the same time, the powerful, economical and cultivated engine enables either ticularly relaxed and comfortable riding or, if required, super-sporty propulsion - with every conceivable level in between. The chassis combines lightness with outstanding geometry and fantastic suspension, which, together with perfectly adapted travel enduro tires, allow undreamed of riding pleasure in all conditions and whatever speed you desire, from very relaxed to very, very fast. For MY 2015, the exhaust gets a newly designed heat shield for better protection of the rider's and passenger's feet.

SEAT

The single-piece seat is perfectly suited to the need for freedom of movement when riding offroad. Thanks to its state-of-the-art 3D foam padding, It also Provides more comfort over longer periods and a better feeling for what's happening at the wheels than a softer seat cushion - an orthopedic benefit from tourers for the tourers, from sportsmen for sportsmen, From MY 2015 on, KTM uses new foam that feels softer but offers much more consistency. So, no matter if the ride was short or very long, the rider and passenger reach the destination in comfort. Due to new luggage case of mounting from the side, the passenger handles are placed lower and provide more generous space and comfort.

ADJUSTABLE Windshield

The height of the windshield can be varied individually as desired or to suit the rider's stature in next to no time with the Easily operated champing mechanism (+25 mm).

Ergonomics

Not only are the top-notch ergonomics of the 1190 Adventure R suitable for all riding situations from comfortable outings - alone or two-up - to lively acceleration on asphalt and furious shredding offroad - whatever the surface or location. The ergonomics can also be adjusted in many ways to suit individualists and riders of any stature:

»Two handlebar clamping positions: horizontal +/- 10 mm

»Two footrest positions: diagonal 10 mm high and back

»Plus hand levers with 5 reach settings

FIELDS OF USE

The field of use of the 1190 Adventure R extends progressively from pleasurable touring comfort to uncompromising acceleration. This extremely wide application range is made possible not least by the first ever deployment of the ground-breaking electronics package featuring Bosch MSC. What's par- ticularly impressive is that the bike's different characters leads to virtually no perceptible compromises. Those who use the Adventure R for relaxed locomotion do not feel any of the sportiness at their disposal (for example, due to sharp responsiveness or a link chassis set-up). Those who ride more sportily do not have to put up with a rocking horse. The many riding modes naturally support the user's tastes as well. Whether it be alpine pass or coastal road, motorway or bone-shaking track, winding curves or urban jungle, the new 1190 Adventure R is the ultimate travel enduro for adventures on all the world's roads.

»If required, not only can it be switched off, but Also placed in offroad mode

»Complex computation algorithms Contribute to the prevention of endos

Offroad modes:

Offroad mode Allows the rider to block the rear wheel as and when required - a prerequisite for dedicated off-road riding and deliberately executed slides. The ABS function remains active on the front wheel, even in offroad mode.

MTC (MOTORCYCLE TRACTION CONTROL)

As an integral part of the MSC package, MTC (Motorcycle Traction Control) regulates Also subject to the angle of lean. It guarantees a sporty yet completely controllable propulsion on all surfaces. Its intervention is indicated resources with a flashing LED in the completely new VDO multi-function display. For different levels of permissible rear-wheel slip, the disengageable MTC system Provides four different modes, selected in connection with the engine modes using the multifunctional switch on the left handlebar grip. Developed in close collaboration with Bosch, it reacts in a matter of milliseconds if the rear wheel begins to rotate too Rapidly for the riding conditions. It also makes use of the quick intervention time of the ride-by-wire system to reduce propulsion to a safe level, subject to the angle of lean. Depending on the MTC mode, the EMS (Engine Management System) Also makes available a suitable level of power - for example, "only" 100 instead of 150 hp in rain mode.

MTC Four different modes are activated by changing the engine modes:

»Sport: Something for the Courageous to try: Allows a respectable and perceptible amount of slippage - drift-feeling all-inclusive!

»Street: Smooth control for comfortable, undisturbed riding with full engine power.

»Rain: Early intervention and minimum slippage in the wet, with engine power reduced to a maximum of 100 hp.

»Offroad: Up to 100 per cent slippage - ie double wheel speed - for ambitious offroad use. Have a go at offroad controlled drifts, with engine power reduced to a maximum of 100 hp.

»Off: Those who know better than the MTC can enjoy maximum propulsion at all times, completely to reviews Reviews their individual tastes, without electronic assistance.
