2014 KTM 1190 Adventure R

The 2014 KTM 1190 Adventure R is a landmark adventure-touring motorcycle that significantly evolved KTM’s lineup by blending high-performance street refinement with class-leading off-road capability. It was famously the first motorcycle to feature Bosch Motorcycle Stability Control (MSC), which introduced lean-angle-sensitive cornering ABS. Key Specifications & Performance The “R” model is distinguished by its orange frame, crash bars, and manual suspension, tailored for riders who prioritize dirt performance.
