The 1290 Super Adventure S (and the rest of the 1290 range) is powered by a beastly 1,301 cc V twin engine, which produces an apparent 160 hp and 101 lb-ft of torque – sure to get you wherever you’re going as fast as (safely) possible! The bike also still uses the same chain drive attached to a 6-speed gearbox and a power-assisted slipper clutch.
As of January, Katoomers around the world will have a refreshed 1290 Super Adventure S for the Team Orange ranks!. For 2023, the Super Adventure S’s 1,301cc, LC8 V-twin is still made in Austria (as far as we know), with a very nice 160hp and 138 Nm of torque punting through the liquid-cooled heart, cushioning duties carried out by WP Semi-Active Suspension hardware, and a six-speed gearbox
