In order not to let Ducati have the niche all to themselves, with the newly-revealed Multistrada ‘Granturismo’, KTM have inadvertently previewed a rival bike - the 1190 Adventure. The very picture was reportedly posed officially by KTM, only for it to be taken down shortly afterward.
However, the picture was saved, and it not only shows the design of the bike, but also several important technical facts about it, like the fact that its engine churns out 150 hp, and the entire bike weighs 235 kg wet. It also features ride-by-wire controls, ABS, traction control, four selectable driving modes, as well as an adjustable windscreen, we must admit, it is pretty well covered for kit.
So far, no further details have been realeased, but it should be launched around the same time as the aforementioned Ducati, as KTM will definitely want a piece of its action, and with a competent-looking bike like the Adventure, we do get why.
