The eyes of the motorcycling world are focused on Cologne, Germany, and KTM->ke1954 is taking advantage of this opportunity to reveal its expanded adventure-bike->ke5318 line to the world. Always a winner in the dirt, KTM is digging in even deeper with these new travel-enduro->ke3133 bikes.

Continue reading for more information on KTM's new Adventure bikes.

1090 Adventure

First up, we have KTM's new entry-level, “travel-enduro” in the form of the 1090 Adventure family. The 1090 Adventure comes set up to favor the black surfaces more than the brown, while the 1090 Adventure “R” is the polar opposite as it comes with a fairly dirt-tacular set of features to include beefed-up suspension components and Conti TKC knobbies, plus the ability to deactivate the rear ABS to allow for some dirt-sliding fun.

1290 Super Adventure

Next on tap from KTM is the 1290 Super Adventure family. This pair of siblings covers all bases between them with the Super Adventure “T” tackling the urban roads and the “R” model tearing up the trails. Both run the same 160-horsepower, 1,301 cc plant and same basic layout, but the “R” model comes with optional Travel Pack that adds a race-tastic Quickshifter that allows for clutchless shifting, Hill-Hold Control for some terrain safety and more.

I'll be taking a better look at all three -- as long as my wife doesn't beat me to it -- once the smoke clears from the show, but this expanded adventure-bike range signals an escalation in KTM's fight to secure a chunk of this still-growing market.
