Rider Profile

Best For	This bike suits an experienced rider comfortable managing a powerful, tall, and torquey V-twin with a lot of electronic sophistication.
Purpose	It's built as a do-it-all adventure-touring machine that excels on fast sweeping roads and long-distance rides while retaining light off-road capability.
Rider Fit	Riders benefit from decent height and strength to manage the tall seat, 220 kg dry weight, and the bike's presence at low speeds or off-road.
Character	It has a sporty, muscular V-twin character with strong midrange torque, semi-active suspension refinement, and a premium, tech-laden feel.
Not Ideal For	It's not ideal for short or novice riders seeking a light, low-seat commuter bike or dedicated hardcore off-road use.

Feet:

At 860mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2020 KTM 1290 Super Adventure S, with a relaxed knee angle of around 140 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
