We admit it; we're smitten by the whole ADV bike segment. And as this category grows, the products just seem to get better and better. Take, for example, KTM's brand-new 1290 Super Adventure, which has an updated version of the 1290 Super Duke R's awesome 1,301cc, 75-degree V-twin stuffed into a chassis that features WP semi-active suspension. With a quiver of other first-for-the-brand features such as LED cornering lights, Hill Hold Control, and electronic engine braking control, the KTM 1290 Super Adventure has become the Austrian company's flagship model. Here, take a ride with Cycle World Senior Editor Blake Conner as he threads this awesome new machine through the twists and turns of Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands.
