2012 KTM 990 Adventure R
THE NATURE OF SUPERIORITY
Easily recognized by its orange powder coated frame, the 990
Adventure R has been one of the major highlights of the KTM line-up as of
MY2009. Its LC8 V2, as powerful as it is compact, delivers a whopping 115
PS. Welded from chrome-molybdenum steel sections, the extremely rigid chassis
is equipped with high quality, fully adjustable and carefully tuned suspension
components made by WP in Austria. Numerous practical solutions
like the lockable compartment between the tanks, the immobilizer and the hazard
warning lights make clear that even the representative of the sporty KTM R
fraction is at heart a true member of the Adventure family. The low weight
as well as a design that maximises ruggedness and reliability manage to convince
even the most demanding longdistance riders. In MY2011, a slightly lowered
seat and suspension, compounded by an altered set-up, make for a lower center
of gravity perfect for a sensational ride on any kind of road and beyond.
