2014 Ktm 1190 Adventure, The Aventure antee just got raised!! - As the worlds very first motorcycles, the 2014 KTM 1190 ADVENTURE and 1190 ADVENTURE R feature a truly revolutionary rider assistance system: the riding dynamics control MSC. This system makes a long held dream come true – an ABS that even works perfectly while cornering. Technology leader Only a few years ago, KTM was considered as a newcomer in the street bike segment. However, KTM reached – in typical orange style – the technological forefront on the double and gains the innovative lead for MY14 as meanwhile Europes largest motorcycle manufacturer. KTM-BOSCH-Innovation This step in development, the new MSC is a milestone in the motorcycle industry and would not have been possible without outstanding partners. Jointly developed with BOSCH, the Motorcycle Stability Control (MSC) supports the rider of the 1190 ADVENTURE together with the Combined Antilock Braking System (C-ABS) and the Motorcycle Traction Control (MTC) in a multitude of ways – of course within the limits of physics, just as any assistance system: MSC can prevent the wheels from slipping when braking while leaning over. MSC minimises the righting moment when braking while leaning over. MSC prevents rolling over in emergency stops. MSC prevents rear wheel skids when accelerating while leaning over. MSC prevents rising of the front wheel while accelerating. This means it is the perfect premise for maximum dynamism and pure riding fun, combined with the confidence brought by optimum safety. And the perfect complement of the high tech package that KTM put on wheels in the 1190 ADVENTURE with a previously unheard-of development effort. Ground breaking technologies, uncompromising transfer of knowledge from racing, and not least a whole load of cutting-edge electronic assistance systems have ensured the 150hp, 230kg light 1190 ADVENTURE defines new standards for travel enduros on tarmac as well as off-road, releasing rapturous excitement with industry media and riders alike. With its unbeatably low weight, its superior dynamics and its exemplary safety, the 1190 ADVENTURE upholds all the traditional core company values of KTM. And with great touring capabilities, versatility and razor sharp precision, it has to fear no opponent on tarmac. The powerful, economical and refined 75° V2 powerplant with electronic, ride-by-wire engine management system offers everything a top-class travel enduro needs: plenty of power even at low engine speeds, a solid mid-range punch for touring with a full load, and great maximum power and response whenever it really counts.
