The 2025 KTM 1390 SUPER ADVENTURE S stands as an unparalleled Adventure Sports motorcycle, designed for those seeking increased speed, advanced technology, and heightened power. In KTM’s ADVENTURE lineup, the “S” designation signifies a street-focused model, and for 2025, the KTM 1390 SUPER ADVENTURE S is packed with cutting-edge technological and mechanical upgrades tailored for Adventure motorcyclists.
Compared to the flagship KTM 1390 SUPER ADVENTURE S EVO, the S model features a traditional clutch and manual gearbox, appealing to riders who prefer a more hands-on riding experience. The 5th-generation Front Radar is also available as an optional addition. Updates in 2025 include redesigned bodywork, a new LED headlight, a more refined windshield, and additional storage compartments. The frame has increased stiffness, enhancing handling and stability, while footpegs are positioned 8 mm lower and 10 mm wider, boosting rider comfort.
Similar to the KTM 1390 SUPER ADVENTURE S EVO, the S model incorporates WP’s latest Semi-Active Technology (SAT), now equipped with precise Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) sensors and a through-rod fork structure, providing improved damping and handling dynamics.
The engine size is expanded from 1,300 to 1,350 cc, delivering 173 PS at 9,500 rpm and 145 Nm at 8,000 rpm. Reengineered components and the new CAMSHIFT technology improve low-range rideability, high peak performance, and maintain lower emissions and fuel consumption.
CAMSHIFT technology introduces variable-valve timing with dual cam profiles. At higher revs, the inlet cams shift to allow more gas flow for increased performance, while at lower revs, reduced valve timing and lift enhance rideability for both city roads and high-speed conditions.
The KTM 1390 SUPER ADVENTURE S also debuts KTM’s new premium electronics suite, featuring the V80 portrait-mounted touchscreen TFT dashboard. This screen uses inductive technology, operable even with thick gloves, with anti-reflective, anti-fingerprint, and anti-glare coatings for optimal readability. This dashboard provides access to new RIDE MODES, connectivity features, and an optional Adaptive Cruise Control upgrade with Brake Assistance, Collision Warning, and Distance Warning.
Engineered primarily for street performance, the 2025 KTM 1390 SUPER ADVENTURE S also delivers impressive off-road capability, offering riders all the technology, power, and handling necessary for any cross-border adventure.
