Motorrad (03/2013, D)
”RALLY EXPRESS. Redefined from scratch, with increased performance and up-to-date electronics, the new KTM 1190 Adventure reaches out for the leading position in travel enduro segment.”

MOTORRAD (03/2013,D)
„The ergonomics are outstandingly good: Hip and knees are comfortably bent, the upper body upright, the conical handlebar – like the footpegs adjustable in two positions – is not to wide and fits perfectly.”

1000ps.at (02/1012, AT)
“The beginning of a new Era. KTM powers through and leaves the competitors behind.”

MCN (02/2013, GB)
“Is this the most versatile bike in the world? KTM´s do-it-all 1190 has the potential to outpace a Multistrada and out-adventure a GS…”   

MCN (02/2013, GB) 
“It ticks all the boxes, has true off-road potential and is faster, lighter and easier to manage than any of its true adventure rivals”

MOTOCICLISMO (02/2013, I)
”KTM 1190 Adventure: Multistrada performance, GS versatility.”

Bike (04/2013, GB)
“Adventure Sportsbike. Boasting 148 bhp and a 155mph top speed, KTM´s new 1190 Adventure wears the fastest wire wheels in the world. And it does a whole lot more besides, too.” 

Bike (04/2013, GB)
“The star of the whole experience is the 1190´s motor. Power is a claimes 148bhp making it every bit as absurdly potent as, say, a Ducati 999R or ZZ-R1100” 

Bike (04/2013, GB)
“It´s not only the fastest adventure bike  ever, but also the most civilised and sophisticated road bike KTM have ever made.” 

Motorcycle Sport & Leisure (04/2013, GB), Coverpage
“KTM´s Super Adventure. MORE POWER THAN A FIREBLADE, MORE FUN THAN A WEEK IN VEGAS. AND NOW IT HANDLES.”

“THE NEW GS-KILLER“

(Motorwereld, B)
"With the 1190 Adventure, KTM has build a bike that deserves without question a spot next to the established values in the segment of the travel enduro's." 

(Ride Magazine, GB)
“First impressions are very good. Finish seems high quality, components are top drawer and it’s a well packaged, good looking machine” 

(Ride Magazine, GB)
“It becomes very easy to ride the 1190 Adventure very fast” 

(Visordown, GB) 
“It bears the core values of a KTM: fast, agile and focused. There’s mayhem bubbling away in there but with a sophisticated electronics package it’s being kept under control” 

(Motorcycle Monthly, GB)
“Lithe, light, lively and the right side of lairy: the new 1190 Adventure is possibly the best all-rounder available right now” 

(Motorcycle Monthly, GB)
“It enhances the model’s traditional attributes of lively performance and agile handling, then adds refinement and comfort to create a stunningly quick and enjoyable machine” 

(On Track Off Road, GB)
“The Adventure is a brilliantly quick and versatile roadster that retains some off-road ability” 

(Moto.it)
“Just ride a few kilometers to understand the goodness of the final result achieved by the 1190: the only bike now able to combine the convenience and the sweetness of use of a BMW GS with the performance of a monstrous Ducati Multistrada.”  

(Motociclismo, I)
“The traction control is simply outstanding, way better than that of the BMW GS: it works with greater sweetness and timely, and it is never invasive.”

(Motociclismo, I)
“The bike has 150 CV but, with 137 liters of luggage space, is able to be a real tourer.”

(In Sella, I)
“The new Adventure is very powerful (150 hp) and effective, but also easy to handle and balanced thanks to the complete and perfectly developed electronic equipment.” 

(In Sella, I)
“With a sporting DNA, the 1190 Adventure shows a remarkable maneuverability and unexpected agility on the turns. It will be formidable competitor for the naked and sports bike on the street.”

(Due Ruote)
“We discover a very funny and effective motorcycle. The braking system performs outstanding, with an ABS function always present, but not too invasive.”
