You can always go one step further, and in this case it is the prestigious trainer Roland Sands who does it with the KTM 1290 Super Adventure, prepared for the Paris-Dakar.
We already know that this is not at all the cylinder capacity chosen to participate in tests on desert sand, but theoretically it could be… Imagination to the power!
That is why Roland Sands Desing makes its own interpretation of this extremely powerful machine fully equipped for the sea of dunes. At first glance, the spectacular design that Airtrix has made based on the RedBull colors is striking. To this we must add some carbon fiber side panels, a redesigned seat and different components that reinforce the model.
Thus, we highlight the kit of conical bearings for the steering, the Scottweiler Performance intake kit or the folding mirrors.
To make the most of the benefits, Arrow titanium manifolds and SC Project exhaust are mounted. And to get the most out of them, injection adjustments are made adjust the injection.
Other changes aimed at improving the chassis and ergonomics are, for example, the Pro Taper EVO handlebar with “Carmichael” bend and the BRP ISO handlebar riser with Scotts steering stabilizer. The brake and clutch levers are ASV and the Baja Designs Full LED lighting system incorporates auxiliary lights.
But wait there is more. A jewel for the most gourmets. The wheel hubs are Haan billet and the Excel Takasago rims. These are characterized by having oversized stainless steel radii. For its part, de Galfer takes the best of its catalog in discs and brake pads; leaving the brake calipers for Brembo, with its spectacular GP4RX with nickel treatment.
To finish off the KTM 1290 Super Adventure by Roland Sands we find an Antigravity lithium battery and countless accessories from the KTM optional catalogue.
