KTM Malaysia Unleashes Next-Gen Flagship Lineup: A Deep Dive into the 1390 Super Adventure Series
KTM Malaysia, through its official importer and distributor Eurotech Group (ETG), has officially expanded its premium footprint by introducing its highly anticipated, new-generation flagship range. Headlining this launch is the powerhouse KTM 1390 Super Adventure Series, consisting of three distinct variants tailored for long-distance touring, hardcore off-road exploration, and high-tech automatic riding.
Brought to the local market with an impressive 4-Year Unlimited Mileage Warranty, this lineup represents KTM’s ultimate pursuit of next-level adventure performance.
The Common Core: Massive 1,350 cc V-Twin Power
While each model targets a specific riding discipline, all three variants share a thoroughly redesigned engine platform. KTM has bumped the displacement from the previous 1,301 cc up to a massive 1,350 cc V-twin engine.
Depending on the variant, this engine churns out up to an engineering-forward 175 horsepower and 145 Nm of torque, providing effortless overtaking power even when fully loaded with luggage and a pillion rider. Furthermore, KTM has doubled the mechanical durability of the powertrain, offering a massive 60,000 km maintenance interval for valve clearance adjustments—effectively cutting service downtimes in half compared to older generations.

- Official Pricing: BSP RM 144,000
Designed for riders who prioritize long-distance road comfort but demand the versatility to tackle light gravel trails, the Super Adventure S focuses heavily on high-speed touring dynamics.
Key Features:
- WP Semi-Active Technology (SAT): The intelligent electronic suspension continuously monitors the terrain and automatically adjusts dampening on the fly to maximize stability and comfort.
- Enhanced Aerodynamics: Features an improved windshield boasting an additional 15 mm of adjustability, vastly reducing helmet buffeting on high-speed highway stretches.
- Next-Gen Cockpit: An expansive 8-inch portrait-orientated TFT touchscreen includes offline map navigation and glove-friendly controls.

2. KTM 1390 Super Adventure R: The Pure Off-Road Master
- Official Pricing: BSP RM 146,500
For riders who view the end of the asphalt as just the beginning, the Super Adventure R strips away road-biased compromises to create the most off-road-capable heavy dual-sport on the market. It gets a slight power advantage, delivering a full 175 PS.
Key Features:
- WP XPLOR Mechanical Suspension: Replaces the electronic setup with robust mechanical components engineered to absorb harsh, high-impact hits over unpredictable, technical terrain.
- Enduro Ergonomics: Outfitted with an off-road-focused short windscreen for an unobstructed forward view, alongside a sleek single-unit rally seat that allows complete freedom of movement when standing on the pegs.

3. KTM 1390 Super Adventure S Evo: The Tech Showcase

Sitting firmly at the apex of the range, the Super Adventure S Evo is a technological tour de force. It takes the premium touring foundation of the “S” model and elevates it with revolutionary automated transmission and radar-assisted rider aids.
Key Features:

Riders can effortlessly toggle between fully automatic cruising or sharp manual shifting via handlebar paddle triggers or the foot lever.
