Engineered by KTM for the allround motorcycle segment, the 2016 KTM 1190 Adventure features a 1195 cc (72.9 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 150 HP (109.5 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 125.5 HP per liter, the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the 1190 Adventure measures 230 kg (507 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.65 HP/kg (1.53 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 860 mm (33.9 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,560 mm (61.4 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 23-liter (6.1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
