1. GLOBAL PREMIERE: KTM 1050 ADVENTURE
A bike perfectly calibrated to all who love a dynamic travel enduro, and place importance on
reasonable purchase and ownership costs, but who are unwilling to do without a generous
measure of power and modern equipment.
Based on the same first-rate technology platform as its sister models, the new KTM 1050
ADVENTURE has a different engine, which may have less displacement and power but has
lost neither its refinement nor its fizzy punch thanks to elaborate adaptations. ABS and
traction control are standard here as well.
The value conscious, the all-rounders, the gourmets, the connoisseurs, the I-take-my-bike-everywhere
riders – for all of them, four great KTM protagonists form a coherent and
complete ADVENTURE family and the most attractive model range in the whole travel
enduro segment in 2015.
KTM 1050 ADVENTURE
If you are one of those people who think that less can be more with a travel enduro, that
touring is mainly about agility, straightforward functionality and absolute predictability, but
you still would not want to miss out on the typical KTM virtues and technological progress
per se, then the new KTM 1050 ADVENTURE is the bike for you. At 95 hp of power out of
1,050 cc of displacement and at 212 kg of weight, it has an exemplary power-to-weight ratio,
as well as a fuel mileage that goes easy on your wallet and also allows for a great range. In
addition, the refined V2 engine with a state-of-the-art engine management and ride-by-wire
throttle offers everything that a top quality travel enduro needs. And with first-rate WP
Suspension components and the unsurpassed brakes by global market leader Brembo, the
chassis easily copes with all challenges arising from the wide range of missions the KTM
1050 Adventure is capable of.
EVERYTHING ENDURO TRAVELLERS NEED
Even though the concept of the 1050 is based on a certain restraint and a return back to the
original values of the Adventure concept, the entry level bike of KTM's Travel range cannot
really be seen as a technologically reduced or sparsely equipped motorbike. For example,
the KTM 1050 ADVENTURE would not deserve to be among the MY 2015 Adventure
models without KTM Ride Mode technology, ABS and a traction control that allows more or
less slippage on the rear wheel depending on the chosen ride mode. Those who think this
proposal still does not quite cover all their bases might find the comprehensive KTM range of
accessories has what they are looking for to upgrade the KTM 1050 ADVENTURE to their
individual specification. From the luggage system to heated seats and grips to an alarm
system, the PowerParts program has everything that touring riders might like, no matter if
they plan to use their KTM 1050 ADVENTURE for short weekend trips, long holiday journeys
or extended adventure travelling.
THE KTM PHILOSOPHY IN A NUTSHELL
The scope of the KTM 1050 ADVENTURE spans the complete bandwidth from enjoyable
cruising to aggressive corner surfing, from commuting to holiday trips and even excursions
into the fascinating world beyond the tarmac. With its unbeatably low weight, its impressive
riding dynamics and its exemplary safety, it is a paragon of all the traditional KTM virtues.
And since it is such an exceedingly capable touring bike, highly versatile and with razor
sharp precision, it does not have to fear a single one of its competitors. Not the least in view

2. of its price, it is a top choice for all purists as well as riders buying their first travel enduro,
and thanks to an optional power restriction kit, it is even for beginners with A2 licences.'
