The KTM 1390 SUPER ADVENTURE R sits at the top of the off-road adventure food chain and obliterates all challengers. The KTM 1390 SUPER ADVENTURE R provides off-grid adventure motorcyclists with the ideal platform to travel beyond the beaten track. 

For 2025, the KTM 1390 SUPER ADVENTURE R features an all-new bodywork design, LED lighting, a shorter, more offroad-focused windshield and more storage binnacles. The 2025 KTM 1390 SUPER ADVENTURE R sees an increase in frame stiffness, improving handling and track stability. A reworked crash bar — fitted as standard on the SUPER ADVENTURE R — has also been stiffened up to provide better protection thanks to an additional arm towards the engine bracket. 

Unlike the KTM 1390 SUPER ADVENTURE S and S EVO, the KTM 1390 SUPER ADVENTURE R is fitted with a more traditional suspension setup better suited to harder off-road use with a 48-millimeter WP XPLOR split cartridge fork and WP’s XPLOR Progressive Damping System shock, taking care of duties at the rear end.

Engine displacement is increased from 1,300 to 1,350 cc, producing a staggering 173 horsepower at 9,500 rpm and 145 nanometers at 8,000 rpm with all-new CAMSHIFT technology, providing improved rideability in the low rpm range. This makes for a smoother response when negotiating tight trails. 

The innovative CAMSHIFT technology provides variable-valve timing with two individual cam profiles. At higher revs, the inlet cams shift sideways, opening the valves longer and higher for more gas flow into the cylinder head, which drastically increases performance, while in the lower rev range, the inlet cams have a reduced valve timing and lift. This results in a noticeable increase in rideability in both normal road conditions around town and high-performance use on faster, open roads. 

The KTM 1390 SUPER ADVENTURE R also receives KTM’s new premium electronics package with an all-new eight-inch vertical-mounted dashboard. The eight-inch touchscreen features inductive technology, allowing easy operation — even when wearing thick winter or off-road gloves. The screen also features innovative anti-reflex, anti-fingerprint and anti-glare coating which improves overall readability, as well as giving riders access to new RIDE MODES, built-in navigation and connectivity features. 

The new 2025 KTM 1390 SUPER ADVENTURE R will be rolling off the Austrian production line in 2025.

2025 Ducati Multistrada V2 https://www.motorcyclepowersportsnews.com/ducati-multistrada-v2/ Wed, 11 Dec 2024 19:00:00 +0000 https://www.motorcyclepowersportsnews.com/?p=204031 The completely redesigned mid-size crossover sets new benchmarks for lightness, handling and ease of riding.

The post 2025 Ducati Multistrada V2 appeared first on Motorcycle & Powersports News.

]]>
For the 8th episode of the 2025 Ducati World Premier, Ducati unveiled the new Multistrada V2, a mid-size crossover designed for fans of twin-cylinder engines. The 2025 model significantly improves lightness, handling and ease of riding. The new Multistrada V2 keeps its 19-inch front wheel, ensuring safety and fun even on rough pavement, but it has been completely redesigned around the new twin-cylinder V2 engine, becoming even more accessible and enjoyable to ride.

Thanks to a design inspired by the pursuit of maximum lightness, focused on the monocoque frame and the new Ducati V2 engine, the Multistrada V2 is 40 pounds lighter than its predecessor. Its weight of 439 pounds (wet, without fuel) makes it the lightest in its class, enhancing maneuverability and low-speed handling, even when fully loaded. Combined with the broad power delivery of the variable-valve twin-cylinder, an advanced electronics package and careful ergonomic and aerodynamic engineering, the Multistrada V2 transforms every ride into an unforgettable journey.

Design

The design of the new V2 draws inspiration from the stylistic concepts that have defined the history of the Multistrada family: horizontally balanced volumes, a light and short tail, and a front area characterized by sporty lines, emphasized by the side panels that enhance the front end. The shoulder surfaces, front masses, and the “beak” — historically distinctive features of the Multistrada — have been made more harmonious.

Like all Ducatis, the Multistrada V2 combines design and functionality. The Centro Stile Ducati defined its lines in close collaboration with R&D technicians to integrate aerodynamic solutions into the design, improving thermal comfort and protection from the elements.

The windshield, highly protective and adjustable in height, was developed through careful aerodynamic research that also involved the deflectors which are integrated into the front design.

As on the Multistrada V4, lateral air conveyors have been introduced for thermal comfort. These upwash conveyors are integrated into the bike’s design and help direct fresh air to the rider’s legs.

The new headlights and DRL, inspired by the latest-generation Panigale and Multistrada V4, contribute to a compact and aggressive front view that is immediately recognizable. The shorter “beak” integrates seamlessly with the windshield, creating a more harmonious image. The direction indicators, thin and harmonized with the side panel design, have been completely redesigned and repositioned to offer optimal visibility and allow fresh air to flow toward the rider.

The tail is slim and light, thanks to a shorter rear grab handle that has been completely redesigned to ensure functionality and ergonomics.

Ergonomics and Comfort

The ergonomics of the Multistrada V2 have been completely revised with great attention to comfort. The rider and passenger seats have been redesigned, and passenger roominess has been improved compared to the previous model regarding legroom and torso space, thanks to the repositioned top box and side case attachments.

To allow the rider to rest their feet on the ground safely, the new Multistrada V2 is equipped with a seat that can be adjusted to two positions, with heights of 33.5 and 32.7 inches. The Ducati Performance catalog also offers an accessory seat raised to 34.3 inches, and one lowered to 31.9 inches. On the S version, thanks to the semi-active Ducati Skyhook Suspension (DSS) and the Minimum Preload system, it is possible to lower the seat to 31.1 inches.

New Ducati V2 Engine

The new Multistrada V2 is equipped with the Ducati V2 engine, a 90° V-twin with a displacement of 890 cc, featuring IVT variable intake valve timing and a coil spring valve recall system. This compact and lightweight engine — weighing only 121.1 pounds — significantly reduces the bike’s overall weight. This configuration delivers 115 horsepower at 10,750 rpm and 67.9 pound-feet of torque at 8,250 rpm.

Thanks to variable valve timing, the V2 engine optimizes performance, power delivery and fuel efficiency. High-rev power is combined with sustained torque delivery at low and mid-range revs. More than 70% of the maximum torque is already available at 3,500 rpm, and between 3,500 and 11,000 rpm, the torque never drops below 75%. This combines more consistent combustion at low revs, ensuring smoother power delivery at small throttle openings. The larger flywheel enhances riding comfort, especially in touring or traffic, by providing a smoother throttle response.

Finally, the gear ratios are specifically designed for the Multistrada, with shorter first and second gears to improve usability at low speeds and enhance full-load acceleration. The gearbox features the new Ducati Quick Shift 2.0, delivering a more precise pedal feel and faster gear changes.

Completely Redesigned Chassis

To enhance comfort and riding pleasure on any route, the new Multistrada V2 features a completely redesigned frame, rear subframe and swingarm, embracing the same construction philosophy as the Multistrada V4. The frame is an aluminum monocoque that uses the engine as a stressed element, the rear subframe is a steel trellis and the swingarm is cast aluminum. Combined with the new V2 engine, these improvements bring the Multistrada to an exceptionally low weight: only 439 pounds (in running order without fuel) for the V2 version and 445 pounds for the V2 S version equipped with semi-active suspension.

Thanks to a complete redesign and the monocoque frame solution, Ducati engineers have created a slim bike with a narrow fit, making placing your feet on the ground easier. Additionally, the contact area between the knees and inner thighs and the bike’s surfaces has been optimized, enhancing riding pleasure and control at high speeds. With its updated ergonomics, the new Multistrada V2 requires less handlebar effort to lean and delivers more neutral behavior when entering and navigating curves.

The Multistrada V2 has a Marzocchi fork featuring 45-millimeter tubes and a Sachs shock absorber with a progressive link, both fully adjustable. The Multistrada V2 S is fitted with semi-active suspension with DSS electronic control, further enhancing comfort, safety and performance. New electronic strategies limit diving during braking (anti-dive) and reduce the tendency to “sit” during acceleration (anti-squat), ensuring precise handling.

Additionally, the Minimum Preload function allows the rear suspension to be lowered with a button, making it easier to place your feet on the ground, especially when fully loaded or riding with a passenger. As with the new Multistrada V4, the suspension modes can be adjusted independently of the riding modes, enabling riders to select their preferred suspension calibration while maintaining the same electronic control settings and engine response.

Both versions of the Multistrada V2 are equipped with a 19-inch front wheel paired with a 17-inch rear wheel, fitted with Pirelli Scorpion Trail II tires, and offer 6.7 inches (170 millimeteres) of suspension travel to ensure versatility and a superior riding experience. The Brembo braking system features dual 12.6-inch (320-millimeter) front discs and a single 10.4-inch (265-millimeter) rear disc, delivering top-tier performance.

Benchmark Electronics Package

The new Multistrada V2 boasts a complete electronics package, manageable via redesigned handlebar controls and the new five-inch TFT color dashboard, with a completely revamped multilingual interface based on three different Infomodes.

The five available riding modes (Sport, Touring, Urban, Enduro and Wet) offer the possibility of adapting the Multistrada V2 to any situation, setting the engine power and response to pre-configured and modifiable values, thanks to the four power modes with which the engine is equipped. The riding modes, of course, set the cornering ABS, Ducati Traction Control (DTC), Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC) and Engine Brake Control (EBC) to pre-defined levels, which the rider can modify.

The three Infomodes (Road, Road Pro and Rally) allow you to make the most of the dashboard’s capabilities, changing the information displayed to offer the rider the best riding experience in every situation. Road Pro, for example, provides the percentage of power and torque used in real-time.

Finally, the Ducati Multistrada V2 is equipped as standard with cruise control, a USB socket integrated into the dashboard, the Ducati Brake Light EVO (which manages emergency flashing in sudden braking) and, in the case of the V2 S, the Ducati Multimedia System, with the possibility of activating the turn-by-turn navigator accessory. Furthermore, the new Coming Home function keeps the low beams active when the ignition is turned off, illuminating the area in front of the bike and making home entry easier.

Accessories and Availability

A wide range of accessories allows you to customize your Multistrada V2 to suit diverse needs. Plastic cases with a capacity of 15.8 gallons (60 liters) or aluminum cases with a capacity of 20.1 gallons (76 liters) are mounted on the bike with floating attachments to enhance stability and safety. Steel guards help minimize damage in the event of a slide. At the same time, the center stand makes maintenance and loading tasks easier.

For adventure enthusiasts, spoked wheels are available, increasing the Multistrada V2’s versatility and enabling it to tackle off-road terrain when the pavement ends. Riders wishing to enhance their Multistrada V2’s exhaust sound can choose from various options Termignoni offers.

The new Multistrada V2 will be available in two versions: the standard V2 and the V2 S, which feature DSS semi-active suspension. The standard version is offered in Ducati Red, while the V2 S comes in Storm Green or Ducati Red. Additionally, the V2 S provides an optional travel trim, which includes plastic side cases, a center stand and heated grips.

The new Ducati Multistrada V2 will arrive at dealerships in the U.S. in March 2025. Pricing for the Multistrada V2 will be $15,995 and start at $19,295 for the V2 S model in the U.S.

The post 2025 KTM 890 ADVENTURE R appeared first on Motorcycle & Powersports News.

]]>
The KTM 890 ADVENTURE R nameplate is well-known, and for good reason. Off-road excellence and next-level capabilities have made it the go-to machine for hardcore adventure riders. 

Taking cues from the Dakar-winning KTM 450 RALLY, the WP suspension package on the 2025 KTM 890 ADVENTURE R features time-proven hardware on each end, with a WP XPLOR 48-millimeter fork and a WP XPLOR PDS rear shock getting the job done.

Aesthetically, the KTM 890 ADVENTURE R also leans on its KTM 450 RALLY stable mate with a low windshield, high front fender, rally-styled bodywork and enhanced body protection. Rider comfort hasn’t been forgotten, however, with the offroad-focused single-piece seat emphasizing mobility and grip in addition to a revitalized graphics set for 2025 finishing its appearance. 

The 2025 KTM 890 ADVENTURE R might have new graphics but retains and enhances its proven hardware underneath. For 2025, the Connectivity Unit is included as standard to enable connection between the KTMconnect app and the TFT via Bluetooth for Turn-by-Turn+ navigation, music and incoming calls. 

Adventure with even more confidence thanks to an increased manufacturer’s warranty, which is doubled for the 2025 model year, going from 12 months to 24 months of coverage.

The post 2025 KTM 790 ADVENTURE appeared first on Motorcycle & Powersports News.

Thanks to a slew of upgrades on the 2024 model, the latest generation KTM 790 ADVENTURE is more stable, more comfortable, and it benefits from class-leading electronic rider features. 

Reworked throttle bodies also brought cleaner, more efficient fueling and enhanced combustion, and a “knock control” sensor afforded improved capacity for lower octane fuel. The 2024 package included a reworked power assist slipper clutch, with new friction plates and an airbox that ensures improved breathing. 

For 2025, to take the KTM 790 ADVENTURE to the next level, the suspension has received a welcomed upgrade, with the adjustable 43-millimeter WP APEX open cartridge front fork and WP APEX shock absorber taken directly from the KTM 890 ADVENTURE. 

Up front, split function technology separates the compression and rebound damping between the two fork legs thanks to rebound and compression damping adjusters on the top cap of each fork leg. This allows for a more precise setup when riding two-up or more extreme offroad trails. 

The adjustable WP APEX shock absorber features 200-millimeter suspension travel with a rebound damping adjuster and a hand adjuster for the spring preload. This allows for easy alterations to the shock behavior in different riding situations. 

The 2025 KTM 790 ADVENTURE also enjoys a wide KTM PowerParts collection, catering to protection, performance or aesthetic add-ons. Two new dynamic and eye-catching colorways complete the package. 

The new KTM 790 ADVENTURE will be available at authorized KTM dealers in March of 2025. For more information, visit ktm.com.

The BKX300S is equipped with radial tires in a 17-inch front wheel and 17-inch rear wheel combination, while the BKX300 maintains the same 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheel combination as seen on Benelli’s larger adventure motorcycles.

2025 Aprilia Tuareg Rally https://www.motorcyclepowersportsnews.com/2025-aprilia-tuareg-rally/ Wed, 13 Nov 2024 22:00:00 +0000 https://www.motorcyclepowersportsnews.com/?p=203784 A specialized Tuareg has arrived, closely derived from the competition version, to satisfy the most demanding enduro riders and deliver maximum performance and fun on any terrain.

The post 2025 Aprilia Tuareg Rally appeared first on Motorcycle & Powersports News.

Following a remarkable sporting journey that saw it triumph on its debut in the Africa Eco Race — the grueling rally-raid that retraces the routes of the legendary African Dakar — Aprilia presented at EICMA 2024 the Tuareg Rally, an adventure bike dedicated to peak off-road performance and, in many respects, very close to the competition version that, with Jacopo Cerutti in the seat, was crowned Queen of Africa.

The Aprilia Tuareg Rally was developed based on the invaluable experience gained by Aprilia Racing in creating the Tuareg racing bike in technical collaboration with the Guareschi brothers’ GCorse. Building on the already excellent off-road capabilities of the standard Tuareg, this bike quickly became the new benchmark for twin-cylinder adventure bikes. It clinched the 2023 Italian Motorally Championship with Jacopo Cerutti — who retained the title this year — before astonishing everyone on its debut in the desert dunes, dominating the Africa Eco Race from the first stage to the legendary finish line at Dakar’s Lac Rose.

An Aprilia Racing official rider, Jacopo Cerutti also contributed to the development of the Aprilia Tuareg Rally. “It was fascinating to be involved in developing a production model like the new Tuareg Rally,” commented the rider from Como. “The goal was to make it as similar as possible to the bike with which we won the Africa Eco Race, and I can say we succeeded. The Tuareg was already an excellent starting point for problem-free off-road riding, but with the Rally version, we’ve taken it a step further, coming very close to a full rally-raid bike. With the right tires, it can easily take you over the desert dunes. My experience has been particularly useful in providing feedback on the electronics, leading to the creation of a new engine map that delivers quicker and more decisive throttle response, and in the chassis adjustments, with a fork that offers better support and a shock absorber that absorbs potholes at speed more effectively, improving the bike’s overall stability.”

A Production Motorbike With a Racing Soul

The distinctly off-road character of the Tuareg Rally is immediately evident, with its high mudguard and a new, thicker aluminum skid plate, designed with a more protective shape and a deliberately rugged finish for better mechanical impact resistance. Additional protections include sturdy hand guards with metal cores. A new chain guide also comes as standard, ensuring better safety even in the most extreme off-road conditions. To improve off-road control, special attention went to the rider’s ergonomics, with a seat that is 20 millimeters higher to make transitions between seated and standing positions easier and a taller handlebar with a redesigned shape for better handling.

The heavy-duty spoked wheels with Ergal narrow rims come with treaded tires that use inner tubes, while the Kayaba suspension — offering an impressive 240 millimeters of travel — remains the same as the standard model but now features springs with a linear elastic constant K instead of a progressive one. Although this slightly compromises comfort, it significantly improves off-road riding feel and gives the rider greater control over rough terrain. The stiffer suspension also reduces static sag, making the Tuareg Rally taller and effectively increasing its actual suspension travel. The stand has a support foot with an enlarged surface, so the motorbike tilts less when parked. It also offers stable support even on rough or soft surfaces.

The Tuareg Rally (and the entire new Tuareg 2025 range) has its own specifically developed engine mapping to ensure quick and responsive throttle action. This allows the rider to overcome obstacles more easily with a twist of the throttle in the most challenging off-road sections – a crucial advantage in off-road riding.

The Tuareg Rally has a dedicated SC Project exhaust system, complete with a fully titanium silencer, and features an aggressive, racing-style end cap with a generous 60 mm outlet.

The wheel assembly and exhaust system contribute to reducing the Aprilia Tuareg Rally’s overall weight from 204 kilograms to 199 kilograms in running order.

The Aprilia Tuareg Rally comes in the unmistakable Rally race replica color scheme, closely resembling the design of the victorious Tuareg that crossed the legendary Dakar finish line. Visually, the Tuareg Rally stands out with its sporty gold-anodized forks, wheel rims, and handlebars.

New Look for the Tuareg 2025 Range

The updates to the Aprilia Tuareg at EICMA 2024 are not limited to the debut of the Rally version; all models benefit from new styling and technical features introduced alongside compliance with Euro 5+ regulations.

To improve overall efficiency, the 660 twin-cylinder engine now boasts 52-millimeter throttle bodies, up from the previous 48 millimeters. In addition, the new rare-earth generator reduces inertia, enhancing acceleration performance.

While still retaining its distinctive appearance, including the iconic horizontally arranged triple headlamp, the Tuareg’s functional design has been revised, particularly around the headlamp cluster, which now features a sleeker superstructure without the lower lip. This design solution gives the front view a more dynamic and streamlined appearance towards the top.

The Aprilia Tuareg is also available in two new liveries, both featuring a red-painted frame: Tornado Green and Hailstorm White.

The extensive range of original accessories for the Aprilia Tuareg has been further augmented. Tuareg Rally-specific items, such as heavy-duty spoked wheels, a reinforced skid plate and a chain guide are now available as accessories for the standard Tuareg.

The extensive catalogue also includes a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) sensor. The comfort seat — available in three different heights (standard, raised by 2 centimeters and lowered by 2 centimeters) — now incorporates heating elements and can be easily controlled via the handlebar once the Aprilia MIA multimedia platform accessory is installed.

The successful partnership between Aprilia and Alpinestars, which began in 2024, has resulted in the creation of the Aprilia Experience adventure gear, designed to perfectly complement the Tuareg and support riders in all weather conditions and on any terrain. The outfit includes the Aprilia Experience Jacket and Pants. These two-layer garments feature a waterproof membrane and a removable thermal lining. The Aprilia Experience Gloves, made of leather and fabric with knuckle protection, are waterproof and provide excellent thermal insulation, completing the outfit.

For head protection, riders can choose between two types of off-road helmets: the new Aprilia Wheelie, made of thermoplastic resin with an adjustable visor, and the Aprilia Tuareg Helmet, with a carbon fibre shell and optimized air vents, for more demanding riders. Both helmets are compatible with the new Aprilia Wheelie Goggles off-road mask.

2025 Moto Guzzi Stelvio Duecento Tributo https://www.motorcyclepowersportsnews.com/2025-moto-guzzi-stelvio-duecento-tributo/ Wed, 06 Nov 2024 21:03:08 +0000 https://www.motorcyclepowersportsnews.com/?p=203712 The adventure of the eagle pays homage to the famous Alpine pass that gives it its name.

The post 2025 Moto Guzzi Stelvio Duecento Tributo appeared first on Motorcycle & Powersports News.

]]>
Opened to traffic in 1825, the Stelvio Pass has a 200-year history, evolving beyond a mere route to a legendary destination. Connecting Valtellina and Val Venosta with its 88 hairpin bends — 48 on the Alto Adige side and 40 on the Lombardy side — it’s a revered journey for any motorcycling enthusiast, a must for all fans of two wheels.

To celebrate this important anniversary, EICMA 2024 is the occasion for Moto Guzzi to unveil the Stelvio Duecento Tributo: a special version (a limited and numbered edition) of the latest adventure of the Eagle, designed for borderless journeys and bearing the prestigious name of the famous pass.

Produced with the Stelvio PFF Rider Assistance Solution, the Duecento Tributo version stands out with new colors that highlight its adventurous spirit. The livery draws inspiration from nature, combining snow-white with blue and red graphics — popular in mountain excursion gear. Unique details include patterns tracing the iconic hairpin turns and the geographical coordinates of the Stelvio Pass.

Another element that visually conveys the spirit of the unflagging traveller is the radiator protection grill, where the stylized “signature” of the eagle shines out.

Stelvio Duecento Tributo is produced in a limited and numbered edition of 2,758, exactly the elevation (2,758 meters above sea level) that makes the Stelvio the highest paved pass in Italy. The number of each bike is shown on the handlebar riser.

The accessories of the Stelvio Duecento Tributo are designed with every type of journey in mind. Sharing the technical base of the Stelvio PFF Rider Assistance Solution, this model boasts the innovative driving assistance platform based on imaging radar 4-D technology and developed by Piaggio Fast Forward. These devices play a vital role in terms of active safety, guaranteeing the forward collision warning (FCW), blind spot information system (BLIS) and lane change assist (LCA) functions.

The outfitting includes heated hand grips, heated comfort rider’s and passenger seats, a central stand, the tire pressure management system (TPMS) sensor, the bi-directional Quick Shifter and the Moto Guzzi MIA multimedia platform.
