Vulcan Drifter Riders

The 2027 KTM 1390 Super Adventure S Evo puts a street-focused spin on this ADV platform and includes the innovation of KTM's Automated Manual Transmission, one of our favorite automatic motorcycle transmissions to date. It comes equipped with such rider aids as three standard ride modes, TC modes, ABS modes, adaptive cruise control, collision warning, distance warning, and brake assist, along with electronically adjustable WP suspension and adjustable seat height and windscreen height.

Quinn Redeker heads to Tenerife, one of Spain's Canary Islands, to see what this new KTM is all about. Originally apprehensive of the automatic transmission and slew of rider aids, he soon dives into the bike's seemingly infinite adjustments and unleashes all 173 hp in his ideal setup. Hear more about Quinn’s experience in the video above.
