Also, with Suspen- sion Pro, you will also be able to independently adjust compres- sion and rebound damping in clicker-like increments as well as Anti-Dive in the fork and sus- pension preload, front and rear. Preload is programmed through a range of high, standard and low auto settings. All of this is done independently and is stored in the ECU indefinitely.

In fact, if you want every- thing turned on inside the KTM's brain, it will run you about $900 for the Tech Pack of goodies. With that, you can enjoy more acronyms such as MSR (motor- slip regulation), HHC (hill-hold control), EBC (adjustable engine- brake control), as well as non-ab- breviated features in Suspension Pro and the always rowdy Rally Pack for off-road hooliganism at its finest. We will talk a lot more about the Rally Pack when we The 1390 Super Adventure S Evo comes in black/white and orange versions globally (shown here with KTM PowerParts accessories installed). Looks like North America is getting the orange one only for now.
