P80 RIDE REVIEW I 2026 KTM 1390 SUPER ADVENTURE R Braking hardware comes from Brembo, as expected, with twin 320mm discs gripped by radial four-piston cali- pers up front. The system is supported by cornering ABS that uses data from the six-axis inertial measurement unit to adjust braking intervention based on lean angle and riding conditions. Off-road settings allow riders to reduce or disable rear ABS (such as in Rally mode), enabling controlled slides and improved braking on loose surfaces while still maintaining protection on the front wheel. ABS can't be switched off on the front, as it has been for a while now. Multiple ride modes allow the rider to alter throttle response, traction-control intervention and other electronic parame - ters depending on conditions. Street and Sport settings provide sharper responses for paved riding, while Off-Road mode softens throttle delivery, allows greater rear-wheel slip, and limits you to 100 horsepower. For riders seeking the full- fat experience, Rally mode is available as an optional feature, enabling detailed tuning of traction- and wheelie-control levels, as well as throttle behavior. Locked and loaded. The plethora of electronics may scare some buyers, but the ride experience is absolutely awesome.
