The motor is based on the powerplant in the RC8 sportbike.^[2] Like the RC8, and unlike its predecessor the 990 Adventure, the 1190 Adventure uses ride-by-wire throttle.^[3] Cycle World and Motor Cycle News noted the electronic rider aids including ride-by-wire and electronic suspension control, up until now foregone by KTM to emphasize off-road performance, are intended to position the 1190 Adventure against technologically advanced street-going rivals like the Ducati Multistrada 1200.^[4][5] It is the first bike with Bosch's Anti-Lowside Technology, the so-called Motorcycle Stability Control (MSC).^[6]
