It may seem odd to call the 2016 KTM 1190 Adventure the “stripped down” model in KTM’s Travel line, given that it has an impressive array of features, but that’s what it is.
Smartly updated for 2016, the KTM 690 Duke has seven-percent more horsepower and a peak torque of six-percent more than the previous edition thanks to a new top end and exhaust.
ith the KTM 1290 Super Duke R considered one of the top naked upright sport bikes, and the under-heralded 690 Duke taking care of the mid-size upright fans, the 390 Duke gives riders newer to the sport something to get started on in great style.
In our product Snippet this week, I chat with Teejay Adams about the new Cortech Lite gloves. Essentially, Cortech has utilized a new type of material that is both super-thin yet tough, and perfectly suited to lightweight riding gloves.
In our second segment Teejay Adams has a fun chat with an influencer she recently met on the Kawasaki Eliminator launch in California. @AyaLolwut (Instagram) is a motorcycle enthusiast through and through. Aya is a software engineer for a healthcare provider, and she also models—sometimes with a motorcycle, sometimes without. Aya is a busy lady and seems to split her time between riding, modeling, riding, working, wrenching, and then apparently, riding some more.
So, from all of us here at Ultimate Motorcycling—we hope you enjoy this episode!
