Which is BEST? KTM Super Duke GT vs Super Adventure S

Hi there! Welcome to my channel: MyLifeVibes!
My 1st ever review/ comparison! A big thank you to ‪@ariemolenaarmotors4858‬ for the possibility due to ‪@KTM‬ rider days. In this video I'm comparing the KTM Super Duke GT (2023/2024) with my personal bike the KTM Super Adventure S (2024). Anything that is covered in the video I'm linking below. I'm mainly going into my personal feeling towards both bikes and will try my best to convey that message. We'll also go into specifications, pricing, options and ofcourse include a ride! Time stamps are below.

Great video! In the market for either the SAS or GT, and this video helped inform me a little one each. Thanks!

[@MyLifeV1bes]

🙏🏼 thanks man! Glad to hear it helped. Let me know what you’ve decided though, curious!

[@b1gd312]

Having owned both, the SAS is more usable in all situations, can be ridden faster on bad road surfaces (with just as much fun), so it's a no brainier.

[@MyLifeV1bes]

🙏🏼 thanks for commenting, I agree!

[@kj385]

Same here. GT was too hot most of the time. Just wish the SAS had taller gearing like the GT

[@b1gd312]

@@kj385 I intend to change my rear sprocket when it's shot, and yeah the GT did run hot, don't have the same issue with the SAS

[@kj385]

⁠I looked into changing sprockets. But didn’t find anyone making a bigger front 16 tooth or smaller rear 42 sprockets for the SAS

[@b1gd312]

@@kj385 that's because most people go the other way, as the bike is geared tall from the factory, meaning smaller rears and larger fronts are less commonly sold, many people put 45T rear sprockets on, which makes 6th more usable, and many claim to be better offroad also, have you tried looking at DID or supersprox?

Nice video! I bought my KTM 1290 SAS 2022 at Arie! Nice dealer! Did you drive this GT during a KTM testday?

[@MyLifeV1bes]

🙏🏼 thanks for commenting! Yes I did. Plus some additional options were fitted to my SAS during that same time so easy 1+1.

[@willem-jangeesink2083]

Leuke filmpjes. Ik rij ook sas en veel op de zelfde dijkjes als jij. Ik heb deze week de ECU laten flashen ik kan dat zeker aanraden. En inderdaad ik vind de sas ook veel comfortabeler dan de gt.

[@MyLifeV1bes]

Dank voor de reactie! Wat voor een resultaat heeft het flashen van de ECU?

[@willem-jangeesink2083]

@@MyLifeV1bes motor loopt veel soepel en vloeiender. De dip/onrustiger lopen bij 4.500 tot 5.500 toeren is weg. Hij pakt nog eerder vermogen op en is minder abrupt bij gas los. Echt veel fijner geworden. Plus 5 pk erbij maar dat is bijzaak wat mij betreft.

[@willem-jangeesink2083]

Ik kan je eventueel een foto van de grafiek mailen met de resultaten.

[@MyLifeV1bes]

@@willem-jangeesink2083 graag! Ga eens informeren.

[@cedricvanloo9497]

Good topic! Hoz would you compare the throttle respons? I have a 890 Duke R which is very nervous and pulls from the second you open the throttle, which I love. When I testrode the GT I was a bit disppointed about the throttle response: it rips like crazy, but it feels like it has to built up the power a bit, it doesn't have that direct explosiveness I was looking for. How would you compare the SAS on this topic?

[@MyLifeV1bes]

🙏🏼 thanks for commenting. Regarding the throttle response, I’ve never rode a 890 Duke R so I’m not sure how that feels. What I do know is that you have multiple settings in terms of throttle responses both on the GT and SAS. In comfort it reacts it bit slower and more smooth while sport it is really snappy. So both bikes are configurable on that topic. Hope that answers your question :).

[@kj385]

The GT has smooth and responsive throttle. Almost equal to the 890. The SAS throttle is less responsive. But some of that is due to the heavier crank and different cams. So I ride the SAS in sport mode. But the GT and 890 I ride in street mode.

1290 SAS looks better

[@MyLifeV1bes]

🙏🏼 for commenting IMO as well!
