Features
- Hand MIG welded – It’s all about the strength! We continue to follow our philosophy: toughness and functionality over appearance. Although our welders make those welds look like art.
- 22mm steel tube with 2mm wall thickness – Matches the specs of the specs of the factory KTM crash bars
- Less is often more – One of our goals was to preserve the low center of gravity feature of the KTM 1090 / 1190 / 1290 Adventure R / S – Upper Crash Bars by using the same tubing diameter as the KTM factory crash bars. Many other manufacturers use 25mm and even 27mm tubing to protect the upper part of your KTM but it adds up to 1-1.5kg extra, thus making it top heavier while not guaranteeing better impact absorption.
- Tough mounting points – No cutting corners here (either)! Precision laser cut pieces for perfect fitment using 5mm thick metal mounts. These parts absorb a lot of impacts from crashes, rather than your bikes chassis that”s worth thousands of dollars/Euros.
- Powder coated – combined with sandblasting it’s a killer combination to protect your product’s surface. No frills and tough just like your ADV/Dual Sport bike!
Compatibility:
Upper Crash Bars:
1090R / 1290R: 2017 / 2018 / 2019 S model can work as long as it’s equipped with OEM lower crash bars.
1190: 2015-2016 models only (earlier 1190 models have their original KTM crash bars located about 25mm/1” lower and those are not compatible with our upper crash bars).

Good product and shipping. One flaw in the directions about what size bolt goes where. Easy enough to tell which bolts needed to be swapped. No danger to my bike so far and the bars have been used.

Thank you for your feedback. We will certainly adjust this in our installation manual.

I bought the bars after seeing a review online. I like the protection that they offer and I think the design is the best out there. 5 stars for protection and design. That being said the bars shipped with 2 bolts too short( the review I saw online also noted this so I was prepared). The power coat is my main complaint. The color is off and where the logos where placed the power coat is damaged. I plan on getting them redone in the correct color after this riding season( I’m going to drop the bike a few times, I’m sure). I also could not contact the customer service department of Outback Moto so that was a little disappointing. That been said these bars are what I was looking in the end.

These crash bars are fantastic! The fitment is perfect. Although they are snug against the bike ( another plus ) you can still easily remove the plastics to service the air filters without having to take off the bars. I have the TripleClampMoto support brackets for the light and display housing and these fit perfectly with them. Great product!

Estimado MARC. En primer lugar muchas gracias por tu atencion.
Después de la compra enseguida despacharon el producto a mi casilla en USA.
Vivo en USHUAIA PATAGONIA ARGENTINA.
Por esa razón el correo me lo envío en mayo.
Estoy emocionado por lo bien que se ven estas defensas.
Si tienes las herramientas es fácil instalar estas defensas. Encajan perfectamente en la 1090r.
Realmente se ven robustas.
Espero no caerme.
Aunque por estos caminos eso es casi seguro.
Y realmente me sentiré protegido con estas defensas.
Gracias MARC gracias OUTBACKMOTOREK.
Realmente han logrado un producto impresionante.
SALUDOS DESDE USHUAIA.
Dear MARC. First of all, thank you very much for your attention.
After the purchase they immediately shipped the product to my box in the USA.
I live in USHUAIA PATAGONIA ARGENTINA.
For that reason the mail sent it to me in May.
I’m excited for how good these defenses look.
If you have the tools it is easy to install these defenses. They fit perfectly in the 1090r.
They really look robust.
I hope I do not fall.
Although on these roads that is almost certain.
And I will really feel protected with these defenses.
Thank you MARC thanks OUTBACKMOTOREK.
They have really achieved an impressive product.
GREETINGS FROM USHUAIA.

Fantastic Product. Perfectly fit my 2018 KTM 1090 Adventure R. Instructions and installation are clear and easy.

Easy install. Strangely enough I haven’t dropped the bike since I got them so 2k miles and still looking good.

Great durability, personality tested on another bike

Fit and finish is great. I have put the crashbars through a great deal of abuse this riding season and I’m happy to say these are solid! At least 7 hard crashes on single track chasing kids on 450’s.

Nice fit good quality

Excellent construction and solid mounting. I’ve “field tested” these and I’m very pleased with them.
The installation of the cross piece to the OEM lower is difficult but take your time and try sticking the nyloc nuts to duct tape to keep them in position.

Work great have saved my plastics several times
