KTM has unveiled two new models that will join the brand's extensive adventure bike range, the KTM 890 Adventure which will come in two spec options.
In the limited edition (700 units world wide) KTM 890 ADVENTURE R RALLY, KTM says it has developed the machine with components and settings derived from the efforts of the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Rally team.
890 ADVENTURE R RALLY
WP Pro Components ensure all-action, fully adjustable suspension while the power output of the new 4-stroke, twin, DOHC, Euro5-ready engine is boosted by an ultra-light Akrapovic silencer. KTM says the 890 RALLY is a top of the range, specialized motorcycle for the hardcore Adventurer with a raft of niche details like specific chassis race settings, rally footpegs (wider, lighter and mud-free), straight seat, clear screen and winglets, racing graphics along with Quickshifter+ and RALLY ride mode as standard.

KTM 890 Adventure R
The KTM 890 ADVENTURE R is an improvement on the KTM 790 ADVENTURE model family. The new engine generates 105 hp and 100 Nm of torque, that is 10 hp and 12 Nm more than the bike’s smaller brother. The crankshaft features 20% more rotating mass and the overall effect of the engineering around the powerplant means a more stable and consistent output, noticeable with low RPM torque. The added mass also means added cornering stability for long-distance riding on the throttle. Fully adjustable WP XPLOR suspension, overhauled ABS software and new traction control algorithms are just three aspects that mold the ADVENTURE R as the company’s refined definition of an exhilarating ‘allrounder’.

Joachim Sauer, KTM Product Manager Travel: “We are lucky in at least two ways with the unveiling of our new 890 ADVENTURE R RALLY and R models. Firstly, to be able to count on the high standards and excellent collaboration with our multi-title winner Rally team. It’s very cool to be able to use their work and their components and plug it straight into our production bikes. Secondly, we’re excited by the fact we’re providing a new riding experience. The increased performance in addition to the extra rotating mass are really transforming the feeling in low rpm, with the new bikes being even more stable and efficient for the long travels. I’m pretty sure KTM ADVENTURE riders will feel the difference as soon as they get on their saddles for any kind of riding adventure.”
