Both motorcycles are equipped with double disk brakes at the front. However, the KTM 890 Adventure R 2023 comes with advanced rider assistance systems such as ABS, riding modes, cornering ABS, ride by wire, and traction control.

In terms of strengths, the KTM 890 Adventure R 2023 is praised for its off-road capable chassis, harmonious ergonomics (especially for tall riders), agile handling, powerful engine, comprehensive electronics package, and cornering ABS. The Yamaha Tenere 700 World Raid 2022 is praised for its proven drive, perfect controllability, superb chassis, clean finish, extensive range of accessories, appealing price-performance ratio, good serviceability, and well-thought-out detail solutions.

However, both motorcycles also have some weaknesses. The KTM 890 Adventure R 2023 has a standard seat that is rather hard padded, which may not be comfortable for some riders. The seat height of the KTM can also be challenging for small riders. Additionally, useful features such as Quickshifter+ come at an extra cost. On the other hand, the Yamaha Tenere 700 World Raid 2022 has a 23-liter tank capacity, which may not be preferred by everyone. The braking performance at sporty road speeds is also not as impressive, and the ABS adjustment can be tedious.

In conclusion, both the KTM 890 Adventure R 2023 and the Yamaha Tenere 700 World Raid 2022 are capable enduro motorcycles with their own strengths and weaknesses. The KTM offers a more powerful engine and advanced rider assistance systems, while the Yamaha provides a larger fuel tank capacity and a longer range. Ultimately, the choice between the two would depend on the rider's preferences and priorities.

KTM 890 Adventure R 2023

If you can't get to a place on the 890 Adventure R, you probably can't get there at all on a touring enduro. It is the right choice when things get really rough. Long suspension travel and a high seat underline the serious visual appearance, the 890 Adventure R is no dazzler offroad. All the more surprising, then, that it also cuts a very good figure on the road.

Yamaha Tenere 700 World Raid 2022

Yamaha Tenere 700 World Raid 2022

The World Raid is a successful addition to the Ténéré 700 model range. Until now, it was up to the real enthusiasts themselves to improve the off-road suitability. With the World Raid, Yamaha is now putting a ready-made version for long (desert) tours into the showrooms of the dealers. Even if the full 500 kilometre range is rarely needed in practice, this model is especially worthwhile because of its fine chassis components. On the road, the World Raid is less rocky; off-road, the enormous reserve provided by the fully adjustable KYB hardware is convincing. The response is at an absolute top level. The standard Öhlins steering damper also brings calm to the front. In addition to subtle model updates, such as the colour display, smartphone connectivity or new controls, the World Raid continues to shine with familiar Ténéré qualities. After our test, we say: Sometimes less is still more. It knows how to please!
