Pros and Cons in comparison

KTM 790 Adventure 2025

The KTM 790 Adventure is still one of the sportiest mid-range touring enduros - if you are looking for a touring machine that is brutally nimble on and off road, you will find it here. At the same time, however, the chassis and engine offer sufficient comfort and good manners to keep the rider from going mad even on longer liaison stages. The engine is wonderfully powerful for this class, fuel consumption is surprisingly low and the driving aids are even on a higher level than usual. The ergonomics are fine on the road, the off-road ergonomics could even be a little less radical. Overall, however, the 790 Adventure offers a really good price/performance ratio and great riding performance.

Rev-happy engine with impressive power

low fuel consumption

excellent traction control regulation

effective wind protection with a wide range of settings

logical controls

agile handling

precise ride

effective brakes

comfortable on-road ergonomics

well-dosed clutch.

sporty Quickshifter+ only at extra cost

chassis adjustment range not too wide

handlebar position too low off-road

KTM 890 Adventure R 2022

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 off-road. All the more surprising, then, that it also cuts a very good figure on the road.

Off-road capable chassis

harmonious ergonomics (especially for tall pilots)

agile handling

powerful engine

comprehensive electronics package

cornering ABS incl. off-road mode standard

finely controllable brakes

Traction control depending on lean angle

Standard seat rather hard padded

Seat height challenging for small pilots

moderate wind and weather protection

Useful features such as Quickshifter+ at extra cost
