KTM 790 Adventure 2023

KTM 790 Adventure 2023

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.

In summary, the Ninja 400 could be described as the perfect entry into the supersport world. You can't get more power with A2, the looks suggest much more power, the vehicle is playful to ride, is forgiving in every respect and still allows a really sporty riding style. Those who had legitimate concerns about the lack of power on the various 250 cubic machines now have no more excuses. Ninja 400, it's good to have you!

low weight and correspondingly effortless handling

engine with smooth response

relaxed and confidence-enhancing seating position
