2019 KTM 790 Adventure R Prototype showcased in Europe

According to KTM, the 790 Adventure is developed in tandem with the company's Dakar-winning KTM 450 RALLY bike. The KTM 790 Adventure will employ the same LC8c 799cc, parallel-twin engine, which also powers the 790 Duke. However, this engine will be tuned to provide a broader torque curve on the new ADV.

KTM has also revealed that the bike will come loaded with an extensive suite of electronics along with lean angle sensors. Like the 790 Duke, we can expect the KTM 790 Adventure to get cornering ABS, multi-level traction control system, ride-by-wire throttle, and riding modes. The bike will also feature long-travel suspension with fully-adjustable WP forks up front and the WP PDS mono-shock at the rear.




The 790 Adventure will get adjustable ergonomics, which means the foot pegs and handlebar can be adjusted according to the rider. Another interesting bit is the low-slung fuel tank that offers a better center of gravity, and a tank range of 400 km. This setup has also helped in having a low seat height and added ground clearance. The KTM 790 Adventure gets a radial mounted, 4-piston callipers at the front and 2-piston callipers at the rear. The bike is shod with 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wire-spoke wheels with knobby tires to take on dirt tracks.
