KTM 790 Adventure // First KTM Adventure For Everyone

I dare say this after riding it around the bends of the Adriatic Highway, and as I ride, I immediately thought that I had never ridden such a lightweight mid-range adventure motorcycle. Since they have mostly common components, it's no surprise that they ride so well on the road. It is lightweight, well controlled and very predictable in its reactions, even when you drive it dynamically around corners.... I'm still not entirely sure about the looks, as the bold design obviously has to be tamed a bit, but I can say that from the user's point of view, they did not miss it. The tall plexiglass, which, together with the space-grade LED light, serves as a comprehensive wind protection, could offer only a few adjustments, but unfortunately everything has been fixed.

But more than when traveling at speeds above 130 km / h on long airplanes, it convinces in turns. The frame and most importantly, an innovative fuel tank that delivers low fuel levels below the knees make it extremely agile and easy to handle. The seat is (surprisingly comfortable) low and designed so that no one should have a problem with both feet touching the ground, which is often a problem for many on adventure bikes.

Well now you have a car with the seat is raised from the ground to a height of 850 and 830 mm, respectively And it is alive, as the 95-horsepower twin-cylinder ensures that there is never a dull speed behind the wide steering wheel. Along with these accelerations, state-of-the-art electronics with four engine work programs, rear wheel traction control with tilt sensors and ABS cornering are standard. In addition to the fact that it is basically a frame built for off-roading, with enduro-sized wheels, that is, 21 inches in front and 18 inches in the rear, it is also great for working on gravel in addition to the road. In fact, this model is ready to take you anywhere on the road and then continue on the rubble.

When we compare it to the R version, we find that the biggest difference is in the suspension.which has 200 mm less travel and 40 mm less engine distance from the ground. If you're not quite Mark Coma, this pendant will be enough for your occasional rubble adventure too, or even somewhere in Africa. If you are concerned about a low wing, you can still think of a raised wing like on the R.

For a price that is basically a little over 12k, you get a very good bike that is extremely versatile and above all fully loaded with high quality components, electronics and a TFT screen that will make any ride a safe experience.
