Earlier in March, we took delivery of our first KTM 790 Adventure and the team were blown away!
The KTM 790 Adventure and KTM 790 Adventure R have been hotly anticipated at AMS HQ since KTM first gave wind that they were looking to produce agile, lighter, more user-friendly adventure bikes with all the offroad power and prowess of the rest of the KTM Travel range.
It’s fair to say some of us were skeptical, but we’ve learned by now not to underestimate the engineering brilliance of the KTM team. They spent months testing the new 790s in some of the toughest conditions out there, frequently pulling them out of rivenes and piecing them back together. And it’s fair to say they’ve nailed it.
The custom designed LC8c 799cc parallel twin engine gives riders plenty of power, but the lighter frame with ergonomically designed fuel tank and seat make the 790s a dream to ride off road for riders of all skill levels.
Off road riding bloggers have been quick to heap praise on the KTM 790 Adventure range with Adventurebikerider.com saying:
‘The motor is perfectly set up, the suspension is faultless, the design is practical and the balance, thanks to that short motor and the weird fuel tank, is far better than you would ever imagine.’
Cycleworld.com also gave the 790 Adventure R two thumbs up in their own unique way:
‘After chasing Chris Birch through the Sahara for a fast, rock-strewn, and bump-filled day on the 790 Adventure R, I can absolutely say it sets a new standard in the adventure segment for dirt-worthiness.’
