KTM 890 Adventure R (2021)

The 2021 KTM 890 Adventure R is the latest iteration of KTM’s mid-weight adventure motorcycle, boasting a more powerful and torque-rich engine that’s set to elevate the riding experience to new heights.

With its 4-stroke, parallel twin cylinder, DOHC configuration, the new engine delivers 105 horsepower and 100 Nm of torque, propelling the bike forward with authority and agility.

Underpinning this potent powerplant is a robust Chromium-Molybdenum-Steel frame, expertly tuned to harness the engine’s energy and channel it into a responsive, razor-sharp handling package.

And then there’s the suspension – a high-spec WP Xplor PDS unit, carefully calibrated to soak up the toughest terrain with ease, while the Bosch Cornering-ABS system ensures rock-solid stability and control.

The result is a bike that’s as capable and confident on the open road as it is on the most treacherous off-road trails, with the added allure of a premium, high-end feel that’s simply unmatched in this class.
