The 2025 KTM 790 ADVENTURE is designed to make 2-wheeled adventure travel easier. Now, with an adjustable WP APEX front suspension, it not only ticks all the boxes regarding what an adventure machine should be. Instead, it breaks out of the box altogether. Built around a torquey parallel twin-cylinder powerplant, and boasting a class-leading electronics package, it's the perfect choice for riders looking to chase the horizon.
Now available at Lings Powersports, the KTM 790 Adventure delivers a mid-size adventure experience with exceptional versatility, agile handling, and cutting-edge features—all without overwhelming bulk.
At its heart is an 799 cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine, delivering around 95 PS and 87 Nm of torque. With a smooth, ride-by-wire delivery and six-speed gearbox leveraged by a slip-assist clutch, it provides punchy performance ideal for both technical trails and spirited highway cruising.
The bike rides on a high-strength chromoly trellis frame with the engine serving as a stressed member for compact rigidity. A long-travel WP APEX suspension setup—43 mm inverted fork up front and preload-adjustable monoshock rear—offers around 200 mm wheel travel, ensuring confident handling over varied terrain without sacrificing ride quality.
Braking is handled by twin 320 mm front discs with four-piston radial calipers and a single 260 mm rear disc, supported by advanced cornering ABS and a switchable off-road mode. A high-end steering damper provides stability at speed and over rough surfaces.
Measuring a 1,509 mm wheelbase with an adjustable seat height ranging from approximately 830 mm to 850 mm, the 790 Adventure strikes a balance between stability and accessibility. Ground clearance of about 233 mm helps manage rocky or uneven surfaces.
Practical adventure features include a generous 20‑litre fuel tank, split-configuration subframe capable of carrying luggage and pillion, and a tall windscreen for comfort. Ergonomics are refined with wide, tapered handlebars, glove-friendly switchgear, and sturdy footpegs designed for standing or seated riding.
On the tech front, it includes ride modes, traction control, a robust TFT display with smartphone integration support, and a compact powerpack architecture ready for optional quickshifter, cruise control, or rally mode.
Lightweight yet muscular, responsive yet composed—the KTM 790 Adventure is a rare find in its class. It’s a capable all-rounder for riders seeking a spirited adventure machine that performs on every surface.
