The KTM 890 ADVENTURE R proves that the destination comes second. With its unmatched ability to dispatch everything from highways to rocky gravel switchbacks, to single goat tracks, the KTM 890 ADVENTURE R boasts serious travel capabilities. Thanks to its incredibly responsive powerplant, pin-sharp offroad handling, and all-day comfort, its all about the journey.
Now available at Lings Powersports, the KTM 890 Adventure R redefines middleweight exploration with more power, optimized agility, and unwavering off-road capability in a lightweight warrior.
At its heart is a thrilling 889 cc parallel-twin, producing approximately 105 PS and 100 Nm of torque. Tuned with ride-by-wire throttle, a slipper clutch, and a six-speed gearbox, it delivers linear power with instant delivery—ideal for trail carving and highway surges.
Built around a high-strength chromium-molybdenum steel frame with engine-mounted rigidity, the 890 Adventure R rides on bold WP XPLOR Pro suspension: 43 mm open-cartridge inverted forks and an adjustable rear shock, giving 240 mm of front and 220 mm of rear travel for comfort and control down rocky descents or gravel sweeps.
Its 21″ front and 18″ rear black-wire-spoke wheels wear aggressive off-road tyres, with a ground clearance of around 260 mm for tackling rough terrain. A larger 20 liter rally-style tank ensures formidable range, while a rugged skid plate and hand guards protect vital components.
Stopping power is carried by dual 320 mm front discs with Brembo four-piston calipers and a 260 mm rear disc. Cornering ABS, switchable off-road ABS, traction control, ride modes, and a powerful 48‑mm steering damper bolster both confidence and control.
Designed for serious adventure, the bike features a full-color 5″ TFT display with optional smartphone integration, cruise control, quickshifter capability, and selectable ride modes including Street, Sport, Rain, and Off‑Road. LED lighting, adjustable windscreen, and comfortable adventure ergonomics complete the package.
With a dry weight around 204 kg and an accessible seat height of 875 mm, the KTM 890 Adventure R strikes a perfect balance between lightness and endurance. It brings next-level agility for deep backcountry exploration and confident road presence.
