Improving on the 790 was never going to be easy, but KTM has done it. The 890 Adventure R is one sensational motorcycle.

Any stretch of open dirt road will disappear in a shower of roost and irresponsible behaviour.

We went crazy-ape bonkers over the 790 Adventure when we rode it in 2019. We couldn’t believe how good the bike was, and we told anyone who’d listen, including KTM, it was the bike all manufacturers would have to try and match.

We still think that’s true, but KTM has answered the challenge. The 2021 890 Adventure R with the optional $1195.95 Tech Pack is frigging superb in nearly every department.
