Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2021 KTM 890 Adventure, a motorcycle that stands at the intersection of performance, versatility, and adventure-ready engineering. Positioned in the Enduro-offroad category, this dynamic machine is crafted for riders who crave the thrill of adventure off the beaten path while still enjoying the comfort and capability of a road-worthy bike. With its robust build and cutting-edge technology, the 890 Adventure is designed to take you from winding mountain roads to rugged trails with ease, making it a prime choice for both seasoned riders and those looking to expand their horizons. At the heart of the KTM 890 Adventure is a powerful 889cc engine that delivers an exhilarating 103.3 horsepower and a torque rating of 100 Nm. This liquid-cooled, fuel-injected powerhouse ensures that every twist of the throttle translates into spirited acceleration and confident overtaking on the highway. The 6-speed gearbox, coupled with the PASC™ antihopping clutch, provides seamless gear transitions and optimal control, allowing riders to tackle both technical off-road terrain and smooth asphalt with precision. The bike’s weight of 196 kg enhances its agility, making it easy to maneuver through tight sections and navigate challenging landscapes, all while offering an impressive fuel efficiency of 4.5 liters per 100 km. Beyond its impressive engine, the 890 Adventure showcases a host of features designed to elevate the riding experience. The chromium-molybdenum-steel frame not only contributes to the bike’s strength but also acts as a stressed element, ensuring stability and responsiveness. With a front and rear suspension travel of 200 mm, courtesy of the WP APEX components, riders can expect a smooth ride over bumps and obstacles. The braking system, featuring a combination of Brembo and four-piston radial fixed calipers, provides exceptional stopping power, while the adjustable seat height of 850 mm allows for a customizable fit. Add to that an electric starter and striking color options of black, orange, and white, and you have a bike that doesn’t just perform well but looks great doing it. **
