KTM
790 Adventure and
790 Adventure R
Adventure fans were ready to
riot if KTM didn’t pull the covers
off their new
dventure
models at EICMA, so the debut of
the two new machines wasn’t a
total surprise. While both share
the same
cc
c engine, the
790 Adventure is by far the more
road-oriented machine. That’s
why our pick is the Adventure
R - which not only adds plenty
of ground clearance via
sus ension, of course lus off-
road ability into the e uation,
it looks like a proper adventure
bike should too.
KTM NZ expects the 790
Adventure twins to arrive here in
June 2019.
