suspension , we expect this too to be superseded by a model featuring the 890cc engine . KTM hasn ’ t officially stated what the future of the model is , but KTM Australia Marketing Manager , Rosie Lalonde , told Kiwi Rider there will be an announcement coming soon . “ The 890 Adventure R will replace the 790 Adventure R in the adventure model range . News on the standard model is yet to be released , so stay tuned for future updates , she said .”
Despite being the less desirable model in the family , we don ’ t expect the base bike will be dropped from the lineup , as it offers KTM a foothold in the cheaper end of the middleweight adventure market while simultaneously giving shorter riders an option in the highly capable twin-cylinder Adventure lineup .
