KTM 790 Adventure Updates

Wednesday, 16 October 2024 07:31 PM The 2024 KTM 790 Adventure has been reintroduced with a lower price point of $10,999, making it an attractive option for adventure riders on a budget. This bike is now manufactured by KTMs partners, CFMoto, in China. The new model retains many of the advanced features of its predecessor, including a 6-axis IMU, cornering traction control, and multiple ride modes. I think this move by KTM is a great way to make adventure biking more accessible.

Tuesday, 17 September 2024 05:20 PM KTM has updated the engine of the 2024 790 Adventure with a 20% heavier crankshaft, which enhances low RPM and low speed performance, making it smoother and more efficient. The bike also features reworked Dell’Orto throttle bodies and a new knock control system, allowing better tolerance for low octane fuel. This refinement should make the bike more appealing to both on-road and off-road riders.

Monday, 19 August 2024 02:22 PM The 2024 KTM 790 Adventure comes equipped with a full suite of electronic rider aids, including ABS, motorcycle traction control (MTC), and multiple ride modes such as Street, Offroad, and Rain, as well as an optional Rally mode. The bike also features a 5-inch TFT display that is easily readable in all lighting conditions. This array of technology makes the bike highly versatile and safe.

Tuesday, 11 June 2024 10:27 AM The suspension on the 2024 KTM 790 Adventure is provided by WP Apex units, offering 7.9 inches of travel at both the front and rear, although it is non-adjustable apart from a 10-position preload cam in the rear. This setup provides a plush and comfortable ride, especially on-road, but may not be as aggressive as the fully adjustable suspension on the 890 Adventure R.

Tuesday, 21 May 2024 12:55 AM KTM has redesigned the 2024 790 Adventure to be more street-oriented, making it a more cost-conscious alternative to the 890 Adventure R. The bike features an adjustable seat height, a larger aluminum engine guard, and reshaped plastics to protect the tank and seat. The new front mask and integrated fairing also provide more wind protection. I believe these changes will make the bike more appealing to a wider range of riders.

Tuesday, 16 April 2024 01:00 AM The 2024 KTM 790 Adventure boasts a physical size that is smaller and lighter compared to other twin-cylinder adventure bikes, making it less intimidating, especially for new riders venturing into off-road adventures. The bikes low center of gravity and off-road oriented Pirelli Scorpion STR tires enhance its stability and handling in challenging terrain.

Monday, 25 March 2024 07:46 AM KTMs decision to partner with CFMoto to manufacture the 2024 790 Adventure has allowed them to significantly reduce the price without compromising on quality. The bike is now priced at $10,999, which is about 10% less than some 500cc dual-sport bikes, making it an excellent value in the adventure motorcycling segment.

Saturday, 10 February 2024 07:22 PM The 2024 KTM 790 Adventure includes several optional features such as KTMconnect with Bluetooth connectivity, Quickshifter+, heated grips, a heated seat, and cruise control. These options can be enabled for a trial period of 1,000 miles, allowing riders to experience the full potential of the bike before deciding on additional purchases.

Saturday, 20 January 2024 04:17 PM KTM has addressed previous concerns about fuel efficiency and low octane fuel tolerance in the 2024 790 Adventure. The bike now features improved combustion and better fuel efficiency, thanks to the reworked throttle bodies and the new knock control system. This makes the bike more reliable for long-distance travel.

Friday, 15 December 2023 06:13 PM The 2024 KTM 790 Adventure has been praised for its handling and comfort, particularly on-road. The bikes suspension setup, although non-adjustable, provides a comfortable ride and is more than adequate for most adventure riding needs. I think this balance between comfort and capability is a key selling point for this bike.
