Our take on this /// Verdict

The KTM 990 Adventure is a formidable machine that straddles the line between on-road comfort and off-road capability with remarkable ease. Its 75-degree V-Twin engine, though slightly older in design, still delivers a crisp and powerful performance, especially in the mid-range. The bikes handling is a revelation, with a well-balanced chassis and suspension that make it confident on both blacktop and dirt roads. However, the bike does show its age in the cockpit, with a minimal digital display that lacks the modern amenities of newer models. Despite this, the 990 Adventure remains a reliable choice for those who value its unique blend of power, agility, and adventure-ready features. It requires attentive maintenance, but for those willing to put in the effort, it offers an unparalleled riding experience.

Price

In India, the KTM 990 Adventure, if available in the current market, would likely be priced competitively within the premium adventure bike segment. However, given that the model has been largely superseded by newer variants, it might be more challenging to find a brand-new unit. If available, the ex-showroom price could range between 15 lakh to 20 lakh, depending on the region and any customizations or accessories. The on-road price would include additional costs such as registration, insurance, and road tax, potentially pushing the total to around 18 lakh to 25 lakh. Its crucial to note that prices can vary significantly based on the bikes condition, mileage, and whether its a used or imported model.

Mileage

Wednesday, 20 November 2024 12:23 AM The KTM 990 Adventure offers a decent mileage for its class, with reported figures of around 42.9 mpg (approximately 18.3 kml) under mixed riding conditions. In Indian contexts, this translates to a fuel efficiency that is manageable for long-distance touring, especially considering the bikes large 19.5-liter fuel tank. This makes it a viable option for those concerned about running costs, as it balances power with reasonable fuel consumption.

Discussions and Questions KTM 990 Adventure

Is the KTM 990 Adventure too much bike for a beginner?

14 January 2025 06:19

If you're only riding on the road, it’s fine. It’s too heavy and powerful for most newbies, but for true ADV riding with off-road sections, it does the job.

What mods are the absolute musts for a KTM 990 Adventure?

14 January 2025 06:19

Don't mod it at all! But keep it stock and enjoy it as KTM intended. You don’t need to mod a good bike. Too many people ruin good bikes with unnecessary mods.

Is the KTM 990 Adventure still relevant in 2016’s ADV market?

14 January 2025 06:19

Absolutely! Off-road, the 990 Adventure is still a beast. Okay, it doesn’t have all the fancy electronics, but that’s just part of the fun. But you actually have to know how to ride.

Why does the KTM 990 Adventure have fuel pump problems?

14 January 2025 06:19

It’s a design flaw, and I’m not talking about a physical design flaw, but a design flaw in the plan for the game itself. They should have issued a recall, but they did not. It's an otherwise awesome bike, but it's the biggest drawback.

So, how would the KTM 990 Adventure fare on a long-distance tour?

14 January 2025 06:19

However, with the right mods, it’s excellent. On mine, I’ve done 1000-mile days. All the differences between the comfort seat, taller windscreen, and aux fuel tank.
