KTM 990 Adventure R
About
The KTM 990 Adventure R is built on a chrome-moly trellis frame with an aluminium sub-frame, providing a strong and lightweight chassis. The bike features a 999cc V-twin engine with dual overhead cams, a balancer shaft, and a dry-sump lubrication system, which contributes to its ground clearance and overall performance. With 48mm WP USD forks at the front and a WP single shock at the rear, both offering 210mm of travel, the suspension is highly capable on both paved roads and off-road terrain. The bike also comes with KTMs first anti-lock braking system, a joint venture with Brembo and Bosch, which can be turned off for off-road use. The dual fuel tanks holding 19.5 litres of fuel are centrally located, enhancing stability, and the bikes seat height of 33.9 inches may require riders to be of a certain height for comfort. Overall, the 990 Adventure R is a well-rounded adventure bike that excels in both on-road and off-road scenarios.

Our take on this /// Verdict
The KTM 990 Adventure R is a formidable machine that blends the ruggedness of off-road capability with the agility of a road bike. My experience with this bike has been nothing short of impressive, especially on backroads and winding mountain passes where its responsive handling and immense torque come into play. However, it does have some quirks, such as the lumpy fuelling at low revs and occasional clutch issues, which can be frustrating. Despite these, the bikes overall balance, crisp motor, and confidence-inspiring suspension make it a joy to ride. For those who appreciate a bike with a racing heritage and the ability to tackle both on-road and off-road adventures, the 990 Adventure R is a solid choice.

In India, the KTM 990 Adventure R is positioned as a premium adventure bike, and its pricing reflects its high-end features and capabilities. The ex-showroom price for the KTM 990 Adventure R in India is typically around 14-15 lakhs, depending on the region and any local taxes. Once you factor in on-road costs, including registration, insurance, and other charges, the total cost can escalate to approximately 17-18 lakhs. While this is certainly on the higher side, the bikes performance, build quality, and the brands reputation for producing robust adventure bikes justify the investment for serious enthusiasts.

When it comes to mileage, the KTM 990 Adventure R delivers a respectable performance, especially considering its powerful V-twin engine. You can expect an average fuel efficiency of around 20-25 kml, depending on the riding conditions. This translates to a range of about 400-500 km on a full tank, which is decent for long-distance touring. While it may not be the most fuel-efficient option, the bikes mileage is reasonable given its power output and adventure-focused design.
