KTM 790 Adventure Spotted Testing In India For The First Time

KTM India is all set to debut its new flagship offering the 790 Duke next month. We've already shared the launch details with you on the new Austrian middleweight streetfighter and it now seems KTM will be bringing another model from the 790 family to the country. This is the KTM 790 Adventure that we are talking about, which was recently spotted in India by one of our readers. Bearing European number plates, the new KTM 790 Adventure will just be the right product to join the brand's India line-up, especially with the affinity towards ADVs that the market currently has.

The bike gets a Trellis frame underneath with the engine used as a stress member.

Power on the KTM 790 Adventure comes from the 799 cc, four-stroke, DOHC, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine that is tuned for 94 bhp at 8,000 rpm and 88 Nm of peak torque at 6,600 rpm. The bike gets a Trellis frame underneath with the engine used as a stress member. In terms of design, the standard version comes with a regular front fender and a split-seat setup, while the R variant sports a more rally-ready look with the tall-set front fender and the single-piece seat. It's interesting to note that the bike sports minimal bodywork inspired from its Dakar rally motorcycles, which is starkly different from the other adventure bikes currently on sale including the BMW F 750 GS, Triumph Tiger 800, Suzuki V-Strom 650 XT, and more.

Braking power on the KTM 790 Adventure comes from the 320 mm twin discs at the front with a radially-mounted four-piston caliper, and a single 260 mm rear disc with a two-piston floating caliper at the rear. Both versions get spoked wheels with a 21-inch at the front and an 18-inch wheel at the rear, wrapped in knobby tyres.

With respect to electronic aids, the KTM 790 Adventure gets cornering ABS that is disengageable along with off-road ABS, traction control and rally mode. The bike also gets the optional cruise control feature. KTM India is yet to put out an official word on the 790 Adventure's launch in the country. The launch of the 790 Adventure could be followed up with the Adventure possibly by next year and will be a suitable addition to the KTM family, especially with the 390 Adventure on its way as well.

While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen.
