KTM 790 Adventure Unveiled At India Bike Week 2019

KTM India has showcased the brand's middleweight adventure bike, the KTM 790 Adventure at the India Bike Week 2019 in Goa. The 790 Adventure though has just been showcased, and not officially launched in India. According to KTM India, the middleweight adventure bike has been showcased to gauge people's reaction, although it's no secret that the 790 Adventure will be launched sometime in mid- or the second half of 2020. The KTM 790 Adventure is based on the KTM 790 Duke, which was launched a few months ago in India, and is likely to be the second big, parallel-twin engine KTM to be launched in India.

The KTM 790 Adventure will be launched in India sometime in mid or the second half of 2020

The KTM 790 Adventure is based on the 790 Duke, and shares the same 799 cc, parallel-twin engine, but in a slightly different state of tune, putting out 94 bhp at 8,250 rpm and 88 Nm of peak torque at 6,600 rpm, 1,500 rpm lower than the 790 Duke, while peak power is also marginally down. The parallel-twin engine though has a meaty low-end, and with a slightly punchier low-end grunt, the 790 Adventure is certainly going to be an entertaining offering in the middleweight adventure bike segment. With a dry weight of 189 kg, the 790 Adventure should be easy to handle and light on its feet for light off-road work for beginners and some heavy duty off-road riding.

The KTM 790 Adventure is expected to be priced between Rs. 10-11 lakh (ex-showroom)

The 790 Adventure runs on a 21-inch front wheel and 18-inch rear wheel combination, both spoked wheels, with a non-adjustable 43 mm WP upside down fork upfront with 200 mm of travel, and a preload-adjustable WP monoshock at the rear with 200 mm of rear wheel travel. Four riding modes are on offer - Street, Off-Road, Rain or Rally, and are aided by the lean-sensitive Motorcycle Traction Control (MTC), as well as cornering ABS. If the KTM 790 Duke is any indication, the 790 Adventure certainly will shake up the middleweight adventure segment in India, once it's launched, in our estimates, between Rs. 10-11 lakh (ex-showroom) later in 2020.

Zongshen Cyclone RX6 Based On Norton 650 Nearing Completion

Image
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. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
