KTM Announces 2019 790 Adventure And 790 Adventure R
THE MOST OFFROAD CAPABLE TRAVEL BIKES
(Press release)
If you're looking for a
high-performance motorcycle that's lightweight and compact, one
that specializes in adventure touring with the ability to explore
further offroad when the asphalt ends, then look no further than
the 2019 KTM 790 ADVENTURE. With its all new chassis, WP 43 mm APEX
open cartridge upside down front fork, new 799 cc LC8c engine
that's specifically adapted to the needs of adventure riding, and
KTM's
offroad genes, the KTM 790 ADVENTURE is built for endless
exploration, whether it's in the desert, on remote mountain trails
or a transcontinental crossing. Riding in all environments and
conditions is assisted by an electronics package that includes a
full-color TFT dashboard, motorcycle traction control (MTC) working
in conjunction with ride mode selection including Street, Offroad,
Rain and optional Rally mode, motor slip regulation (MSR) and
cornering ABS with Offroad ABS mode. No other twin-cylinder travel
enduro bike can match this package.
