Adventure With No Limit: Introducing The KTM 790 Adventure R Rally

Restricted to just 500 units worldwide, the third and newest
member of the KTM 790
ADVENTURE family is positioned as the most travel capable rally
bike. For those riders who demand the most hardcore performance and
the very best suspension equipment available, this is the machine
that will easily cross continents in order to ride to the start
line of a rally.
Based heavily on the
KTM 790 ADVENTURE R, this exclusive model retains the same
steel trellis chassis and the potent and compact 95hp LC8c parallel
twin engine, with the major component difference being the addition
of the special WP XPLOR PRO suspension. Built in the same
department as WP's Factory Racing equipment, it offers similar
levels of performance for extreme riding. An additional 30mm of
suspension travel front and back helps clear the most awkward
obstacles and also creates a seat height of 910mm for this special
model.
The WP XPLOR PRO 7548 fork uses cone
valve technology; a unique valving system that permits almost
limitless damping performance and combines comfort with bottoming
resistance. Setting levels that normally can only be achieved by
changing the shim stack can now be adjusted from the outside. The
cone valve allows unlimited opening, so harshness of the suspension
is reduced.
The high quality and fully adjustable WP XPLOR PRO
6746 shock absorber for the KTM 790 ADVENTURE R RALLY
has been developed based on KTM's unrivalled experience from
top-level rally competition. Due to modern, low-friction
components, the shock absorber shows a significant increase in its
damping performance and reduces the physical strain for riders. The
shock absorber employs a progressive damping system (PDS) and has
completely - and easily - adjustable damping behavior.
To emphasize its READY TO RACE credentials along with the WP
XPLOR PRO suspension, the KTM 790 ADVENTURE R RALLY features a
weight-saving AkrapoviÄ exhaust, carbon fiber tank protectors and
Quickshifter+ as standard. Easily distinguished by its unique color
and graphic design with clear screen and winglets, this special
edition model comes with narrower rims fitted with tubes for hard
offroad conditions, a high, straight racing seat to improve racing
ergonomics and Rally footrests for comfort and grip when standing
for long days.
Hubert Trunkenpolz (CMO KTM AG): "Quite simply, we've built the KTM 790 ADVENTURE R RALLY because we can! At KTM we continually try to push ourselves and the development of our products - this is the READY TO RACE way. We have the equipment at our disposal and we know how to make a truly special bike for our hardcore customers. With its Pro Components range, WP offers suspension close to the same level used by the Dakar-winning Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Rally team on the KTM 450 RALLY. The new KTM 790 ADVENTURE R RALLY is exactly as it says: A rally bike ready for any adventure."
Further details on pricing, availability and the ordering process for purchasing one of the limited number KTM 790 ADVENTURE R RALLY machines will be announced in the months to come.S
