WHAT'S NEW FOR 2023

• Pirelli Scorpion STR tyres
• Upgraded 5" TFT display including graphics and menus
• Improved seat comfort
• Improved wind protection
• Reworked now-adjustable WP APEX suspension
• Stronger load bearing for GPS device fitment
• Upgraded ABS now sync'd closer to the ride modes
• Reworked ride modes
• New, taller screen
• New aluminium engine and tank protector
• Hazard light switch now on handlebars
• Sportier graphics and livery
• Software 'demo' mode for 1,500 kms to sample the Tech Pack (all features)

TECHNOLOGY

• Smartphone connectivity giving access to music & calls
• Optional KTM MY RIDE app for turn-by-turn navigation
• Bosch 9.1 MP (incl. Cornering-ABS and off-road mode, dis-engageable)
• Cornering Motorcycle Traction Control (CMTC) now with independent controllers
• CMTC with one for wheel slip and another for pitch angle
• Pitch control can be felt in straight line acceleration with a more constant flow as the power reduction is less abrupt and severe
• In a matter of milliseconds, the CMTC software smoothly reduces engine output through intervention at the throttle valves
• The amount of rear wheel traction slip then depends on the selected CMTC ride mode
• The CMTC system can be deactivated entirely
• RALLY mode is an optional extra:
  • This adjusts the degree of MTC intervention with up to 9 selectable slip levels
  • The range is designed to assist a spectrum of rider: from eager offroad beginners to accomplished travel explorers
  • The depth of RALLY mode selectivity means the KTM 890 ADVENTURE can flow across any rugged pass but can also be tweaked to enable delicate and skilled rider actions like front wheel lift on acceleration and rear wheel drifts
• Increased the precision and efficiency of its Cornering ABS software
• Enhanced braking power while minimizing the intrusion of the ABS
• Offroad ABS means braking activation on the front wheel is reduced and the lean angle sensor is deactivated
• Cruise control hardware is factory fitted with optional software to finalise and activate
• Electric starter with 12V 10Ah battery
• Bosch EMS with Ride By Wire (RBW)
• Full LED lighting (headlight, blinkers, taillight, plate light, DRL)
• Colour 5" TFT instrument display

DRIVETRAIN

• 889 cc, 4-stroke, parallel twin, DOHC
• 77 kW at 8,000 rpm
• 100 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm
• Compression 13.5:1
• 90.7 mm of bore and 68.8 mm of stroke
• Stable engine character at low and mid throttle use
• Forged box pistons with three rings and a shorter piston pin
• Two oil jets per piston for optimal cooling of the components
• Two balancer shafts to accompany the larger scale of engine performance
• Balance shafts, one is located towards the front of the crankshaft and the other in the cylinder head
• V-shape conrod contributes to less oscillating mass
• The top end bearing contains a bronze conrod instead of one that is DLC coated
• Horizontally split crankcases are made from a high pressure aluminum cast
• The weight has been optimized through detailed attention to wall thickness the surfaces of the material in order to fabricate the most efficient design
• Open deck cylinders have been fully integrated
• Any interference between the cylinders at low or partial throttle opening has been eliminated by removal of the connection between the two intake tracts
• A knock sensor on the cylinder head improves the robust nature of the engine for the 890 range
• The sensor has been fitted to detect any ‘knocking combustions’ and is a well-thought addition for the travel segment when dealing with different quality of fuel from country to country
• The sensor helps momentarily delay the ignition to combat knocking combustion and preserves engine life
• A large oil cooler as part of the semi-dry sump system
• Reduction of friction losses is generated by actively pumping oil out of the crankcase, clutch housing and gearbox
• Liquid cooled with water and oil heat exchanger
• Two Dell’Orto 46mm throttle bodies fitted with two new sensors for effective pressure reading of each manifold
• A fuel cell with a narrow shape places the bulk of the fuel as low as possible to help with the position of the centre of gravity
• Stainless steel primary and secondary exhaust silencer
• Cable-operated PASC Slipper clutch
• The slipper clutch function controls rear wheel chatter while also making gear changes much easier and smoother to coincide with long hours in the saddle
• Light spring actions, shorter shift lever travel
• Gearbox has been toughened with glass beading on the 4th, 5th and 6th gear cogs
• Euro5 compliant
• An environmentally conscious 105 g/KM of CO2
• Motorex, Power Synth SAE 10W-50 engine oil

BODY

• Slim profile, refined ergonomics & catchy graphics
• Travel-ready with two-part, adjustable seat & low fender
• Unmistakable aesthetic and identity
• Dakar-inspired bike design
• Cornering stability due to the gyroscopic function of the internals
• Chromium-Molybdenum-Steel frame using the engine as stressed element, powder coated
• Chromium-Molybdenum-Steel trellis subframe, powder coated
• KTM kept this bike slim and manageable with a low seat height but also with enough ground clearance and usability to allow riders to explore the outer limits of every adventure
• Weight has been saved while not compromising strength or rigidity, reached through lighter steel profiles of the trellis structure
• Ergonomics are cleverly formulated to match the resourcefulness of the bike and the role it is designed for
• Fuel with low centralisation assists handling which is keenly felt offroad
• Riders can bring their knees closer to the center of the bike when standing up and the dirt bike profile of the seat facilitates movement
• Positioning of the tank in the chassis helps towards the lower seat height while the section towards the bottom even protects riders’ feet from spray water and cold air

SUSPENSION, WHEELS, BRAKES

• High-quality WP suspension components & new rear shock
• Anodized wheel hubs
• WP suspension APEX technology
• A rear shock offers damping behavior and customization thanks to a rebound damping adjuster and an additional hand adjuster for the spring pre-load
• Strong piston spring in the front brake’s master cylinder means a better and more sensitive feeling and feedback on the lever and ‘slim seal’ technology for the piston seal provides more accuracy with the pressure point
• The rear brake system isolated pistons in the caliper work with isolation plates between the pads and piston for more heat stability
• A stainless-steel rear brake hose fitting
• Front 2 × radially mounted 4 piston caliper, brake disc Ø 320 mm
• Rear 2 piston floating caliper, brake disc Ø 260 mm
• Front WP APEX 43
• Rear WP APEX Monoshock
• Spoked wheels with aluminium rims
• AVON TrailRider tyres
