WHAT'S NEW FOR 2023

Upgraded 5" TFT display including graphics and menus
USB-C connectors
Turn-by-turn navigation via the KTM app
Improved seat comfort
Improved wind protection with new cowling
New fuel tank
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
Lower windshield
Higher front fender
New aluminium engine and tank protector
Hazard light switch now on handlebars
Sportier graphics and livery with a nod to the 450 Rally
Software 'demo' mode for 1,500 kms to sample the Tech Pack (all features)

TECHNOLOGY

Smartphone connectivity giving access to music & calls
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, taillight, blinkers, 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

Available in one colourways, R Livery
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 XPLOR technology
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 XPLOR 48 forks
Originally developed for full-on enduro racing, it has springs on both sides, but also separates the damping functions of the two fork legs
Both are easily adjusted using twist dials on the top of the forks, and a sealed hydrostop guarantees excellent resistance against bottoming out
Rear WP XPLOR Monoshock
Rear WP XPLOR shock absorber with 240 mm of travel to match the front fork for performance riding in extreme offroad conditions
Rear is fully adjustable for preload, separate high and low speed compression and rebound damping
Rear suspension features KTM’s proprietary progressive damping system (PDS) as used in the brand’s racing Enduro models, which delivers progressive damping, without the need of a linkage system
Bottoming resistance is provided by a second piston, which works together with a closed cup (instead of a needle) towards the end of the stroke and is supported by a progressive shock spring
Spoked wheels with aluminium rims
Metzeler KAROO™ 3 tyres

MEASUREMENTS

20 litre fuel capacity, approximate 400km range riding dependant
Primary drive 39:75
Final drive 16:45
X-chain Ring 520
Aluminum, tapered, Ø 28/ 22 mm handlebars
Wheelbase 1,509 mm ± 15 mm
263 mm ground clearance
Travel front and rear 240 mm
63.7° steering head angle
Front wheel 2.50 × 21″
Rear wheel 4.50 x 18″
Front tyre 90/90-21″
Rear tyre 150/70-18″
Seat height 880 mm
Dry weight approximately 196 kg
