2026 KTM 790 Adventure

ADVENTURE FOR EVERYONE

The KTM 790 ADVENTURE is designed to make 2-wheeled adventure travel easier. Now, with an adjustable WP APEX front suspension, it not only ticks all the boxes regarding what an adventure machine should be. Instead, it breaks out of the box altogether. Built around a torquey parallel twin-cylinder powerplant, and boasting a class-leading electronics package, it’s the perfect choice for riders looking to chase the horizon.

Rider aids

KTM rider aids are developed to enhance the overall ADVENTURE experience by providing more control in different riding scenarios. ABS, MTC, and specially engineered RIDE MODES allow you to get the most out of your machine when barreling down the tarmac on your way to the rough stuff.

MTC (Motorcycle Traction Control)

Making use of the latest generation of KTM MTC, traction is improved by using an advanced 6D Inertial Measurement Unit. This not only regulates and controls any slip at the rear wheel but also prevents uncontrolled lifting of the front wheel. With these two forces combined, the motorcycle is guaranteed the best possible acceleration. And when further combined with the data collected from the lean angle sensor, the system detects and controls power wheelies and ensures stability as well as smooth wheel landing and acceleration.

Cornering ABS

Grab a handful of brakes with total confidence thanks to a 9.3 MP ABS unit. This allows riders to use full braking power mid-corner with the 6D-sensor doing all the hard work. The 6D-sensor works by continuously monitoring and evaluating the current dynamic state of the motorcycle, enhancing safety and stability during braking. Also, this level of ABS technology is unmatched, providing precise and efficient stopping power with the highest level of safety.

Offroad ABS

The KTM 790 ADVENTURE, Offroad ABS is automatically toggled when you’ve selected Offroad or optional Rally Mode. This means ABS functionality is reduced on the front wheel, and completely deactivated on the rear, allowing riders to slide the back-end into a corner. Simply put – more braking power and control in the dirt when you need it, with the ability to shred the trail when you don’t.

Tires

The KTM 790 ADVENTURE is fitted with, offroad-oriented PIRELLI SCORPION STR rubber. These are ideal for riders looking for durability, handling, and mileage on road, but with the added benefit of being able to conquer offroad tracks and trails with ease.

Reworked Suspension

Upfront, the adjustable 43 mm WP APEX open cartridge upside-down front fork has been specifically set up for adventure riding. Split function technology separates the compression and rebound damping between the two fork legs, with suspension travel set to 200 mm. On the rear, a WP APEX shock absorber keeps the ride smooth and balances typical KTM performance riding with all-day riding comfort.

Bodywork

A striking front end gives the KTM 790 ADVENTURE true READY TO RACE looks. In addition, the structure below the fairing makes use of 2 forged aluminum brackets that provide maximum stiffness to the front mask, windshield, and instrument tower. This, along with using in-mold graphics for durability and a low front fender designed to keep unwanted water and mud spray to a minimum, makes the KTM 790 ADVENTURE ready for any adventure.

LED Lighting

Tearing a deep gash into the night, the KTM 390 ENDURO R is equipped with powerful LED lights taken from its bigger brother, the KTM 690 ENDURO R. These lights not only work when the world becomes dark but also provide improved visibility when navigating heavy traffic or misty road conditions.

CTG

The KTM 790 ADVENTURE is undeniably READY TO RACE with two new color ways. The graphics are produced with in-mold technology instead of stickers raising the level of finish and durability.

Aerodynamics

The KTM 790 ADVENTURE sports a KTM Rally-inspired, taller windscreen for improved wind protection on road, with unique anti-buffer aerodynamics.

TFT-DISPLAY

A state-of-the-art full 5″ TFT display keeps you informed with everything you need to know about the machine below you. Featuring improved functionality, each function is illustrated by an infographic of the motorcycle to directly show the user the relevant field of adjustment. An optically bonded mineral glass display ensures optimum scratch and glare resistance. Now standard for 2025, the Connectivity Unit allows the connection between the KTMconnect app and the TFT via Bluetooth for Turn-by-Turn+ navigation, music, incoming calls, and quick access to KTM roadside assistance.
