To open doors … to pass arches, to deceive corridors, to overcome dead ends, to flee the return and to abolish monotony. Who wouldn’t dream of it once the crutch is up!?! KTM has several machines in its catalog capable of taking you to lost and far corners, on fallen roads or on purpose.. Including a certain 790 Adventure R, more reasonable than the strong calibers of the segment and yet just as eager to cut the tracks.
The orange frame has always been an excellent indicator of the level of KTM bikes. A color that goes hand in hand with the evocative R: we spit in the pognes and we send. Modeled on the standard 790 Adventure, this version intends to go further … or rather, continue on trails and difficult terrain when its sister says ‘stop’. To accomplish this, it takes advantage of a whole series of specificities, ranging from trim to technical parts. We are not here to laugh, but to have fun.
The changes start right away, with a different fender and placed in height, a shorter bubble to clear the view when riding upright, different mirrors and perched higher, colored hand guards and a more focused seat. sport. No more double saddle but a single element which is clearly refined on the rear. With passenger handles and a faux luggage rack that have disappeared, everything suggests that the Katoche is not trying to encumber itself with weight on its backside..
We do not approach the R with the same desires as the 790 Adventure without R. Well, almost; let’s say that they are more advanced, more assertive, more raised. Just like the saddle which climbs to 880 mm, and not adjustable in height. Why so high? Because the ground clearance is more important, just like the suspension travel. With 263 mm, the R takes advantage of 30 mm more space between the ground and the shoe. Bigger, the WP inverted fork of 48 mm in diameter slides over 240 mm (40 mm more) while gaining adjustment possibilities. Small knobs allow you to manually change the compression in the left tube and the rebound in the right tube. The shock absorber, also WP, benefits from the same values of travel and identical settings. In order to complete the conviction that you have to venture out where things are wriggling in the gravel, the 21 and 18-inch rims fit on Karoo3 tires, with good studs that chew up the dirt..
The Adv R has the same 95 horsepower twin. Borrowed from the 790 Duke, it is deflated in power, tweaked in torque, and directly bridle for A2 licenses. It is supported by several driving modes including ‘Offroad’ for off-road driving and Rally mode (standard on the R – option on standard) with more settings on the traction control. The electronics also include a 5-inch TFT screen, ABS which is active in curves and can be deactivated; can be completed through the options of a shifter, cruise control, and the KTM My Ride kit to connect your smartphone and manage calls, music and navigation possibilities.
The 790 Adventure’s backbone is a staple chrome-molybdenum tube frame in which the engine provides part of the rigidity. A tubular mesh constitutes the rear frame, where the air filter housing is embedded. An ingenious layout that facilitates the replacement of the purifier. Another trick, the shape of the tank to store fuel in the lower part of the motorcycle, thus making it possible to lower the center of gravity and reduce the gap between the knees. Too bad, it gives it a not very elegant belly, breaking the dynamic allure of the machine. Without this flop, it almost looks like a SMC.
The two 790 Adventure share the same tank capacity (20 liters), the same weight of 189 kilos, the same braking given to two 320 mm discs bitten by radial calipers with 4 pistons, and an almost identical frame but with certain values. are adapted to his temperament. The caster angle is more tucked in with 63.7 ° (64.1 ° for the std), the caster goes 107.8 to 110.4 mm and the wheelbase is extended to 1528 mm (+19 mm).
With the KTM 790 Adventure in R version, it’s time to stop asking questions when you’re in the heart of the journey. The kind of machine that prefers to cross a lookout rather than take a detour to find a placid bridge. More expensive, less pleasant for the passenger but better suspended and more chartered for expeditions, it arrives at the right time on a corner of the map which begins to shudder.
