MEET KTM’S MOST HARDCORE ADVENTURE BIKE FOR 2020: THE KTM 790 ADVENTURE R RALLY

Posted in Bikes, Parts & Accessories, Riding

Restricted to 500 units, the KTM 790 ADVENTURE R RALLY is for riders demanding the most hardcore performance combined with the very best suspension available. But why build this outstanding machine and how does the KTM 790 ADVENTURE R RALLY perform when ridden by experienced racer Chris Birch?

The third and newest member of the KTM 790 ADVENTURE family is positioned as the most travel capable rally bike. Based heavily on the KTM 790 ADVENTURE R, this limited-edition model retains the same trellis chassis together with the potent 95hp LC8c parallel twin engine. The major component difference on the KTM 790 ADVENTURE R RALLY is the addition of the special WP XPLOR PRO suspension.

Built in the same department as WP’s Red Bull KTM 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 creates a seat height of 923mm for this unique model.

The new KTM 790 ADVENTURE R RALLY is exactly as it says: A rally bike ready for any adventure.”
