Taking cues from the Dakar-winning KTM 450 RALLY, the WP suspension package on the 2025 KTM 890 ADVENTURE R features time-proven hardware on each end, with a WP XPLOR 48 mm fork and a WP XPLOR PDS rear shock getting the job done.
Aesthetically, the KTM 890 ADVENTURE R also leans on its KTM 450 RALLY stable mate, with a low windshield, high front fender, rally-styled bodywork, and enhanced body protection. Rider comfort hasn’t been forgotten, however, with the offroad-focused single-piece seat emphasizing mobility and grip, in addition to a revitalized graphics set for 2025 finishing its appearance. The 2025 KTM 890 ADVENTURE R might have new graphics but retains and enhances its proven hardware underneath. For 2025, the Connectivity Unit is included as standard to enable connection between the KTMconnect app and the TFT via Bluetooth for Turn-by-Turn+ navigation, music, and incoming calls. Adventure with even more confidence thanks to an increased manufacturer’s warranty, which is doubled for the 2025 model year, going from 12 months to 24 months of coverage.
