Off-road is part of KTM’s DNA, and its starring role in unique events like the Dakar is crucial to fuel the motto READY TO RACE. True to this philosophy, the KTM 890 Adventure R Rally is at the top of the adventure enduro category.
Starting from September 20, only 700 units of this exclusive version will be sold worldwide, and furthermore, the most demanding customers can participate in the ULTIMATE KTM DESERT EXPERIENCE, an exclusive activity with a high level of sand and adrenaline!
Style, functionality, and technology are important elements in the development of a motorcycle, as well as the riding feel and ease of handling. That’s why the KTM 890 Adventure R Rally has been equipped with WP PRO Components suspension, which is identical to that used by the KTM Factory Racing Team factory riders: the fork is a WP XPLOR PRO 7548 with Cone Valve technology, while the rear shock is a fully adjustable WP XPLOR PRO 6746.
This top-quality set ensures the highest level of cushioning in the harshest conditions and the rider will immediately feel the ideal sensation to push harder and overcome obstacles more quickly, while still enjoying unparalleled comfort and control. Additionally, for a more touring-oriented use, the 270mm travel provides adventurers from around the world with a more comfortable ride when the bike is loaded with luggage or with a passenger on board, on asphalt and especially off-road.
The new KTM 890 Adventure Rally is equipped with a powerful and versatile 889cc engine, which delivers 105 hp at 8,000 rpm and 100 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm. The sound of the compact front-mounted LC8c twin-cylinder is enhanced by a standard Akrapovič ‘Slip-on Line’ silencer, which is aesthetically similar to the one used in factory bikes competing in the Dakar.
The Adventure is also equipped with a comprehensive electronic package, allowing the rider to keep everything under control, regardless of the conditions: Bosch 9.3MP ABS with Offroad function, traction control with three selectable riding modes based on the terrain, TECH PACK with MSR, Cruise Control, Quickshifter+ and Rally mode, 5-inch TFT display with TURN BY TURN+ navigation and connectivity kit, to manage incoming calls and music playlist on the go.
And when the time comes for tightening… the new KTM 890 Adventure Rally has been equipped with numerous exclusive accessories, all from the KTM PowerParts catalog: a specific Rally seat for competition, super-resistant wheels with Excel rims for the toughest terrains, and Rally footrests for optimal feel and grip when standing. There are also carbon tank protectors and additional protectors for the engine, rear brake master cylinder, and fork, as well as the new Supersprox Stealth derived rally sprocket.
Finally, to celebrate the launch of the new model, KTM organized an exclusive event reserved for 34 privileged customers who, in addition to the new R RALLY, will choose to purchase the ULTIMATE KTM DESERT EXPERIENCE package, a unique experience to be enjoyed in the company of off-road legends such as Johnny Aubert and Jordi Viladoms. The event will take place in Morocco in March 2024 and participants will be offered a complete factory package that includes the supply and preparation of the bikes, as well as the necessary technical support to explore the desert along the Rally Du Maroc routes. The package also includes the presence of qualified guides, transportation for guests during the trip, accommodation in a luxury hotel for a three-day stay, plus an exclusive night in the desert.
The new 890 ADVENTURE R RALLY will be available for online pre-order starting from September 20 on KTM.com.
The list price has been set at €23,899 (VAT included, dealer delivery), while the ULTIMATE KTM DESERT EXPERIENCE package is priced at €4,900 (VAT included). For more information about the package, click here.
