Ktm 890 Adventure
The KTM 890 Adventure was introduced in 2021 as a mid-displacement successor to the 790 Adventure, featuring the updated 889cc parallel-twin engine for improved power and refinement. It was designed to offer a more accessible and versatile adventure touring experience compared to the larger 1290 Super Adventure, with a focus on both on-road comfort and off-road capability. The 890 Adventure quickly became popular in the mid-size adventure segment due to its lightweight chassis, strong electronics package, and the punchy LC8c engine platform.

What Buyers Should Know
Watch the Throttle Bodies
Some owners report rough idle and throttle response issues traced to throttle body synchronization drift — a relatively simple dealer fix but worth checking on used bikes.
Strong Resale Value
The 890 Adventure holds its value exceptionally well in the mid-size ADV segment, often retaining 75-85% of its value after one year due to high demand and limited supply.
Best-in-Class Engine
The 889cc parallel-twin produces 105hp with a 270° firing interval that mimics a V-twin character, giving it uniquely engaging mid-range torque that outperforms most competitors in its class.
