Ktm Adventure 790 R
The KTM 790 Adventure R was introduced in 2019 as the off-road focused variant of the 790 Adventure, designed to compete directly with the BMW F 850 GS Adventure in the mid-weight adventure segment. It featured longer suspension travel, knobby tires, and rally-inspired ergonomics, earning strong praise for its lightweight handling and capable off-road performance. The model was discontinued after 2020 when KTM replaced it with the more powerful 890 Adventure R, though the 790 R remains highly regarded as one of the best off-road-oriented adventure bikes of its era.

What Buyers Should Know
Watch the Throttle Bodies
Some early 790 Adventure R owners reported throttle body sync issues causing rough idle or hesitation. A dealer throttle body synchronization service typically resolves this and should be verified before purchase.
Rally-Spec Off-Road Capability
The 790 R comes factory-equipped with WP XPLOR suspension offering 240mm of travel front and rear, making it one of the most capable mid-weight adventure bikes straight from the showroom floor.
Strong Resale Value
The 790 Adventure R holds its value well due to limited production years and high demand, especially for low-mileage examples with service records. Expect to pay close to original MSRP for clean used models.
