KTM 790 Adventure (spy shot)
KTM has decided to target the middleweight territory with a twin-cylinder
790. The first product in this family will be a street naked showcased in
prototype form at the EICMA 2016. The bike will also be made into an Adventure
tourer for the year 2019, and the first spy images of the KTM 790 Adventure
have been posted by MCN and Morebikes.
The spy shot reveals that the KTM
790 Adventure is not a soft-roader but a mini 1090 Adventure with emphasis on
affordability. The output of the parallel twin has been kept a secret, but we
expected it to hover around 110 PS.
The 790 Adventure will get ride by wire, traction control
and riding modes. The test unit is suspended over fully adjustable WP setup in
the front and an adjustable mono shock in the rear. The front bears a 21-inch
wheel which will be a boon for crossing obstacles while the rear seems to be
an-18 inch specification.
A more sedate road going version
of the bike with smaller rim size and alloy wheels could also be on cards.
