KTM has unveiled the limited edition variant of its
new middleweight adventure tourer, the 790 Adventure R. Christened as the 790
Adventure R Rally, the motorcycle will be limited to just 500 units. The limited edition, Rally model,
is based on the R variant of the 790 Adventure series, and thus you would see a
flat-style, single-piece seat, rally style round mirrors and Akrapovic exhaust.
The Rally badge brings special livery to the middleweight adventure tourer and
the new graphics – white, orange and blue – are visible on the tall-set front
fender and the body panels. The panel under the passenger seat features the
Adventure R Rally decal.
Apart from the revised paint theme for the body
panels, the Rally edition also gets an updated seat colour. Unlike the
Adventure R model, the Rally edition gets an orange colour in the top-centre of
the seat. The Adventure R variant, for reference, gets orange sides on the
saddle. Besides the changes mentioned above, the limited edition Adventure
Rally R carries the same features and mechanical specifications as the
Adventure R model. The 799 cc, LC8c, liquid cooled, parallel twin-cylinder
engine makes 95 BHP of max power and is paired with a six-speed transmission.
The electronic package on the Adventure R includes
ride-by-wire throttle, riding modes, traction control system, switchable ABS
and a Rally mode. A Quickshifter+ and cruise control are available as optional
extras. The R badge model also gets fully adjustable WP XPLOR 48mm front forks
and WP Apex PDS shock absorber at the back.
