The KTM 790
Adventure has been launched in Indonesia. The new middleweight adventure tourer
from the Austrian two-wheeler brand was showcased at the recently concluded
Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show.
The KTM 790
Adventure is available in Indonesia in only the standard variant, for a price
of IDR 350,000,000. There's no word on the launch of the R
variant. The KTM 790 Adventure R Rally, which is limited to just 500 units
worldwide, unlikely to be introduced there.
A report from March
this year claimed that the KTM 790 Adventure might arrive in our market by the
end of this year. A more recent report stated that the company will introduce
the 390 Adventure next in India before bringing the higher displacement
motorcycles like the 790 Duke and the 790 Adventure. KTM has remained silent
about any details.
Both the variants
of the KTM 790 Adventure draw power from the same 799 cc LC8c, parallel-twin
engine. Linked to a six-speed gearbox with slipper/assist clutch feature, the
motor churns out 94 HP of peak output and 88 Nm of maximum torque. The
electronics package on both bikes includes ride-by-wire throttle with
selectable riding modes, multi-level traction control system and switchable
ABS. The R variant further benefits from Rally mode, fully adjustable WP XPLOR
48 mm front forks and WP Apex PDS rear shock absorber. Quickshifter+ and cruise
control can be added as optional features. The standard 790 Adventure, on the
other hand, uses non-adjustable front forks.
In terms of
styling, the standard variant comes with a regular front fender and a
split-seat setup. The R variant gets more off-road-ready persona in the form of
the tall-set front fender and a rally-style flat, single-piece seat.
