The new 790 Adventure R comes with a ground clearance of 263mm and a commanding seat height of 880mm. On the contrary, the KTM 790 Adventure (shown in image) gets a ground clearance of 233mm while the seat height stands at 850mm.
The KTM 790 Adventure and Adventure R comes powered by a 799cc parallel-twin engine which makes 93bhp and 85Nm of torque. The engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox, coupled to a anti-hopping clutch.
Both the new KTM 790 Adventure and Adventure R features a 20-litre fuel tank, promising a range close to 400km. The frame equipped on the adventure motorcycles is made out of a chrome-molybdenum alloy.
