RIDING THE 2024 KTM 790 ADVENTURE: THE WRAP
Good information: the KTM 790 Adventure is again! Back in 2020 it had a base value of $12,699, which was solely about 10 p.c greater than a 500 dual-sport bike. Then it morphed into an 890, with extra options and a much bigger price ticket. For 2024, the 890 continues to be out there, however so is the 790, solely this time the worth is $10,990. That’s about 10 p.c much less than a 500 dual-sport. How is that attainable? The bike is now assembled on the CFMoto manufacturing unit in Hangzhou, China. We know the place properly–we truly toured the manufacturing unit a number of years in the past. It’s as trendy and complicated as something in Europe or Japan. It does, nevertheless, have cheaper labor prices and that’s what permits the 790 to return in with a lower cost and compete with bikes just like the Honda Transalp and Yamaha T7. Only the meeting is finished in China; all of the elements are shipped there.
In order to separate the 790 and the 890, KTM cleaned up the road. The base mannequin of the 890 was essentially the most street-oriented model and got here with WP’s inexpensive Apex suspension. That bike is gone with this new 790 taking its place. The new 790’s Apex suspension has 7.9 inches of journey at each ends and is non-adjustable, apart from a 10-position preload cam within the rear. That compares to the 890 Adventure R’s Xplor suspension, which has 9.45 inches of journey at each ends and is totally adjustable. The 890 additionally has bigger valves, greater compression and, in fact, extra displacement. It all provides as much as a distinction of round 10 horsepower. Even although KTM says the 790 is extra of a road bike, it comes with off-road oriented Pirelli Rally tires and a few very spectacular off-road options.
The 790 has all the identical tech that made it a sport changer when it first got here out, solely now, these options are choices. When you’re taking supply of the bike, all these choices are enabled, however just for the primary 1000 miles. That’s a trial interval so you’ll be able to see what you want. If you need all of it, the worth is $735. For off-road, you solely actually need the Rally Pack, which is $210. Trust us, you need that. The slip management is the most effective within the enterprise.
The 790 nonetheless appears a lot smaller and lighter than some other twin cylinder bike within the journey bike world. It’s round 450 kilos with out gas, however the gas tank configuration is what makes it particular. The 5.3-gallon gas tank stretches from the filler in entrance of the seat all the way in which down across the motor. Virtually all different journey bikes carry their gas up excessive. The 790 seems like a minibike in comparison with most others in its class. The Yamaha T7, specifically towers above the KTM like a large. The KTM’s seat is barely a bit decrease, however there’s no mistaking the truth that it has a decrease middle of gravity.
At greater speeds, the low CG isn’t as vital and the suspension can really feel short-legged. Even although the suspension isn’t adjustable, it’s not unhealthy in reasonably tough terrain. It takes a fairly large impression to make it hit backside. The limiting issue, in truth, isn’t damping as a lot as journey. The motion is definitely fairly good from prime to backside. WP doesn’t provide upgrades for the Apex line, so if you wish to take the 790 in actual off-road whoops, it’s important to flip to the aftermarket.
There’s a lot extra to unpack right here. The 790 is a premium stage bike with tons and plenty of options. We can forgive KTM for charging additional for some digital upgrades. If that’s what it takes to herald the worth for lower than a 450 motocross bike, then so be it. You can learn our full overview of the KTM 790 Adventure within the July 2024 print version of Dirt Bike.

As it’s, whenever you mix Supercross, professional motocross and SMX, the season is already so lengthy that most professional groups are struggling to be at each spherical. But, as Bud and Troy knew moving into, they have already got Glen Helen within the plan. The solely distinction is now there’s a payout.
