The KTM 790 Adventure received several updates for the 2024 model year, and KTM has added a couple more changes to the midsized ADV for 2025. Updates include new WP suspension and new colorways.
For 2024, KTM reworked the throttle bodies for more efficient fueling and updated the Power Assist Slipper Clutch with new friction plates and airbox for improved breathing. Those updates carry over to the 2025 model.
New for 2025 is WP Apex suspension borrowed from the 890 Adventure, including a 43mm fork and a rear shock. The fork features split-function technology that separates compression and rebound damping between the two legs, with adjusters on the top of each leg. The shock is adjustable for rebound damping and spring preload. Suspension travel is 7.9 inches front and rear.
Everything else remains from the 2024 model, including the bike’s 799cc LC8c parallel-Twin LC8c that makes 95 hp and 65 lb-ft of torque. It comes with spoked 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels wrapped in Pirelli Scorpion STR tires, a 5.3-gallon fuel tank, an engine guard, cornering ABS, three standard ride modes (Street, Offroad, Rain), lean-sensitive traction control, and a 5-inch TFT display. Demo mode allows riders to test out optional electronic rider aids, including Rally ride mode, Motor Slip Regulation, Quickshifter+, and cruise control. Ground clearance is 9.2 inches, seat height is 33 inches, and claimed weight is 448 lb.
The black colorway option goes away for 2025 and is replaced with orange. The KTM 790 Adventure will also be available in white. Pricing has not yet been announced, and KTM says the bike will arrive at dealerships in March 2025.
