Benefits of this bike

01. In the rough

WP PRO COMPONENTS: There's no humble way to say this – the 2024 KTM 890 ADVENTURE R RALLY is fitted with the most performant and exclusive offroad suspension available on the market. Developed in conjunction with input from the WP Factory Racing department, both ends feature proven, high-end race technology along with a massive 270 mm of travel. Upfront, the lightweight WP XPLOR PRO 7548 fork makes use of Cone Valve technology, combining superior comfort with excellent bottoming-out resistance. The Cone Valve allows unlimited opening, so the harshness of the suspension is reduced, while the closed cartridge construction ensures reduced friction, consistent performance over longer periods, and improved responsiveness. On the rear, the PDS makes use of a WP XPLOR PRO 6746 shock absorber that used the latest, low-friction components, offering the highest level of damping performance, reducing rider fatigue. Oh, and did we mention both the fork and shock are fully adjustable too?

Heavy duty wheels & footpegs: When it comes to getting the power down to the ground and having a solid footing, the 2024 KTM 890 ADVENTURE R RALLY boasts some serious rolling componentry. High-strength 2.15 x 21" and 4.00 x 18" rims are specifically designed to handle the most hardcore of offroad terrains with total confidence. Likewise, when it comes to digging in your heels and getting full traction through your boots, the KTM 890 ADVENTURE R RALLY has a wider footprint, offering improved boot grip and rider comfort when charging on the pegs.

Offroad ABS: For the 2024 KTM 890 ADVENTURE R RALLY, Offroad ABS is automatically toggled when you've selected Offroad or Rally Mode. This means ABS functionality is reduced on the front wheel, and completely deactivated on the rear, allowing riders to slide the back-end into a corner. Simply put - more braking power and control in the dirt when you need it. Simply put - more braking power and ultimate control in the dirt when you need it.

Tires: The 2024 KTM 890 ADVENTURE R RALLY RALLY is fitted with all-new MITAS ENDURO TRAIL rubber, specifically optimized for KTM. These are ideal for riders looking for durability, handling, and mileage on road, but with the added benefit of being able to conquer difficult offroad tracks and trails with ease.

02. On tarmac

Rider aids: No, the KTM 890 ADVENTURE R RALLY hasn't gone soft. On the contrary, KTM rider aids are developed to enhance the overall rider experience by providing more control in different riding scenarios. More so, ABS, MTC, and RIDE MODES allow you to get the most out of your machine when barreling down the tarmac on your way to the rough stuff.

MTC (Motorcycle Traction Control): Making use of the latest generation of KTM MTC, on-road traction is improved by using an advanced 6D Inertial Measurement Unit. This not only regulates and controls any slip at the rear wheel but also prevents uncontrolled lifting of the front wheel. With these two forces combined, the motorcycle is guaranteed the best possible acceleration. And when further combined with the data collected from the lean angle sensor, the system detects and controls power wheelies and ensures stability as well as smooth wheel landing and acceleration.

Cornering ABS: Grab a handful of brakes with total confidence thanks to a new 9.3 MP ABS unit. This allows riders to use full braking power mid-corner with the 6D-sensor doing all the hard work. The 6D-sensor works by continuously monitoring and evaluating the current dynamic state of the motorcycle, enhancing safety and stability during braking. Also, this level of ABS technology is unmatched, providing precise and efficient stopping power with the highest level of safety.

Seat Comfort: The 910 mm high, flat race-spec seat sets the tone when it comes to understanding the KTM 890 ADVENTURE R RALLY's intentions. Specially designed for offroad handling, the one-piece Rally seat provides unlimited freedom of movement and optimal contact with the machine. The two-tone seat cover provides exactly the right amount of grip in all weather conditions, while the tall seat height eases the transition from sitting to standing and general offroad maneuverability.

Tech Pack: The 2024 KTM 890 ADVENTURE R RALLY comes equipped with the TECH PACK as standard. Along with Motor Slip Regulation, Cruise Control, and QUICKSHIFTER+, the TECH PACK also most importantly includes the latest generation of RALLY MODE. Through adjustments via the TFT display, riders can adjust wheel slip in 10 levels to precisely match the condition of the surface. A level 0, traction control is eliminated completely, which is particularly useful in deep sand conditions, with 10 offering the highest level of TC intervention. RALLY MODE also deactivates anti-wheelie mode, and allows for throttle response adjustment in 3 levels, namely Street, Offroad, or Rally from smooth to aggressive.

03. Behind the bars

Bodywork: Inspired by the Dakar-winning KTM 450 RALLY, a completely reworked and striking front end gives the KTM 890 ADVENTURE R RALLY true READY TO RACE looks. In addition, the structure below the fairing makes use of 2 forged aluminum brackets that provide maximum stiffness to the front mask, windshield, and instrument tower. This, along with using in-mold graphics for durability and a high front fender to keep the front wheel rotating freely in heavy dirt, and a selection of specific KTM POWERPARTS for enhanced protection, makes the KTM 890 ADVENTURE R RALLY ready for any adventure.

Sound: The KTM 890 ADVENTURE R RALLY is fitted with a performance and weight-optimized AKRAPOVIC silencer made of ultra-lightweight titanium saving more than 1 kg of weight. Not only does this provide real READY TO RACE looks reminiscent of the KTM 450 RALLY, but also barks out a racy exhaust mode.

Aerodynamics: Despite its shorter windshield, the KTM 890 ADVENTURE R RALLY serves a dual function. On the one hand, the lower profile allows the rider to move around the bike freely when standing on the pegs - and offers an unobstructed view ahead. On the other, and together with the reworked bodywork, provides aerodynamically optimized protection from windblast while barrelling down the highway to the next trail.

Upgraded TFT Display: A new state-of-the-art full 5" TFT display keeps you informed with everything you need to know about the machine below you. Featuring improved functionality, each function is illustrated by an infographic of the motorcycle to directly show the user the relevant field of adjustment. An optically bonded mineral glass display ensures optimum scratch and glare resistance. Additionally, the Connectivity Unit allows the connection between the KTMconnect app and the TFT via Bluetooth for Turn-by-Turn+ navigation, music, incoming calls, and quick access to KTM roadside assistance.

Ergonomics: With tank spoilers and rear side panels slightly wider than the seat, hardcore offroad riding is easier thanks to improved rider movement. This also helps with reduced wear and tear on the seat, while the slim shape of the fuel tank is optimized for precise handling and control when standing on the pegs.

CTG: Rolling into the desert with an undeniable READY TO RACE color scheme. Boasting loud, orange flanks, tank, and seat, and set off perfectly with a white tailpiece and black in-mold graphical accents, the 2024 KTM 890 ADVENTURE R RALLY raises sets the scene well before you've even prodded the starter button.

04. On the charge

Frame: The overall geometry of the KTM 890 ADVENTURE R RALLY was developed for light handling, and comfort on long distance exploration missions - with unchallenged offroad capability. Strength was a big consideration in the design, so a tubular Chromoly steel frame is used with the engine acting as a stressed member to reduce weight and overall size. All design and engineering innovations are focused on being compact and light.

Subframe: Featuring a lightweight and solid construction, the subframe is fully-loaded for adventure. The motorcycle beneath you needs to be built to last. The steel trellis subframe was developed to be compact, lightweight and also strong enough to carry a full load of luggage as well as a passenger under the hardest conditions while extreme adventure riding.

Stability: The 2024 KTM 890 ADVENTURE R RALLY RALLY is rock solid at any speed, thanks to a high-end steering damper. Engineered to provide unflappable composure at all times, the steering damper works to keep the front end stable when flicking through tight turns, or hauling over corrugated surfaces.
