During our time with the KTM 890 Adventure R, we found it to be unlike any other big ADV on sale in India.
The bike gets a comprehensive suite of electronics, but you'll have to pay extra to unlock some features.
At 880mm, the bike does have a tall seat, but it's reasonably comfortable over long rides.
The 890 Adventure R rides on 21-inch front and 18-inch rear spoked wheels.
The bike is powered by an 889cc parallel-twin engine producing 104.6hp and 100Nm.

The KTM 890 Adventure R is powered by an 889cc parallel-twin engine producing 104.6hp and 100Nm, paired with a 6-speed gearbox. Like a proper adventure bike, it rides on a 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wire-spoke wheel setup. Suspension duties are handled by WP XPLOR hardware, while braking is taken care of by Brembo with a 320mm front disc and a 260mm rear disc.
The 890 Adventure R features a 5-inch TFT display with smartphone connectivity, LED lighting all around, a bi-directional quickshifter, cruise control, and multiple riding modes—some of which are available only as part of the optional Tech Pack. It’s also a notably tall motorcycle, with an 880mm seat height, but that allows it to offer an impressive 263mm of ground clearance.
