The re-introduced $10,999 790 Adventure
model brings KTM's superior off-road
engine performance, chassis handling and
electronic brilliance to a much more budget-
friendly place, making it more accessible
to those just getting into ADV riding. That's
great for everyone. The Yamaha Tenere 700
needs some competition, after all.
No, it doesn't have the stellar WP Xplor
fork as standard, but the non-adjustable
Apex unit we tested in 2024 is better than
some stockers in the price range and makes
for a nicer all-around ride. The KTM chassis
is harsh, so having a soft fork setting is nice
on the road! Plus, the 2025 model gets ad
-
justable clickers up front. Also, you can buy
this bike and WPs mind-blowing Xact Pro
fork and shock system, plus all the other
parts to make it a 790 Adventure "Rally"—in-
cluding a super fancy Akrapovic silencer—
and save a couple grand from an 890 Ad-
venture Rally. Really, doing the conversion
is only $1500 more than buying a standard
890 Adventure R… that's a good deal! The
790 Adventure competes on price, shines
in performance and is highly refined as the
latest in a long list of 790/890 versions. I
love the heavier crank for more torque, love
the EFI fueling. Love the look. Yes, it's made
in China. I am totally okay with that.
