990 ADVENTURE R: POWERFUL, STATE-OF-THE-ART V2
Back to Bikes Next Benefit
ENGINE
The Adventure R's water-cooled, 85 kW (114 hp) V-engine impresses with powerful acceleration, superb performance and spontaneous throttle response.
CYLINDER HEAD
Aside from optimum combustion chamber design, the major factors behind the outstanding performance of the 990 Adventure R's V-twin with 75° cylinder angle are the state-of-the-art four-valve cylinder heads, each with flow-optimized ports and two overhead camshafts.
CRANK DRIVE / PISTONS
Particularly lightweight pistons and connecting rods bestow the 990 Adventure R's V2 engine with reduced reciprocating weight and hence a decidedly spontaneous responsiveness, underlining its extremely sporty engine characteristics.
ENGINE MANAGEMENT
The electronic Keihin engine management system regulates the modern fuel injection system on the 990 Adventure R, focusing on smooth power under partial load or spontaneous responsiveness when needed. In this way, KTM engineers were able to harmonize raw power with optimum rideability.
