THE 2025 KTM 890 ADVENTURE R KEEPS ITS SEAT AS THE KING OF MID-WEIGHT ADVENTURERS

Designed for riders seeking more, the 2025 KTM 890 ADVENTURE R is set to retain its crown in the mid-weight travel kingdom – with a new look to boot. The KTM 890 ADVENTURE R nameplate is well-known – and for good reason. Offroad excellence and next-level capability have made it the go-to machine for hardcore Adventure riders. Taking cues from the Dakar-winning KTM 450 RALLY, the WP suspension package on the 2025 KTM 890 ADVENTURE R features time-proven hardware on each end, with a WP XPLOR 48mm fork and a WP XPLOR PDS rear shock getting the job done. 

Aesthetically, the KTM 890 ADVENTURE R also leans on its KTM 450 RALLY stable mate, with a low windshield, high front fender, rally-styled bodywork, and enhanced body protection. Rider comfort hasn’t been forgotten, however, with the offroad-focused single-piece seat emphasizing mobility and grip, and a revitalized graphic set for 2025 finishing the looks package.

The 2025 KTM 890 ADVENTURE R might have a new graphics package but retains its proven hardware underneath.

By Rohan "Iceman" Donohoe Part 1 In 2025, I was lucky enough to join Edelweiss Motorcycle Tours for a 10-day adventure called “Road to Romania”. The trip included the European KTM Rally in Sibiu, Romania. The tour began in Lengua, Austria, with 18 riders from around the world. We travelled through Admont, Austria, Maribor, Slovenia, before continuing over the next two days to Pécs in Hungary and Timișoara in Romania.
