<p><em><strong>The WP suspension on the 2023&nbsp;890 Adventure R&nbsp;is now completely adjustable on both ends.</strong></em></p>

<p>The 890 Adventure R was on display by <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/ktm/">KTM India</a> at the India Bike Week 2022, currently underway in Goa. The 2023 version of the 890 R has&nbsp;been updated with some fresh styling and several&nbsp;technological enhancements. So, without any further ado, let's have a quick look at all the significant changes received by the&nbsp;KTM 890 Adventure R for 2023.</p>

<p>Speaking of the powertrain, an 889cc LC8c parallel twin engine generating&nbsp;103bhp of maximum power as well as&nbsp;100Nm of peak torque, powers the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/ktm/890-adventure-r/">KTM 890 Adventure R</a>. The motor is coupled with a six-speed transmission and mounted inside a steel tube frame that is supported by WP front forks and a WP mono-shock with compression and rebound adjustments.</p>

<p>Coming to its styling, the KTM 890 Adventure R has an aggressive off-road appearance with a split LED headlight stacked vertically on top of a smoked windscreen. For additional safety, it has a belly pan and handlebar protectors. The windscreen is larger in the latest iteration of the 890 R as compared to its predecessor.&nbsp;The KTM Adventure's chassis features a more prominent front fairing that now connects to the side panels. Moreover, the Continental tyres on the&nbsp;previous models have been replaced by the&nbsp;Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tyres for the 2023 edition.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="Ktm 890 Adventure R 2" height="720" src="/uploads/2022/12/ktm-890-adventure-r-2.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<p>In terms of features, the 890 Adventure R features a&nbsp;TFT screen that gets you access to different rider aids, including traction control, ABS, ride modes, etc. The instrument console of the 2023 version, however, has been redesigned and now includes more functions as well as&nbsp;smartphone connectivity.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, KTM India has not yet made any formal announcement regarding the exact&nbsp;launch timeline of the 2023 890 Adventure R in India. It's unlikely for it to&nbsp;come to our market anytime soon.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

KTM 890 Adventure R makes India debut at IBW 2022

KTM showcased many of its upcoming offerings at the ongoing India Bike Week 2022 in Goa. One of them is the 2023 890 Adventure R, which garnered attention for its technological and stylistic updates.

<p><strong>A new paint scheme but the same old internals. KTM has not hindered with the mechanicals of the 890 Duke R but given it a mild cosmetic update to make the street naked more desirable.</strong></p>

<p>The 2022 890 Duke R is out and the motorcycle features KTM’s livery inspired from its RC16 which is the brand’s MotoGP challenger. However, this colour scheme is already on offer with the KTM 1290 Super Duke R. The paint scheme includes Atlantic Blue body panels complimented by Orange – chromium-molybdenum steel – frame and alloys.</p>

<p>The change is only cosmetic, and the frugal Duke 890 R retains the 889cc inline-two-cylinder engine producing 120bhp and 99Nm mated to a six-speed box. The mechanicals are the same which include fully adjustable WP Apex USD forks and mono-shock. The hooligan machine is also equipped with &nbsp;320mm twin rotors with Brembo Stylema monoblock callipers and a 240 mm disk at the rear for responsible braking. The braking setup is complimented by the Brembo MCS front master cylinder which is adjustable to individual riders. However, these can be upgraded with levers from the KTM Power Parts basket which also includes an Akrapovič end-can system.</p>

<p>One personal favourite feature of the 890 Duke R is the Ultimate riding mode; yes, you read that right – it is called ‘Ultimate’. This Ultimate mode gives access to the throttle control, nine-level traction control and wheelie control; however, this mode comes at a premium cost.</p>

<p>Currently, KTM India retails the 390 Duke which is the flagship in the Duke range. Post selling out all the units of the 790 Duke, KTM India has shown no interest in the premium segment and is showing no signs to introduce their middle-weight adventure motorcycles as well. By now, KTM India should have launched the 2022 RC390, however, the debut has been delayed due to the ongoing chip shortage around the globe.</p>
