KTM Adventure



The KTM 990 Adventure is an updated version of KTM 950 Adventure Dual-sport motorcycle produced in Austria by KTM. The bike is powered by the LC8 liquid cooled, four-stroke, DOHC 999 cc 75° V-twin engine, based on the design used in the KTM 990 Super Duke, producing around 78 kW (105 hp). It is capable of a top speed of around 123 mph (198 km/h).



If the power and torque remain the same in comparison with the 950 Adventure, they operate 500 rpm earlier.
Bore x Stroke evolved from 100 x 60mm to 101 x 62.4mm. The camshaft is also changing to accommodate the new engine specifications.
Carburetor is now replaced with the electronic fuel injection.
Brembo two channel ABS appears (except the S version).

It stays true to KTM's very successful off-road roots, while also staying planted and stable on the highways. Since it competes with similar bikes such as the segment leading BMW GS, the beautiful Ducati Multistrada and the Yamaha Super Tenere.
