On November 29, 2022, KTM released its modestly updated 890 Adventure, just in time to make your days merry and bright. For the new year, Team Orange worked some key refinements into the mix of the 2023 model to improve rider experience in the saddleand, of course, encourage riders to spend more time there. Let’s take a look.
Starting with the saddle itself, KTM chose to make the 2023 890 Adventure more accessible to a wider range of riders by lowering the stock seat height. It now sits at 825mm (just under 32.5 inches), and the accessory lowering kit can bring it down to 800mm (just under 31.5 inches) if needed. Ground clearance, KTM says, remains high because of how it’s situated the rear shock, but no official figures are given for comparison.
