When KTM introduced the 790 Adventure back in 2017, it set a new standard in the middleweight adventure bike segment. Back then, if you wanted a lightweight and nimble adventure bike with respectable off-road capability, you really had few choices other than the Suzuki V-Strom 650, or perhaps a BMW F 800 GS.
You could argue that the KTM 790 Adventure gave birth to the wide selection of middleweight adventure bikes with a focus on off-road performance. While the model has been succeeded by the highly acclaimed 890 Adventure R, the humble old 790 Adventure has been confirmed once again for the 2024 model-year.
