2021 KTM 890 Adventure – Why it’s a perfect middle weight choice

The 2021 KTM 890 Adventure may look almost identical to the outgoing 790 Adventure, but there have been some significant changes under the skin. To meet Euro 5 requirements KTM chose to up the capacity, bring more power and more torque, BUT it also brings more weight.
So as a KTM 790 Adventure owner, what do these changes mean for the riding experience? In this video I take a look at what's changed and how the 890 Adventure compares to the 790, both on and off-road.

The off-bike footage was filmed with an Insta360 One X2 - https://tiny.one/OneX2deal
