From a press release issued by KTM and an extract from their web-site:

The KTM 890 ADVENTURE R nameplate is well-known – and for good reason. Offroad excellence and next-level capability have made it the go-to machine for hardcore Adventure riders.

The KTM 890 ADVENTURE R proves that the destination comes second. With its unmatched ability to dispatch everything from highways to rocky gravel switchbacks, to single goat tracks, the KTM 890 ADVENTURE R boasts serious travel capabilities. Thanks to its incredibly responsive powerplant, pin-sharp offroad handling, and all-day comfort, its all about the journey.

Taking cues from the Dakar-winning KTM 450 RALLY, the WP suspension package on the 2025 KTM 890 ADVENTURE R features time-proven hardware on each end, with a WP XPLOR 48mm fork and a WP XPLOR PDS rear shock getting the job done.

Aesthetically, the KTM 890 ADVENTURE R also leans on its KTM 450 RALLY stable mate, with a low windshield, high front fender, rally-styled bodywork, and enhanced body protection. Rider comfort hasn’t been forgotten, however, with the offroad-focused single-piece seat emphasizing mobility and grip, and a revitalized graphic set for 2025 finishing the looks package.

The 2025 KTM 890 ADVENTURE R might have a new graphics package but retains its proven hardware underneath. For 2025, the Connectivity Unit is included as standard to enable connection between the KTMConnect app and the TFT via Bluetooth for Turn-by-Turn+ navigation, music, and incoming calls.
