KTM has brought back the 790 Adventure for 2025, and this time, it’s grabbing attention not just with its price but also with its features. Let’s just get this out of the way: this bike stands out not only for its updated suspension but also for the questions it raises in our minds.
790 or 890? We’re Confused Too!
Key Highlights:

Yes, the 790 Adventure shines with its budget-friendly price. But is it worth paying extra for the 890 and its 100cc advantage? KTM markets the 790 as a “budget-friendly but highly capable sibling.” However, we can’t help but wonder: apart from the price tag, what will most riders prioritize?
The Verdict is Yours:
With its updated features, the 2025 KTM 790 Adventure offers an excellent balance of price and performance. But we must admit, it’s a bit perplexing alongside the 890. Which one makes more sense to you? Let us know your thoughts!
