Reworked throttle bodies also brought cleaner, more efficient fueling and enhanced combustion, and a “knock control” sensor afforded improved capacity for lower octane fuel. The 2024 package included a reworked power assist slipper clutch, with new friction plates and an airbox that ensures improved breathing.
For 2025, to take the KTM 790 ADVENTURE to the next level, the suspension has received a welcomed upgrade, with the adjustable 43-millimeter WP APEX open cartridge front fork and WP APEX shock absorber taken directly from the KTM 890 ADVENTURE.
Up front, split function technology separates the compression and rebound damping between the two fork legs thanks to rebound and compression damping adjusters on the top cap of each fork leg. This allows for a more precise setup when riding two-up or more extreme offroad trails.
The adjustable WP APEX shock absorber features 200-millimeter suspension travel with a rebound damping adjuster and a hand adjuster for the spring preload. This allows for easy alterations to the shock behavior in different riding situations.
The 2025 KTM 790 ADVENTURE also enjoys a wide KTM PowerParts collection, catering to protection, performance or aesthetic add-ons. Two new dynamic and eye-catching colorways complete the package.
The new KTM 790 ADVENTURE will be available at authorized KTM dealers in March of 2025. For more information, visit ktm.com.ting settings of the grips and seat via the switch cubes.
