The 2022 KTM Adventure Rider Rally in the heart of the Idaho mountains was the launch venue for the “next level” KTM 890 Adventure R. With Chris Birch and Quinn Cody onboard to show off the capabilities, it seemed a fitting location for the sportiest of KTM’s “travel” range to break cover.

The KTM 890 platform. Read our review of the KTM 890 Adventure here. For the new 890 SMT, KMT has essentially taken the 890 Adventure and discarded the off-road capabilities, replaced the wheels with 17-inch rims front and back, streamlined the fairings, and swapped the suspension out, all in the name of better (and more fun) road performance.
KTM has a revised the 890 Adventure R for 2023 with reworked suspension, a five-inch TFT dash, and a new look, but none of that is what is causing a stir among some motorcyclists. Instead, it's something KTM calls "demo mode." The 2023 KTM 890 Adventure R comes with a wide array of electronic rider aids and optional features when you buy it
Great review of the KTM. I recently purchases an 890 Adventure R. Initially I looked for a pre-owned 790 but they are scarce so I got a new 890. I also considered Yamaha’s Tenere 700 but they are even harder to find. I am 68 years old and returning to off road riding after being away from that side of the sport for 25 years.
