For 2020 KTM have evolved the 790 Adventure by adding a de-tuned version of the beefier engine found in the Duke 890 R, increasing the power by 11 bhp and the red line by 1,500 rpm.

They have also upgraded the rear shock to be more adjustable, beefed up the clutch, improved the traction control / ABS, tweaked the suspension settings and updated the optional quickshifter however it's 7 kg heavier.

As before the air filter can be found under the seat, making it easily accessible for cleaning. The wire-spoked 21" front wheel takes an Avon TrailRider 90/90 tyre and the rear 18" a 150/70.
