The 2017 KTM 1090 Adventure R is a standout in the adventure motorcycle segment, designed for riders who crave off-road capability without sacrificing on-road performance. Here’s a detailed review:

Performance and Handling

The 1090 Adventure R is powered by a 1,050cc V-twin engine that delivers a robust 125 horsepower. This engine is derived from KTM’s 1190 Adventure but has been tuned for better low-end torque, making it more suitable for off-road adventures1. The bike’s power delivery is smooth and predictable, which is essential for maintaining control on rough terrain.

Suspension and Brakes

One of the highlights of the 1090 Adventure R is its suspension setup. It features fully adjustable WP suspension with 220mm of travel both front and rear, allowing it to handle a variety of off-road conditions with ease1. The bike is also equipped with Brembo brakes, which provide excellent stopping power and control, even when the bike is loaded with gear.

Design and Ergonomics

The 1090 Adventure R sports a rugged, purposeful design that is typical of KTM’s adventure bikes. It has a high ground clearance and a 21-inch front wheel, which are ideal for off-road riding2. The bike’s ergonomics are well thought out, with a comfortable seat and handlebars that provide a natural riding position, making long rides less tiring.

Electronics and Features
While the 1090 Adventure R doesn’t come with the high-end electronics of its bigger sibling, the 1290 Super Adventure R, it still offers essential features like traction control, ABS, and multiple riding modes1. These features enhance the bike’s versatility and safety, both on and off the road.

On-Road and Off-Road Capability

On the road, the 1090 Adventure R is surprisingly nimble and stable, thanks to its well-balanced chassis and responsive engine2. Off-road, it truly shines, with its capable suspension and robust build allowing it to tackle challenging trails and rough terrain with confidence3.

Conclusion

The 2017 KTM 1090 Adventure R is a versatile and capable adventure bike that excels in off-road conditions while still being comfortable and enjoyable on the road. It’s a great choice for riders who want a bike that can handle long-distance touring and serious off-road adventures
