TECHNICAL FEATURES

• Smartphone connectivity giving access to music & calls
• Bosch 9.1 MP (incl. Cornering-ABS and off-road mode, dis-engageable)
• Cornering Motorcycle Traction Control (CMTC) now with independent controllers
• CMTC with one for wheel slip and another for pitch angle
• Pitch control can be felt in straight line acceleration with a more constant flow as the power reduction is less abrupt and severe
• In a matter of milliseconds, the CMTC software smoothly reduces engine output through intervention at the throttle valves
• The amount of rear wheel traction slip then depends on the selected CMTC ride mode
• The CMTC system can be deactivated entirely
• Increased the precision and efficiency of its Cornering ABS software
• Enhanced braking power while minimizing the intrusion of the ABS
• Offroad ABS means braking activation on the front wheel is reduced and the lean angle sensor is deactivated
• Cruise control hardware is factory fitted with optional software to finalise and activate
• Electric starter with 12V 10Ah battery
• Bosch EMS with Ride By Wire (RBW)
• Full LED lighting (headlight, taillight, blinkers, plate light, DRL)
• 889 cc, 4-stroke, parallel twin, DOHC motor
• 77 kW power at 8,000 rpm
• 100 Nm torque at 6,500 rpm
• Compression ratio 13.5:1
• 90.7 mm of bore and 68.8 mm of stroke
• Stable engine character at low and mid throttle use
• Forged box pistons with three rings and a shorter piston pin
• Two oil jets per piston for optimal cooling of the components
• Two balancer shafts to accompany the larger scale of engine performance
• Balance shafts, one is located towards the front of the crankshaft and the other in the cylinder head
• V-shape conrod contributes to less oscillating mass
• The top end bearing contains a bronze conrod instead of one that is DLC coated
• Horizontally split crankcases are made from a high pressure aluminum cast
• The weight has been optimised through detailed attention to wall thickness the surfaces of the material in order to fabricate the most efficient design
• Open deck cylinders have been fully integrated
• Any interference between the cylinders at low or partial throttle opening has been eliminated by removal of the connection between the two intake tracts
• A knock sensor on the cylinder head improves the robust nature of the engine for the 890 range
• The sensor has been fitted to detect any ‘knocking combustions’ and is a well-thought addition for the travel segment when dealing with different quality of fuel from country to country
• The sensor helps momentarily delay the ignition to combat knocking combustion and preserves engine life
• A large oil cooler as part of the semi-dry sump system
• Reduction of friction losses is generated by actively pumping oil out of the crankcase, clutch housing and gearbox
• Liquid cooled with water and oil heat exchanger
• Two Dell’Orto 46mm throttle bodies fitted with two new sensors for effective pressure reading of each manifold
• A fuel cell with a narrow shape places the bulk of the fuel as low as possible to help with the position of the centre of gravity
• Stainless steel primary and secondary exhaust silencer
• Cable-operated PASC slipper clutch
• The slipper clutch function controls rear wheel chatter while also making gear changes much easier and smoother to coincide with long hours in the saddle
• Light spring actions, shorter shift lever travel
• Gearbox has been toughened with glass beading on the 4th, 5th and 6th gear cogs
• Euro5 compliant
• Motorex, Power Synth SAE 10W-50 engine oil
• Slim profile, refined ergonomics & catchy graphics
• Travel-ready with two-part, adjustable seat & low fender
• Unmistakable aesthetic and identity
• Dakar-inspired bike design
• Cornering stability due to the gyroscopic function of the internals
• Chromium-Molybdenum steel frame using the engine as stressed element, powder coated
• Chromium-Molybdenum steel trellis subframe, powder coated
• KTM kept this bike slim and manageable with a low seat height but also with enough ground clearance and usability to allow riders to explore the outer limits of every adventure
• Weight has been saved while not compromising strength or rigidity, reached through lighter steel profiles of the trellis structure
• Ergonomics are cleverly formulated to match the resourcefulness of the bike and the role it is designed for
• Fuel with low centralisation assists handling which is keenly felt offroad
• Riders can bring their knees closer to the centre of the bike when standing up and the dirt bike profile of the seat facilitates movement
• Positioning of the tank in the chassis helps towards the lower seat height while the section towards the bottom even protects riders’ feet from spray water and cold air
• High-quality WP Suspension components & new rear shock
• Anodised wheel hubs
• WP Suspension XPLOR Technology
• The rear brake system isolated pistons in the caliper work with isolation plates between the pads and piston for more heat stability
• A stainless-steel rear brake hose fitting
• Front 2 × radially mounted 4 piston caliper, brake disc Ø 320 mm
• Rear 2 piston floating caliper, brake disc Ø 260 mm
• Front WP XPLOR 48 forks
• Originally developed for full-on enduro racing, it has springs on both sides, but also separates the damping functions of the two fork legs
• Both are easily adjusted using twist dials on the top of the forks, and a sealed hydrostop guarantees excellent resistance against bottoming out
• Rear WP XPLOR monoshock
• Rear WP XPLOR shock absorber with 240 mm of travel to match the front fork for performance riding in extreme offroad conditions
• Rear is fully adjustable for preload, separate high and low speed compression and rebound damping
• Rear suspension features KTM’s proprietary progressive damping system (PDS) as used in the brand’s racing Enduro models, which delivers progressive damping, without the need of a linkage system
• Bottoming resistance is provided by a second piston, which works together with a closed cup (instead of a needle) towards the end of the stroke and is supported by a progressive shock spring
• Spoked wheels with aluminium rims
• Mitas Enduro Trail+ tyres
• Front 90/90 21 M/C 54T M+S TL tyre
• Rear 150/70 B 18 M/C 70T M+S TL tyre
• 20 litre fuel capacity, approximate 400km range riding dependant
• Primary drive 39:75
• Final drive 16:45
• X-chain ring 520
• Aluminum, tapered, Ø 28/ 22 mm handlebars
• Wheelbase 1,509 mm ± 15 mm
• 263 mm ground clearance
• Travel front and rear 240 mm
• 63.7° steering head angle
• Front wheel 2.50 × 21″
• Rear wheel 4.50 x 18″
• Front tyre 90/90-21″
• Rear tyre 150/70-18″
