The 2023 890 Adventure R is an off-road-focused update with rally-inspired bodywork taken from the KTM 450 Rally, including a new fairing, tank, cowling, lower windscreen, higher front fender and engine protector. The suspension was retuned to reduce rider fatigue on long days, and the electronics gained a 5-inch TFT, improved off-road ABS and a Demo mode that lets buyers try the features for the first 1,500 km. It was launched in western Idaho, USA.
