RALLYE BLUE IN STOCK
There are many travel enduros. But when the asphalt comes to an end, it's the end of the adventure road for most of them. By contrast, thanks to its authentic rallying heritage, the 990 Adventure is just as unlikely to avoid extended trips into the desert as surfing through the curves. With even more V2 power, stable crash bars and a sporty seat. With a stable chassis, disconnectible ABS and plenty of touring goodies, from the frame-anchored fairing to the lockable stowage compartment. 990 Adventure: the most offroad-capable travel enduro in the world. For 2012 in traditional rally blue and stylish whiteg (460.75 lbs)
ENGINE
The 990 Adventure's water-cooled V-engine produces 85 kW (114 hp) – precisely the power you need on fast motorways or in deep sand. The engine impresses with powerful acceleration, superb performance and spontaneous throttle response.
CYLINDER HEAD
Aside from optimum combustion chamber design, the major factors behind the outstanding performance of the 990 Adventure's V-twin with 75° cylinder angle are the state-of-the-art four-valve cylinder heads, each with flow-optimised ducts and two overhead camshafts.
CRANK DRIVE / PISTONS
Particularly lightweight pistons and connecting rods bestow the 990 Adventure's V2 engine with reduced reciprocating weight and hence a decidedly spontaneous responsiveness, underlining its extremely sporty engine characteristics.
ENGINE MANAGEMENT
The electronic Keihin engine management system regulates the modern fuel injection system on the 990 Adventure, focussing on optimum behaviour under partial load and spontaneous responsiveness. In this way, KTM engineers were able to harmonise raw power with optimum rideability.
FRAME AND SWINGARM
The 990 Adventure's tubular space frame made from thin-walled chrome-molybdenum steel tubing with a bolted-on, light alloy subframe only weighs 10.5 kg, yet it impresses with exemplary torsional stiffness. The long swingarm with conical profiles contributes plenty of mechanical grip.
SUSPENSION ELEMENTS
Thanks to multiple setting options, the upside-down telescopic fork and the directly connected shock absorber from WP Suspension allow optimum adjustment of the chassis to suit the individual operational use of the versatile Adventure.
BRAKES AND WHEELS
More than adequate deceleration is ensured on the Adventure by Brembo® brakes featuring the very finest components, such as two floating 300 mm front brake discs. Stable wire-spoked wheels with all-round tyres guarantee perfect suitability for touring with full offroad potential
ABS
The disconnectible dual-circuit ABS system developed in cooperation with Bosch offers total protection against over-braking in all sports and touring situations, while maintaining the full effect and perfect feedback of a genuine sports brake thanks to very fine sensors
WIND SCREEN AND LARGE FUEL TANK
The fairing on the Adventure provides effective protection from the wind and weather and accommodates the clearly structured multi-function cockpit that supplies the rider with all essential information. The fuel tanks with a combined capacity of 19.5 l ensure a long useful working range
SEATING COMFORT
Along with rally styling, the Adventure's perfectly padded twin-level seat ensures firm contact with the ground for all riders and long-distance comfort for both rider and pillion, while also providing crystal-clear feedback for a sportier pace. The large fuel tank surfaces ensure perfect leg contact for riding standing up.
STOWAGE COMPARTMENT, ELECTRIC SOCKET, CENTRE STAND, ENGINE GUARD
There is no shortage of details on the Adventure that distinguish it as a genuine travel enduro: from the practical, easily operated centre stand, the lockable stowage compartment between the tanks and the on-board electrical socket, to the robust engine guard, stable crash bars and hand guards
CRASH BARS
In addition to the standard engine guard, should the worst come to the worst, the Adventure is also equipped with orange powder-coated, extra-stable tubular crash bars, so that the bodywork is not so quickly damaged.
