2025 KTM 790 Adventure Gets Suspension Updates
KTM brought back the 790 Adventure for the 2024 model year giving it a number of updates including a refined Power Assist Slipper Clutch, and engine updates allowing it to run better on low octane fuel.
That’s why it might seem like a quick turnaround for it to get a small, but useful update for 2025 in new suspension. Technically, it's getting the suspension that was on the non-R 890 Adventure, which makes sense as the 790 is replacing it as KTM's base-level middleweight ADV. The new suspension comprises a 43mm WP APEX open cartridge fork and a WP APEX 5446 rear shock (versus the previous 3146 shock) with adjustable rebound damping and a hand adjuster for preload.

A World of Adventure Awaits With the Refined 2025 KTM 790 Adventure
The 2025 KTM 790 ADVENTURE keeps its rightful place alongside the KTM 890 ADVENTURE R as a more affordable, but extremely capable stablemate – with new suspension components setting the bar even higher.
Thanks to a slew of upgrades on the 2024 model, the latest generation KTM 790 ADVENTURE is more stable, more comfortable, and benefits from class-leading electronic rider features.
Reworked throttle bodies also brought cleaner, more efficient fueling and enhanced combustion, and a ‘knock control’ sensor afforded improved capacity for lower octane fuel. The 2024 package included a reworked Power Assist Slipper Clutch, with new friction plates and an airbox that ensures improved breathing.
For 2025, to take the KTM 790 ADVENTURE to the next level, the suspension has received a welcomed upgrade, with the adjustable 43 mm WP APEX open cartridge front fork and WP APEX shock absorber taken directly from the KTM 890 ADVENTURE.
Up front, split function technology separates the compression and rebound damping between the two fork legs thanks to rebound and compression damping adjusters on the top cap of each fork leg. This allows for a more precise setup when riding two-up or more extreme offroad trails.
The adjustable WP APEX shock absorber features 200 mm suspension travel with a rebound damping adjuster and a hand adjuster for the spring preload. This allows for easy alterations to the shock behavior in different riding situations.
The 2025 KTM 790 ADVENTURE also enjoys a wide KTM PowerParts collection, catering to protection, performance, or aesthetic add-ons. Two new dynamic and eye-catching colorways complete the package.
The new KTM 790 ADVENTURE will be available at authorized KTM dealers in March of 2025. For more information, visit ktm.com.
