KTM has released the 2026 890 Adventure R Rally to the UK market, with a limited number now at authorised dealers, priced at £19,299.
The machine tops KTM’s mid-capacity adventure range and is aimed, the company says, at riders wanting factory-level specification straight from the showroom. The 889cc parallel twin produces 105hp and 100Nm of torque, and is paired with hardware derived directly from KTM’s competition programme, rather than using adapted road components.
The suspension is the headline differentiator, delivering 270mm of travel. The WP XPLOR PRO fork uses cone valve technology, which works alongside a matching rear shock to provide damping performance across rough terrain that the standard 890 Adventure R cannot match, with, KTM says, “class-leading bottoming resistance and front-end composure, even when the bike is loaded”.
Electronics are comprehensive, including off-road ABS, multiple ride modes, a dedicated rally mode, traction control, motor slip regulation, and Quickshifter+, all managed via a 5in TFT display with turn-by-turn navigation. Cruise control is included in the Tech Pack.
The 2026 model gets a Red Bull KTM Factory Racing-inspired colourway, carbon tank guards, an Akrapovič exhaust, rally seat, factory footpegs and heavy-duty 21/18in wheels.
KTM is backing the model with its Premium Manufacturer’s Warranty, offering up to four years of coverage. Visit www.ktm.com for further information.
