We were able to borrow a 2021 KTM 890 Adventure Rally for a few days from one of our readers. Thank you Bill! We had Adam Booth out and we put some miles on it to get our impressions articulated on video. Let us know what you think in the comments below.

*Extremely* expensive. HOWEVER, think how many people spend much, much, much more money on a second (typically sporty) car (which is of course inherently severely limited on the public highway) or (dare I say it) waste it over time on all sorts of pointless mind-altering nonsense! I say spend the money on this sort of exotic KTM uber platform and get out there and spend the time learning to get the very best out of the bike even if you'll never be a rally champ. It'll take you to all sorts of amazing places, you meet all sorts of people and it keeps you fit and hyper alert. Fantastic machine. Fantastic hobby.

@UPSHIFT_ONLINE 3 года назад

Gotta love modern ADV bikes. It's a great time to be a Dualsport/ADV rider.

@sanbje 3 года назад

I got the 890 Rally, and I am super happy with it. They call the 1290 Super Duke R the beast, but I think they gotta start to consider to give that throne to the 890 Rally.

@UPSHIFT_ONLINE 3 года назад

Agreed! Thank you for watching.

@bradsanders6954 2 года назад

I agree,I rode an 1190R and to me,it was a little ways past the "too dang big" effect. I dont need 150HP. The 890R yeah its pretty ridable. To me its no dirtbike,I like 2 strokes. But the 890 is REALLY fun everywhere I go.

@awakeadventurer9198 2 года назад

@@bradsanders6954 yeah I had a 1290SAR. Really fun bike but just too big n heavy off-road. I'd rather use more energy having fun longer. It's not a comfortable distance bike on the street either.

@FanOWater 3 года назад

I have the 790R and am 5'8" and most of times I've dropped the bike is when I'm trying to turn it around in the dirt. Short legs suck. Ha Ha

@UPSHIFT_ONLINE 3 года назад

Yeah, not of our crew has a long inseam. We are in a never ending battle over ground clearance and being able to touch the ground.

@davekramer1353 3 года назад

I rode one of the Adventure R models this spring at a KTM Ride Day. I have been trying very hard to stay away from the dealer because I want one. I already have 13 vintage and modern off-road dirt bikes. How many does one need? Always one more.

@UPSHIFT_ONLINE 3 года назад

As it turns out... you always need one more!

@olive8252 3 года назад

They sort so well in the garage. I was thinking the same thing. I would be at 4 :)

@douggardner3801 3 года назад

Dave, as you know 13 is a unlucky number, better get the KTM.

@jamesbarratt593 2 года назад

You need this

@jasonduckworth1525 2 года назад

You can have mine the throttle is awful to ride with and below 50 you have to be in 3rd, no way to have a relaxing ride on this bike

@t.k.1448 3 года назад

The Rally also gets the Hardparts Dirt Star narrower, tube wheel set. That upgrade is also worth close to a grand. I'd put that upgrade as number two on the list below suspension. The rest is nice, but has little impact on performance.

@UPSHIFT_ONLINE 3 года назад

Agreed, the wheel upgrade is a big deal and we should have put more emphasis on that detail. When you are running and gunning making these videos, we sometimes miss things despite our best efforts to get it all down.

@bradsanders6954 3 года назад

Im 6 foot even. 34" inseam. I barely get one foot down on my normal 890-R. Im fine with that on my dirtbikes with 39" seat heidth...................not so much with a 465 lb bike that I will have luggage on..............that much weight once it starts going down ,it is going down.

@UPSHIFT_ONLINE 3 года назад

It can be challenging to say the least.

@54zk 2 года назад

I have the S model and its getting TracTive suspension, Im 5'4" with a 26" inseam lol. Touching the ground is just a dream forme

@BoogiemanMoto 3 года назад

Don’t you guys have a regular 890 Adventure R in the stable that you got a couple months ago? I thought I saw you mention that in Quinn Cody’s intro video for the 890. I’ve been waiting for some feedback, riding footage, review videos on that one. The Rally is awesome, but not what I’m currently shopping for.

@UPSHIFT_ONLINE 3 года назад

We do have an 890 Adventure R. Since we have that video with Quinn, we had to prioritize other projects. We are a very small company and there just is never enough time to do it all.

@BoogiemanMoto 3 года назад

@@UPSHIFT_ONLINE Awesome. Totally understand. I would love to see a comparison video between the 890 Adventure R and the Triumph 900 Rally Pro.

@oosteveo315 3 года назад

You don't have to touch the ground. You just need to touch the pegs ;)

@UPSHIFT_ONLINE 3 года назад

Glad we cleared that up!

@oosteveo315 3 года назад

"to those that wan't to go a lil faster or go diff places". The suspension on the 890 Adv R is capable and will NOT hinder you from going places.

@UPSHIFT_ONLINE 3 года назад

Never said the Adventure R was not capable. The Rally is simply more refined.

@oosteveo315 3 года назад

You're money would be better spent setting it up for your riding vs the kit they send with the rally. That's my .02

@arcadegamesify Год назад

You think the base r is better than the rally if you aren't going nuts offroad? Not considering the price.

@UPSHIFT_ONLINE Год назад

If you aren't really working it offroad, then save the money. Most of the cost difference between an R and a Rally is the suspension. The Rally is taller too, so if you don't have a long inseam, it becomes an extra thing to navigate.

@arcadegamesify Год назад

@@UPSHIFT_ONLINE Yeah and I could always upgrade the stock R suspension with the cone valves, but with the stock travel so as to not raise the already high seat height. Thanks.

@UPSHIFT_ONLINE Год назад

Exactly! Regardless... the best bike in the world is the bike ya got. Just get out and ride it.

@jamesbarratt593 2 года назад

That is a serious bike. I can imagine grizzly wandering down a trail and running into it face to face. Grizzly eyes fixed sternly offers his low guttural growl, only the 890s growl wins. Grizzly hi tails it through the bushes with KtM 890 rally on his arse. 😱

@UPSHIFT_ONLINE 2 года назад

Hahaha... that's quite the picture you paint. Thank you for watching.

@JohnDoe-xm9ql 3 года назад

Picked up a 890 adventure R recently... It's a beast. Would do it all over again. So much torque.

@UPSHIFT_ONLINE 3 года назад

The power plant is a lot of fun that is for sure.

@Crust2013 3 года назад

Nice doe

@jasonduckworth1525 2 года назад

I haven’t found that it struggles to tractor anything under 50mph has to be done in 3rd, not a pleasant ride at all

First time I've seen those aux light mounts. Details please?

@UPSHIFT_ONLINE 3 года назад

Those lights are from a relatively new brand in the moto light space called Ruby Moto. www.rubymoto.com/ They will be partnering with us on more projects in the future.

Dude, the difference unless your chris birch, is negligible and not worth the extra $$.

What if you want one. And the suspension is significantly better.

@Crust2013 3 года назад

@@UPSHIFT_ONLINE yea man I agree...

@oosteveo315 3 года назад

Not 3k better. You can get better suspension dialed in for you for half the money. But what do I know… lol. I’d smoke both of you lol

@martyllanos73 3 года назад

I disagree. a better suspension makes everyone a better rider from the novice to the pro. If you can afford it, why not. And it's all covered under warranty.

@Advcrazy 3 года назад

You missed the wheels! The rally comes with tubed slightly narrower rimmed wheels with DID rims

@UPSHIFT_ONLINE 3 года назад

Yes we did. After we cut the video we realized we forgot them and the bike was already back with it's owner. We do try hard to nail these, but we do miss things from time to time.
