KTM 890 Duke R

KTM 890 Duke R And 890 Adventure Lands In Malaysia – From RM75,800

KTM Malaysia has officially launched the new KTM 890 Duke R and 890 Adventure for the local market.

  • The KTM 890 Duke R and 890 Adventure gets a host of upgrades.
  • Both motorcycle features moden electronic package and the same 890cc parallel-twin engine. 

KTM 890 Adventure – RM96,800

The new motorcycle made its global appearance when the world was in the midst of Covid-19 madness back in October 2020.

At the time, KTM unveiled the 890 Adventure and the 890 Adventure R Rally but only the former is available for our market, for now.

Nevertheless, the KTM 890 Adventure runs the 889cc parallel-twin engine which has significant upgrades from the previous 790 generation. They’ve also upgraded other things like traction control, ABS, and electronics to make them more ‘wholesome’ for everyday riding.

They’re also coming in hot with a new set of fully adjustable WP XPLOR 48mm front forks while the rear is handled with the WP XPLOR PDS unit. This combo offers separate compression settings for low and high speeds, so you don’t have to mess with it too much once you get off the highway and onto the dirt.

KTM 890 Duke R – RM75,800

Also joining the Malaysian market is the new KTM 890 Duke R retailed at RM75,800.

As usual, the 890 Duke R offers a weird yet perfect contrast of colours, which only KTM can deliver.

First introduced in 2020, the KTM 890 Duke R continue to be the undisputed champion of the middleweight naked bike category.

Underneath the fancy paint sit s the famous 890cc parallel-twin engine that boasts an impressive 121hp and 99Nm.

The KTM 890 Duke R remains a no-nonsense middleweight naked bike, equally capable of tackling twisty corners on normal roads as it is on the racetrack.

Dubbed The Super Scalpel due to its lightning-fast steering geometry, the KTM 890 Duke R continue to feature a tubular steel chassis and adjustable WP Apex suspension.

Also available on the 890 Duke R is a pair of
Brembo Stylema callipers with 320mm front disc, and adjustable Brembo MCS master cylinder to counteract the enormous power.

The 890 Duke R also features a host of electronics wizardly, which includes:

  • Cornering ABS
  • Cornering MTC (traction control)
  • 6D lean-angle sensor (roll, pitch & yaw)
  • Riding mode (Rain/Street/Sport and Track)
  • 9-levels adjustable traction control slop
  • anti-wheelie
  • throttle control settings
As always, a full range of KTM PowerParts has been developed to allow owners to personalize the 890 Duke R accordingly.

KTM’s Latest 890 Duke GP Is Just A Brushed Up Version Of The Base Model

When KTM announced its Midweight NAKED February campaign, we got excited as we were confident the Austrian company was set to kick off 2022 with some exciting news with two new models.

Unfortunately, the first bike was just a 2022 890 Duke R revised with a cooler Atlantic Blue base colour, lifted directly from the 1290 Super Duke R.

The 2022 890 Duke R continues to offer the same engine and same specifications as the previous generation.

We hoped for better news coming from the Mattighofen factory for the second bike, but sadly KTM delivered another blow with the 2022 890 Duke GP.

While it carries the GP badge, the new bike is just a brushed up version of the ‘base’ 890 Duke and is characterized by a single-rider seat (also available on the R) and “new” MotoGP-inspired graphics.

Other “upgrades” include an orange-painted rim and rear subframe.

Like the 2022 890 Duke R, the specifications remain unchanged, as the 889cc twin-cylinder LC8 engine continues to pump 115hp and 92Nm.

The 890 Duke GP also features the same WP Apex suspension, 6-axis inertial platform that controls onboard electronics function, including cornering traction control, cornering ABS, and riding modes.

2022 KTM 890 Duke R Launched – Same Engine, Cooler Paint Job

KTM begins its ‘Midweight NAKED February’ by unveiling the 2022 890 Duke R.

The new model year comes with an all-new Atlantic Blue base colour, lifted directly from the KTM 1290 Super Duke R.

 

The colour is also reminiscent of the palate used on the KTM RC16 MotoGP bike.

Nevertheless, the signature orange frame continues to offer a weird yet perfect contrast of colours, which only KTM can deliver.

First introduced in 2020, the KTM 890 Duke R continue to be the undisputed champion of the middleweight naked bike category.

Underneath the new paint job sits the famous 890cc parallel-twin engine that boasts an impressive 121hp and 99Nm.

The KTM 890 Duke R remains a no-nonsense middleweight naked bike, equally capable of tackling twisty corners on normal roads as it is on the racetrack.

Dubbed The Super Scalpel due to its lightning-fast steering geometry, the KTM 890 Duke R continue to feature a tubular steel chassis and adjustable WP Apex suspension.

The 890 Duke R is equipped with Brembo Stylema callipers, 320mm front disc, and adjustable Brembo MCS master cylinder to counteract the enormous power.

Meanwhile, the 890 Duke R also comes with Michelin Power Cup 2 tyres that ensure a reliable grip on every asphalt surface.

The 890 Duke R also features a host of electronics wizardly, which includes:

  • Cornering ABS
  • Cornering MTC (traction control)
  • 6D lean-angle sensor (roll, pitch & yaw)
  • Riding mode (Rain/Street/Sport and Track)
  • 9-levels adjustable traction control slop
  • anti-wheelie
  • throttle control settings

As always, a full range of KTM PowerParts has been developed to allow owners to personalize the 890 Duke R accordingly.

According to KTM, the 2022 890 Duke R will soon find its way to the dealership worldwide.

KTM Perkenalkan 890 DUKE R – 121hp, 99Nm

Ketika KTM melancarkan 790 Duke tahun lalu, jentera berkonsep naked itu terus mencuri tumpuan dan mendapat reviu positif.

Bagi tahun 2020, KTM memperkenalkan 890 Duke R – bukan sebagai pengganti 790 – yang menawarkan kuasa ekstra.

Meskipun dunia dilanda pandemik Covid-19, situasi itu tidak menyekat KTM daripada memperkenalkan jentera baharu itu menerusi strim langsung di YouTube.

Diberi jolokan ‘Super Scalpel’, jentera baharu ini menawarkan 122hp pada 9,250rpm dan 99Nm pada 7,750rpm.

Buat julung kalinya dalam sejarah KTM, model 890 Duke R sememangnya didatangkan dengan enjin bersesaran 890cc, tidak seperti 790 Duke yang sebenarnya menggunakan enjin 799cc.

Sistem transmisi turut dinaik taraf kali ini dengan penggunaan spring lebih ringan bagi memudahkan pertukaran gear.

Kalau nak kejar lebih keterujaan, pelanggan boleh memilih tetapan Quickshifter+.

KTM 890 Duke R ini turut didatangkan dengan pelbagai elektronik terbaru antaranya:

  • Cornering ABS
  • Traction Control
  • Mod tunggangan – RAIN, STREET, SPORT (opsyen TRACK)
  • Kaliper brek Brembo Stylemo Monoblock
  • Fork depan WP (USD) 43mm boleh laras
  • Penyerap hentakan belanag WP APEX boleh laras

Bagi menawarkan keselesaan tunggangan, tempat duduk 890 Duke R naik 15mm berbanding 790 sekaligus ‘ground clearance – 20mm – yang lebih baik.

VIDEO HARI INI

2020 KTM 890 Duke R Also Appears at EICMA 2019

  • The 2020 KTM 890 Duke R was also launched at EICMA 2019. 

  • Updates to the bike refines what the 790 Duke was bad at.

  • The new bike weighs only 166 kg, dry.

The 2020 KTM 890 Duke R was also launched at EICMA 2019.

While looking almost identical, the 890 Duke R is what the 790 Duke should’ve been and more.

Starting from the engine, KTM increased both bore and stroke to 90.7 mm and 68.8 mm. Doing so ups power to 120 bhp and 99 Nm of torque, from 105 bhp and 87 Nm.

As with other new KTMs the 890 Super Duke R also receives front and rear WP Apex suspension. The Austrian manufacturer chose to bin the 790’s J. Juan front brake calipers, too. In their place are now Brembo Stylema calipers that have so far been seen on bigger bikes only.

Cornering traction control, ABS are present and motor slip regulation (MSR), thanks to an inertial measurement unit (IMU), along with the “supermoto mode” to drift the rear wheel. The up and down quickshifter is optional, of course.

The bike weighs only 166 kg, dry despite the revisions. KTM dubs it the “Super Scalpel.”

No price yet but it’s expected to cost more than the old bike. Another thing is we wonder if it’ll debut in Malaysia. Although the 790 Duke was super cheap overseas it became rather expensive when it reached our shores.

Triumph's Tiger 900 series does not need any introduction and can be considered one of the best in the market. But with the Aragon edition, it became into a package that can be described as perfect. In this video, we take it for a spin with some friends and see what it is like. #TriumphMotorcycles #TriumphTiger #TriumphTiger900

We like motorcycle boots that don't look like motorcycle boots. That just adds versatility to them and allows you to use them for purposes other than just riding. That's the first thing we like about the Eleveit Nirvana WP boots, but there are things we don't quite like either. Watch the video to find out! #Eleveit #EleveitBoots #MotorcycleReview

Oh the blasphemy! We called the Trident 660 a beginner's superbike, but we standby it wholeheartedly. The Trident is fast and a lot of fun, but it is also very accessible for anyone with just a little bit of experience. And there's not much to worry about either, it is not overly complicated and neither is it very big and heavy. Are u a newbie looking to trade up to a bigger bike? The Triumph Trident 660 may just be worth a look. #TriumphMotorcycles #TriumphTrident #TriumphTrident660
