- Our first ride with the 2020 KTM 790 Adventure R. See how it holds up on some single track and loose rocky hill climbs. Will this bike keep with with the smaller and lighter bikes on terrain that they are built for?
- Zábava
You are so crazy, your friends were sweating with bikes that are half of the size of yours! You are almost ready to join Pol Tarres in the next Romaniacs!
Pol is on a way different level than I am. I would love to do Romanics on a 300 one year
There's a KTM engineer watching this from their house in Austria, crying tears of joy to see the machine they designed being used properly. Well done mate, excellent review!
Thanks Trooper 😊
Dude. Full respect. That hill climb took more commitment than my grandparents marriage.
Yeah. Brilliant mate.
In all my years, drinking in Bike mags and shows and Top Gear and being totally absorbed in everything motor driven, I've never seen such a functional and useful review of a vehicles abilities beyond its design parameters.
Every part of this told me something good about the 790 in the worst terrain.
I hope this gets the traction it deserves, and respect to your significant abilities on it, on your first day.
Unbelievable.
Thanks so much, Duncan. Exactly what were going for
Man, that’s the classiest compliment I have read, and rightfully deserved!
Wow, brutal trails. What a stud rider. No, I would have turned back early on that ride. I bought one and I’m looking forward to using it down south of the border in the more open terrain. Thanks for the video.

That was the hardest terrain I saw being ridden with one of the "adventure bikes". Didnt expect that it was possible with this bike, great riding!
Now it would be nice to see you riding the same trails with a Yamaha Tenere 700 so there would be at least one really useful comparison between those two bikes in the internet...
Hopefully someone at Yamaha sees this and sends me one to play with :)
@@EverySingleSunday You can check Cabras Sobre Ruedas youtube channel. He does just that in a very recent video at Basella Race, in Spain. Cheers!
@@calin7017 will do
There's ~NO WAY~ that I would've taken my brand new 790 on a single like that. You're a better man than I am. I think you're right by thinking you could use to drop a tooth or two in the front sprocket. From the sound of the motor, I'd probable drop one. Best of luck at Big Bear. Two big "thumbs up" from this Kentucky boy.
Yes, going to go down 1 for sure and see what she does. From there we may go up 1 -2 out back to fine tune it. don't want to loose too much for cursing around on faster roads
the KTMs have no low end from what I read so thats no surprise, youve gotta drop it for any technical riding.
KTM should sponsor you for this vid. Great Review
The way he talks about it I think they do or he is hoping for it .
one of the best adventure vids I have ever seen. a real demo and review EPIC!!! im subscribing because of this .
Love this bike and just ordered a Yamaha T700
I'm so impressed! Watching you ride this thing today was really inspiring and humbling haha. Savage!
So much fun today :-)
Well that answers my question of 'will this bike do what I want it too?!!' This was way more valuable then all the reviews I watched! thanks!
I appreciate the honest review by a good rider on real trails.
One of best videos I’ve seen. Thank You
that was awesome seeing the bike doing mad things rather than going to the shops is fantastic , love the content
Amazing bike and amazing skills. Perfect combo!! Congrats
Awesome video-- Getting my 790R early April -- can't wait !!
Such an amazing bike. You'll love it
Great recovery on the hill - you've certainly shown the pros and cons of a great bike - excellent riding man!
This is exactly why I own a DRZ and an Africa Twin. Best of both worlds. While I'm not a Orange fan, I'm glad you got it, and I think you are really going to enjoy it.
Mad skills,respect.
That was crazy. AND I know it would have looked/been sooooooooo much steeper than it looks on camera. Can't believe you rode that. I wouldn't/couldn't manage those trails on a DRZ400.
So gnarly. The 15 seconds I rode that behimith I was over it..lol
You cray cray
I love my 790 R and done some difficult trail but have never put it through that gnarly of terrain. That was impressive riding on that size of bike. Great review!
Talent, Courage on a mid weight adventure bike on a single track. Thanks for sharing! I like it!
Thanks man. I'm definitely enjoying the bike :)
This is fully sick mate! What an awesome ride! Shows the capabilities of the bike very well. And tells me where my skills end.
folding mirror, Seat Concept seat, smaller CS and you're set! Great flogging! Juan.
I have all that stuff now except for the seat. Definitely been thinking about that one
Holy cow, you took that 790 in some insane places! Great riding!
Great job! Total beast mode!
This is definitely what an adventure bike was made for! A great content and great honest review from you too! To be honest, I watched it till the end and hit the subscribe button immediately.
Glad you enjoyed the video. We just posted another one this week that has some even more crazy stuff
Glad to have you checking out the channel
@@EverySingleSunday You guys are great trail rider! I'm an on road rider but will soon to experience off road if ever I'll get my first adventure bike. But because I've watched your content, my first and last option would be KTM 790 Adventure! Thanks to you, I got a lil bit of experience by watching your content. More power to you guys!
Excellent video! Demonstrating the abilities of this bike as you have in these tough riding conditions and showing what it is capable of is a big reason why I bought one. I was looking to replace my DR650 with something more streetable while still being a great dual sport dirt wise. KTM nailed it! Keep up the great vids guys!
Amazing, great pilot and great machine!!
Thanks 😊
Before anyone goes out trying this, remember this man's skill is 10/10.
This dude's riding is unbelievable
Thanks 😊
I MUST SAY YOU ARE ONE HELL OF A RIDER .YOU ARE IMPRESSED WITH THE BIKE AND I THINK YOU ARE MORE IMPRESSIVE 💪
Straight Beast Mode!!!! KTM should sponsor you for this.
Those rocky drop downs had me clamping my seat man ! Crazy ridin ! Big ups !
I love these big bikes. They soak it all up just fine
Haven’t even started watching yet and I already know I’m going to like seeing you on the bigger bike.
Let me know what you think once you get done watching this one
great riding. the limit to most adv bikes isn't the bike, it's the rider skills. you've got mad skillz and courage.
Love the skid plate and thanks for the tip on the handle bar mounts, did not know that. Subscribed!
Glad you got something out of these videos. Thanks
Wow! impressive bike and determined riding. Thumbs up!
Dude.... this is amazing.. you did push it to it’s limits...
Our local dealers are sold out of these before the season even starts. Amazing video review. Thanks for sharing.
It's a solid bike for sure and definitely hard to get still.
Muy buen video, excelente desempeño por trocha, felicitaciones y ojalá hagas mas videos como este!
Dammm great video you guys..
I'm tired just watching.
Inspirational..
Safe travels gentlemen.
🙏👍🇺🇸
Thanks John
great review man! Love this KTM
good on ya mate, thats what these things r made for, adventures no matter how easy or hard
Dude, incredible footage. I would never take a bike that heavy in such technical stuff. A 701 maybe, but that ADV is a champ for what you put it thru. Best technical footage I've seen on this bike. Congrats!
Thanks Mark. More awesome footage on the BikeBandit Channel of this machine in action. Check it out
I'm in love with this bike. Definitely going to be my next upgrade.
Btw you make it look too damn easy. Great video!
First, I have to say is WOW. I wouldn't believe it, unless I've seen it. I've seen it, but still can't believe it. In the past I watched your videos wanting to get into more off road riding. I live in SoCal and a lot of your riding takes place in the area. I did a lot of research and needed a dual purpose bike. I was wanting a 690 or 701 but made a mistake taking my girl with me. She took a look at the two bikes and ask how was she going to ride on the back. She enjoys riding on my KLR so I went and bought the 790r without doing the proper research. I've owned it for two weeks and a little voice in my head has been telling me I bought the wrong bike. Well my friend you have made me so much happier on my purchase I know I will never be able to ride like you but have seen the capabilities of this bike. Two thumbs up and mad respect to you please keep us posted on the race at Big Bear. I want to go so I can cheer you on!
It's definitely not the easiest bike to take off road but it is very capable with the right skills. I'm taking my girlfriend out on the back as well and ran some fire roads and cruised around and it is the perfect bike for that stuff. You have an awesome machine, enjoy it
So crazy guys, I loved it! 💪
🐺
Nice riding skills on that big bike and also kudos for taking it where you did on its maiden voyage that's pretty badass👍👍
Amazing rider. Keep the awesome videos coming
Thanks so much. We just posted a new video on the Bike Bandit CZcams page you haven't seen it. more awesome 790 stuff
Really nice riding you are working that bike for sure!
Great track, big hands, huge Bike!
Just put my pre order in. Should be getting it by end of March, early April. Excited!!!
Wow Travis - That is crazy cool! 1st time I've seen someone take that big a bike on Single track!! Very Impressed now!
Thanks Steve. She was great out there
Totally awesome video, won't lie little bit jealous lol.
I have a 701 Husqvarna enduro which I absolutely love for adventure and the 300 xcw for the gnarly stuff but that 790 is sick looking!
Nice job on the single track with that big boy!
Congrats!
Man, you are rallying that thing. You just sold me on this bike. Keep the videos coming.
Do it. It feels so good off-road and super stable on the highways
This is mental, excellent riding!
Thanks mate. So much fun
Even more impressive are your riding skills. Awesome vid!
You are incredible. Many other could not even do that on an EXC 250. LOVE the video
Check out the Big Bear run we just posted on the BikeBandit.com CZcams channel
Makes this look like nothing
Wow, respect! I would be terrified doing this on a 350exc and you're crushing it on the 790. Well done.
That orange skid plate looks great. Really pops!
Thanks. I wanted black but am glad they only had orange available
I really enjoyed watching this video man. You're definitely a cut above 99% of people who are on ADV bikes.
Congrats on the success! 👍keep up the gr8 work! Sharing the hell out of your vids!
Thanks so much and we really appreciate it
Good to see an Adv bike rider proper.....!🤙
Holy crap! You've got some skills man. I just got one of these. Not sure I'll ever have the balls to ride it like that. I look forward to seeing more of these. Maybe you'll inspire me...
Looks really good!
You just gained a subscriber! Excellent work there bud. Just wish we had those sorts of trails here in the UK.
Well done! That was hard-core!
Great video, mad skills. Shout out from Russia!
Wow! I really felt bad for you right there around the 11:50 mark. It was hard enough for those on dirt bikes, and here you come with a monstrous 790!
we make it happen.
Going down the hill with that big KTM just freaked me out...great control man!!!!
Just have to go step by step. Thanks
Damn!! With little modifications that KTM was amazing!!
Great riding too!!
It's only gotten better with more work. Loving what she is capable of
Hey man, great video!! Is the first time I see a real life video of what the 790 is capable of. Also words aside for the rider. I imagine that keeping momentum in such a monster is a challenge. Just great!! Regards from Argentina.
Luciano
Thanks man. It's all about keeping her moving... And that can definitely be scary
fantastic video and skills !
Thanks a lot!
I was on those kind of situations with my 1190 (non R) and my heart rate rose and I got adrenaline just from watching. When you're up the hill finally, you feel like you just finished Dakar or so lol :) Love this Video - best greets from near the KTM factory in Austria.
Oh man, those days are wild. But looking back, it makes the best memories
Oh man, those days are wild. But looking back, it makes the best memories
Awesome man. You got a new fan.
Much appreciated. Thanks
Man, thats some light enduro trail! Speaks a lot of this bike and your skills that you managed that, when I saw those big ruts I was like theres no way, I would turn around on 200kg~ bike! Crazy shit ; good riding ;
Thanks so much, it was definitely a lot of fun. we just posted another video on even better train earlier this week, check it out :-)
Would love to see the other bikes footage of your climbs. Amazing riding, congrats.
Well, we just bought a drone so we'll be doing more of that. I have some footage of the 790 with it on the Bike Bandit CZcams channel already
Huge respect from Turkey. 🇹🇷
thanks
Wicked riding, man!
Great video, really shows what this bike can do in the right hands...
It sure is a beast
Oh hell yeah, you made that almost look easy... I think most mortals would struggle on them hills on the 2T's y'all kicking arse, but ultra awesome you did all that on the 790!
Just gotta twist and go. No thinking about it or you're going down
@@EverySingleSunday haha win or bin! 🤣
Good job! I'm tired of seeing dudes ride the 790R on the street for an hour and talk about what a poor street bike it is. I've taken mine on some decent off road stuff and I am amazed at the suspensions ability to soak up some nasty shit for such a big bike. I love the 790R, it's great off, and on road, truly the unicorn of adventure bikes!
Yep. Can only watch videos of them going to Starbucks so many times
great vids keep it up . this made me go for a 790r thx bro
Awesome, enjoy the bike !
You got some skills, bro. You mastered a single tracker with that beast of a bike impressive subscribed
Check out our newest video... The trails bet even crazier
Much respect bro. I can't believe you took that big bike on those trails. Awesome bike. You can ride bro.
Ya, not my best idea. But it made for some cool content and was kinda fun. Not planning on doing it again anytime soon
Awsome trails and set up! That the first aftermarket bashplate that i like the looks and idea of. Great tips! Ofc this ”workout pass” and your channel deserves a subscribe 😁👍🏻
AXP builds some serious stuff. Thanks
Insane skills bro!
It’s unbelievable! The way you get out of these steep rutted trails is unbelievable. Stopping on such steep ground and paddling your way up without flipping the bike is difficult on regular enduro bike, but the 790 does it effortlessly.
This video shows the essence of dual sport bikes! I’ve been thinking of getting an adventure bike I can ride 200 miles to some trails, you convinced me to get a 790!
You should get a medal from KTM!
The 790 is a beast. I am still shocked I was able to get it going in some of those spots
Amazing skills. Was blown away at what you and the 790 can tackle. Thanks for sharing. love the channel. I am sold and anxious to go check out the 790 at my local dealer.
Thanks for watching. We just uploaded an even better yesterday showing even more hard stuff if you want to check it out
And Don't go look till you're ready. The bikes will pull you in :)
Excelent job on those trails with the 790. You said "embarrassing." There is nothing to be embarrassed about my friend. Well done.
billdragoo.com
Thanks so much. Definitely enjoying the bike so far
Great! Love these videos! Nice to see you didnt use the traction control @ these steep gnarly hills. No need for traction control!
Ive been playing around with it. For slow steep climbs I wanted full drive from her
WOW! Taking a bike that big on those trails! 👍
That's what we do. Push it to the limit
Ktm 790 single track... *Subscribed*
Great ride and skillful rider. Sure do have some fun. Definitely bent on getting that 790 R now.
They’re awesome bikes. I have a full 790 playlist if you want to see more from that bike
Insane! Kudos to the rider on such a challenging terrain. But also if ever you needed a demonstration of KTM's off-road credentials, see how elegantly they expressed with the 790 Adventure R in this video. The after market add-ons also made perfect sense on this ride!
Thanks. Thats what we were going for
Thanks for posting this! I just scored an 890 Rally and was hoping to be able to single track it like my old 990. Looks like I shouldn't have any issues!
Great video and incredible bike , its awesome, ✌✌
I'm impressed! Way beyond my ability! I want one, but I'm thinking the next version will be based on the 890! More power!!!
Turning 70 and picked up a 2021 KTM Adventure R. Crashed it on both sides in the dirt :) Sticking to easy dirt and fire roads. I bought it to replace my BMW GS!
This was brutal man :D 790 did pretty well!
You got skills !!! I woulndt want to take my drz there.. Great job !
Was waiting to find this!!!!!
