KTM South Africa is proud to announce the arrival of the highly anticipated 2026 KTM 890 ADVENTURE R RALLY, a limited-edition Adventure motorcycle engineered for riders seeking the closest possible connection to KTM’s championship-winning rally heritage.
Building upon the exceptional offroad capabilities of the KTM 890 ADVENTURE R, the KTM 890 ADVENTURE R RALLY takes performance to the next level with factory-spec suspension, rally-focused ergonomics, and premium components developed directly from KTM’s global racing programmes. Designed to conquer the most demanding terrain, this exclusive model embodies KTM’s READY TO RACE philosophy and offers South African riders an unrivalled Adventure experience.
At the heart of the KTM 890 ADVENTURE R RALLY lies an 889 cc parallel-twin engine producing 106 PS and 100 Nm of torque, delivering strong, controllable power across a wide range of riding conditions. Combined with advanced rider aids including Rally Mode, Offroad ABS, Traction Control, Motor Slip Regulation, and multiple ride modes, riders can confidently tackle everything from technical mountain trails to vast African landscapes.

Equipped with Cone Valve technology up front and delivering an impressive 270 mm of suspension travel, the system offers exceptional damping performance, superior bottoming resistance, and unmatched confidence in extreme offroad conditions.
Despite its uncompromising offroad capability, the KTM 890 ADVENTURE R RALLY remains comfortable and composed over long distances, whether exploring remote destinations, carrying luggage, or riding two-up.
Visually, the motorcycle makes an unmistakable statement with its new Red Bull KTM Factory Racing-inspired livery, rally seat, carbon tank guards, Factory Racing footpegs, and lightweight Akrapovič Slip-on Line exhaust. Every detail reflects KTM’s Dakar-winning pedigree and reinforces its position as the most offroad-focused Adventure motorcycle in the KTM range.
