QUICK TEST: WP XPLOR PRO SUSPENSION

KTM’s 790 Adventure R is a beast. It’s arguably the most exciting, all-round-capable adventure bike in this galaxy. Its low weight, cleverly balanced by the unusual Dakar-inspired tank design, coupled with a firecracker of an engine and a suite of electronics, all help to put it somewhere no other manufacturer competes. On top of all that there’s the handling, which is so very dirtbike-like and one of the outstanding features of an already impressive bike.

But what if I told you it could get even better? And I mean so, so much better. The standard package has very few shortcomings for most riders and I’ve seen Adam Riemann and Chris Birch do crazy shit on stock bikes
