The improved ABS system on the 2023 KTM 890 Adventure can better match the selected riding mode. When the user chooses an off-road or rally riding mode, for instance, off-road ABS is immediately triggered which fully disables the rear wheel ABS function while reducing it for the front wheel. 

The 2023 KTM 890 Adventure is powered by the same 889cc motor that generates a power output of 103hp in the previous version. However, the manufacturer has fitted the sports bike with new Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tyres that are designed for off-road use, and have increased handling and durability on all types of roads.

The company has only introduced the new KTM 890 Adventure 2023, it is still unclear when the bike will hit the road.
