The motor has also changed, but so far it is impossible to say exactly what exactly it is. The exhaust system is likely to meet Euro 5 standards, as it has acquired elongated pipes and an increased silencer.
The rear suspension is also reworked, otherwise located monoamortizator noticeable. Calipers on the front wheel resemble Brembo Stylema, in general, similar to the previous version. Five-beam rims with hollow spokes, obviously, also to reduce the weight of the bike.
The KTM Adventure LCD dashboard is installed and the controls are revised, thus replacing the inconvenient systems of the previous naked. Judging by the fact that the model was tested on public roads, it is likely that it will be presented to the public soon.
