2008 KTM 990 Adventure
The 2008 KTM 990 Adventure is a purpose-built dual-sport motorcycle that redefined the adventure category with its rally-inspired engineering and race-proven reliability. Designed for riders who demand versatility, the 990 Adventure is equally at home carving through twisty backroads, cruising highways, or tackling rugged off-road terrain.
At its heart is a 999cc liquid-cooled, 75° V-twin engine, developed in KTM’s racing program and tuned to deliver impressive power across the rev range. With fuel injection replacing the older carbureted design, the 990 offers smoother throttle response, improved efficiency, and strong performance at altitude or in changing weather conditions. The 6-speed transmission is geared for versatility, making it equally adept at highway speeds or technical off-road riding.
The lightweight chromoly trellis frame provides excellent rigidity without sacrificing agility, a hallmark of KTM design. The suspension package comes straight from KTM’s off-road heritage: a fully adjustable 48mm WP inverted fork up front and a Pro-Lever WP rear shock, offering long travel (8.25 inches front / 8.25 inches rear) to handle everything from gravel tracks to desert trails. Spoked wheels with a 21-inch front and 18-inch rear ensure off-road durability while maintaining stability on pavement.
Stopping power comes from dual front disc brakes with Brembo calipers and a single rear disc, offering excellent control whether loaded for touring or navigating technical terrain. The ergonomics are adventure-focused, with a tall stance, upright riding position, and generous ground clearance. A large fuel tank (5.3 gallons) gives the range needed for long-distance travel.
The 2008 model carries KTM’s distinctive rally styling—angular bodywork, slim profile, and functional fairing designed for wind protection without bulk. A comfortable two-piece seat, luggage rack, and available hard pannier options make it tour-ready, while its relatively light weight (around 460 lbs dry) ensures it stays true to KTM’s off-road roots.
Key Features:
999cc Fuel-Injected V-Twin Engine – Smooth, powerful, and responsive
6-Speed Transmission – Versatile gearing for on- and off-road use
Chromoly Trellis Frame – Lightweight and rigid for precise handling
WP Long-Travel Suspension – Fully adjustable for serious off-road ability
Spoked Wheels (21” Front / 18” Rear) – Adventure-ready design
Dual Brembo Disc Brakes – Strong, controlled stopping power
5.3-Gallon Fuel Tank – Excellent touring range
Adventure Ergonomics – Upright position, tall clearance, comfortable seat
The 2008 KTM 990 Adventure is built for riders who refuse to be limited by pavement. With rally-proven technology, rugged durability, and the heart of a performance machine, it remains one of the most respected adventure bikes of its era.
