KTM North America and US-based non profit, Backcountry Discovery Routes, have partnered up again this year to give away a ‘special edition’ KTM 790 Adventure R. This is a unique opportunity to take home KTM’s latest performance-focused adventure machine. Developed from KTM’s off-road race DNA, the 790 R features a liquid-cooled parallel-twin powerplant generating 95 horsepower paired with race-level componentry, a nimble chassis and an array of sophisticated technology.

The team at RideBDR have taken this great ADV machine and made it even better with $9,000 worth of upgrades. This 2020 KTM 790 Adventure R features custom ‘BDR Special Edition’ graphics, WP XPLOR PRO Suspension with cone-valve forks, protection and luggage systems from Touratech, and LED lights by Cyclops. The accessory list includes: an upgraded suspension, hand guards, upper and lower crash bars, pannier system, dry bag, auxiliary light kit and headlight guard. The prize package also includes Butler Motorcycle Maps for all 10 Backcountry Discovery Routes.
