Interestingly Modifikasi Motor Cross KTM, the 990 isn’t the actual machine that KTM campaigns in Paris-Dakar, er Argentina-Chile, these days. Most of its recent wins were accomplished with mounts under 700cc, and with the new 450cc engine regulation in place, word has it the Austrian bike manufacturer is set to pull the sheets off a brand new 450 Rally. Both that bike and the Adventure 990 Dakar are slated for an unveil at EICMA next week. Keep your eyes peeled for more information.
KTM has decided to commemorate the company’s outright domination of the infamous Paris-Dakar race with a brand new special edition bike. Called the Adventure 990 Dakar, the moto looks to be small over a paint and graphics package. Along with the love-it-or-leave-it blue-and-orange livery, the KTM will also wear engine protection bars should you select to put the 990 through its paces in your own cross-desert bash. Otherwise, the engine, suspension and the like all look to be much the same as the standard iteration of the bike (not necessarily a bad thing, for what it’s worth…), though we’re promised more specifics soon.
