Overview - KTM 1050 Adventure 2016 vs KTM 790 Adventure 2020
The KTM 1050 Adventure model year 2016 and the KTM 790 Adventure model year 2020 are both enduro motorcycles with similar engine power and transmission systems. However, there are several notable differences between the two models.
In terms of engine specifications, the KTM 1050 Adventure has a larger bore and stroke compared to the KTM 790 Adventure. This results in a higher displacement for the 1050 Adventure, which may contribute to its slightly higher torque output. Both models have the same engine power of 95 HP.
The suspension systems on both motorcycles are provided by WP, with upside-down telescopic forks at the front and WP suspension at the rear. This ensures good handling and stability for both models. However, the KTM 790 Adventure has a load-bearing engine frame, which may provide additional chassis stability compared to the tubular frame of the KTM 1050 Adventure.

In terms of dimensions and weights, the KTM 790 Adventure has a slightly shorter wheelbase and a lower seat height compared to the KTM 1050 Adventure. This may make the 790 Adventure more maneuverable and accessible for riders of different heights. Additionally, the 790 Adventure has a lower dry weight, which may contribute to its better off-road capabilities.
Both motorcycles have different front and rear tire sizes, with the KTM 790 Adventure having larger diameter tires compared to the KTM 1050 Adventure. This may provide better off-road performance and stability for the 790 Adventure.
In terms of fuel capacity, the KTM 1050 Adventure has a larger fuel tank capacity of 23 liters compared to the 20 liters of the KTM 790 Adventure. This may result in a longer range for the 1050 Adventure.

When it comes to strengths, the KTM 1050 Adventure has a powerful and refined engine, disengageable ABS, adjustable traction control, and agile handling. It also has adjustable ergonomics, a height-adjustable windshield, and a comparatively affordable price. The KTM 790 Adventure, on the other hand, has an engine with manners and character, tremendously high chassis stability, and brakes without reproach. It also offers tremendous off-road capabilities and low average consumption.
In terms of weaknesses, the KTM 1050 Adventure has a rev limiter that kicks in at 8500 revs and a chassis that may be a little too soft for off-road use. The KTM 790 Adventure has an unattractive surcharge policy and an original seat that may not be optimally shaped.
Overall, both the KTM 1050 Adventure 2016 and the KTM 790 Adventure 2020 have their own strengths and weaknesses. The choice between the two models will depend on the rider's preferences and specific needs, such as off-road capabilities, price, and ergonomics.

Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
KTM 1050 Adventure 2016
In my opinion, the KTM 1050 Adventure picks up where the 990 Adventure left off a few years ago: Around 100 hp of power, playful handling and as much or as little electronics as is currently state-of-the-art. The engine is anything but weak, ABS and traction control regulate safely and inconspicuously and the handling is extremely fun-oriented, partly because of the relatively narrow tyres. And all this at a price that is only undercut by a few competitors in the league of big touring enduros. Sad as it may be, the two 1190 Adventures and, above all, the flagship 1290 Super Adventure, have soared in price to very high levels. And that is precisely why the KTM 1050 Adventure is perhaps the most coherent of the four Adventure models.
KTM 790 Adventure 2020
In my eyes, the KTM is the sportiest of all mid-range touring enduros. If you are looking for a touring machine that is brutally nippy on road and off-road, you will find it here. At the same time, however, the chassis and engine offer sufficient comfort and good manners to keep the rider from going mad even on longer liaison stages.
