KTM. The new KTM 790 Duke has a seat height of 825mm (32.48 inches), which feels equally decent for shorter and taller riders. However, for the added convenience of short-heighted riders, KTM is offering a lower seat height of 805mm (31.69 inches) with the help of a KTM PowerPart seat.
We look at the difference between the KTM 790R standard seat compared to the low seat from Concept Seats. I did a 4000km trip since the video was made, and f
Lower seat height than my VSTrom too. The non adjustable suspension is VASTLY under sprung and under damped for my "sturdy" frame, especially the forks. Felt like the additional seat height of the R won't be a problem, especially if I swap on the S model 2 piece seat (or one of the Ergo versions).
But the 2021 1290 has lower seat and fuel slung low so should feel even easier to manage. The 790 is very compact, so much so both me and mrs found it cramped for leg room, but we are both 6ft plus.

The high, race-specific straight seat clearly states the bike’s rally ambitions. Offroad riding ergonomics are improved by the single-piece seat, making the transition from sitting to standing easier.

I've considered the larger bikes but the lower seat height, lower wet weight, and longer range of the 790 are my top three criteria for choosing it. At 63 years old, weight lifting the bike off the ground and getting good footing on maginal surfaces are important. Light weight is #1 for me.

Boomerius Discussion starter · Mar 5, 2020. I'd love to address all the current 790R owners. I'm seriously thinking about which 790 to choose. Briefing: I am 178cm (5′ 10) I can pretty comfortably flat-foot 790S. I can't flat-foot 790R - but I can reach the ground with my both toes. My 2 humble questions for you:
