THANK YOU FOR ALL THIS INFO, VERY HELPFUL AND GOOD TO SEE THE SEAT FOR MAKE A CHOICE. I RUN R1200GS BMW SINCE 4 YEARS , BUT NEXT YEARS 2023 I M GONNA CHANGE FOR KTM 890 ENDURO R. AND I KNOW I M GONNA CHANGE THE SEAT FOR LOWERING THE BIKE , SO I NEED TO MAKE A CHOICE BETWEEN TOURATECH AND THIS ONE.. SO YOU RE VIDEO ARE HELPFUL. FROM CANADA..G' DAY MATE. I LOVE YOU RE BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY.
@fabienpics I'm from Calgary and have been living in Australia since 1998. I've recently sold my 2020 1250GSA and am looking to buy a 890R as well and get the lowered seat. How did you enjoy the transition from GS to 890R?
Seeing your height and inseam really surprised me, I thought the R model would be more challenging for us shorter blokes but you've coloured me impressed. I'm barely taller than you and I've been thinking about this bike, it's reassuring to know that should I decide to get one I'll actually be able to ride it without having to hang off the bike at a stop.
I have fairly long legs which helps a bit. Once the bike is loaded up I found it ok even with the high seat. I struggle a bit with the weight in the tough stuff but really happy with bike over all. Great for those long trips.
This is helpful, got one for me waiting for the loooooooooooong 10 weeks lead time. I like your tires also, are they tkc80? How do they behave on the road?
The tires are Motoz Rallz. Seem to be good in the dirt but haven't really pushed them on the road yet. Not enough time on them yet to give them a review.
How reliable has the KTM been , I am looking at the 890r but people keep telling they are not very reliable, I test rode one 3 weeks ago and I am still smiling
Hi Jack. So far I have done over 15,000km on mine and it has not missed a beat. So I'm very happy with it. There was a lot of BS flying around about the 790 as well. I don't know anyone that has had trouble with it.
Does this seat lower the seat height by 1” or 2”? I know the seat itself is 1” shorter, but does adding this seat make it an adjustable seat to where it can be put in an appx 1” lower position like the Adventure S? Thank you!
I just tcheck again your review. I m on my way to buy my ktm 890 adv R the 2023 model, and I m gonna order the Seat Concep Low model. I m 1. 78 meters. I m pretty sure with this seat, I m gonna feel good. Can you ask how tall you are. Thas give me some idea about how my feet go on the ground.
I think the biggest difference is in the width of the seat for comfort. A 9 mm difference in height is the difference between a tight pair of jeans and a loose-fitting pair of jeans. in my opinion it's not worth it
@@touringwithtuneee4510 I'm struggling to decide between the 790 adv S and R model just because of the height (and i'm 180cm), do you have any more tricks to lower the R model more?
@@sp1tfire If you're planning to do a lot of off road then the R model would be the best choice. Spring lowering kit are also available and if you are going to travel with the bike loaded with bags then that will drop the bike even more. I'm only 164cm tall but I do have long legs. I found the R model fine when loaded until I rode on sand or mud. So I think the low seat will make a difference. Here is a link to explain lowering kits. You should do your own research to find a kit that will suit your needs. I hope this helps. vimeo.com/362442771
Looks Great, thanks for letting us see!
Thanks for watching :)

nice video, and thank you. I can only barely reach with one tippy toe when I sit in the middle, I been thinking of getting the low seat. LOL
Thank you. It has given me more confidence when stopping LOL
Just got the 890 R and ordered the low sit, I hope I can feel better when I have to stop lol.
I just rode to Alice Springs & back on mine and found it to be realy good. I think you'll be happy with it.
@@touringwithtuneee4510 That's great, delivery is set for Sunday. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks.

It lowers it by about 1" and no it's not adjustable.

@@touringwithtuneee4510 thank you for answering. So with my 1.78 i m gonna be ok to have my feet flat with the ground. Or close to be
@@fabienpics Enjoy your new bike. I'm sure that you will :)
@@fabienpicsWere you flat footing with the low seat?
Hola desde México. Puedes mandar ese asiento a México? Ajusta en la ktm 890 adventure S ?
Sorry I don't speak Spanish. But here is the site where you could get one.

Hi from where did you get the protection cover that’s on the akrapovic?
It came with the Reckless 80 bags from Mosko Moto.
Thank you
Hi
How much tall are you
I am about 168cm tall
link for this seat? Thanks
Search Concept Seats... you should find a local supplier
With nice heel boots it will be more comfortable
Not sure Heals are very practical 🤣
Now you’ve had it a while do you find it comfy??
Yes. I rode to Alice Springs and back. (about 4000km) and found it to be really good.
Where can we order this seat? Can you give me a link of the store?
This is where I got mine. It's a little cheaper buying it direct but not much. www.adventuremoto.com.au/brand/seat-concepts

Thanks!
how tall are you?
All the information is in the comments 👍
is your KTM lowered?
No. Standard hight.
I think the biggest difference is in the width of the seat for comfort. A 9 mm difference in height is the difference between a tight pair of jeans and a loose-fitting pair of jeans. in my opinion it's not worth it
For me it's made a big difference for comfort and height. For me it was money well spent.
@@touringwithtuneee4510 if it works for you, all that counts 👍
@@RayzGarage hahaha true 👍

164cm or 5' 5"
