Austrian bikemaker KTM is working on the next-generation 390 Adventure bike, which has been spotted on multiple occasions. However, for the first time, the Enduro version has been spied on in India, revealing a few key details. Likely to be called the 390 Adventure R, the Enduro will be the more affordable and off-road-focused variant of the standard ADV. Going by the spy shots, the KTM 390 Enduro will feature a single-piece LED headlamp setup with no windscreen, whereas the standard variant of the ADV spotted alongside the Enduro version will get vertically stacked projector dual projectors with signature LED daytime running lights, sleek LED turn indicators, and sharp tank extensions. The regular version will additionally have a transparent windscreen, likely to be taller than that of the outgoing model.
While the standard ADV will get a wider, single-piece contoured unit, the Enduro model will come with a flat seat. The former will also get half-fairing and split grab-rails. But, the commonalities between the two variants will likely include a tall beak, an engine crash guard, a bash plate, and a side fender design similar to the bigger ADVs.
