Ktm 390 Adventure :Everything you want to know about ADV News, Photos & Exclusive stories.

<p>KTM's 390 range has expanded in India with the more off-road focused Enduro R. While the bike shares many similarities with its more balanced off-road counterpart, the 390 Adventure, there are notable differences in design and capabilities. The Enduro R is suitable for hardcore offroaders, while the Adventure caters to riders seeking a balance between comfort and versatile touring.&nbsp;</p><p>Notably, the India-spec version features some distinct changes compared to the international model. Let’s take a look at the key differences between the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/ktm/390-enduro-r/">Enduro R</a> and the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/ktm/390-adventure/">390 Adventure</a>.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">

  <h2>KTM 390 Enduro R vs 390 Adventure: Looks</h2><p>The Enduro R sports a dirt bike-inspired look, featuring a high fender, minimalist headlight, and sleek bodywork.

    </div>
  <p>The KTM 390 Enduro R and the 390 Adventure differ significantly in terms of ergonomics and hardware. The Enduro R features an 18-inch rear wheel, larger than the 17-inch wheel found on the 390 Adventure. It is fitted with Mitas E07+ Enduro Trail tyres, designed to provide enhanced grip on rugged terrains, though unlike the 390 Adventure, they are not tubeless.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">

    </div>
  <p>Additionally, the Enduro R also sits higher, with an 860mm seat height, compared to the 390 Adventure’s 830mm (or 825mm on the Adventure X). In terms of ground clearance, the Enduro R stands at 253mm, offering 16mm more than the 390 Adventure's 237mm (228mm on the Adventure X).</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/2025-ktm-390-adventure-x-vs-royal-enfield-himalayan-450-spec-comparison-whats-different-119951/">2025 KTM 390 Adventure X vs Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Spec Comparison: What's Different?</a></p><p>The 390 Adventure features a 320mm front brake disc, larger than the Enduro R's 285mm unit, though their rear discs are the same size. However, the Indian Enduro R's suspension travel (200mm front, 205mm rear) matches the Adventure, unlike the global Enduro R's longer 230mm travel at both ends.</p><h2>KTM 390 Enduro R vs 390 Adventure: Features</h2><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">

    </div>
  <p>The Adventure's electronics include cruise control and cornering ABS, geared toward touring. The Enduro R, though missing these, gets off-road advantages with two ride modes,&nbsp;a quickshifter, off-road ABS, and switchable traction control, which makes it a more specialised&nbsp;off-road machine than the base Adventure X.&nbsp;</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">

KTM 390 Enduro R vs 390 Adventure: Key Differences Explained

The KTM 390 Enduro R is priced at Rs 3.36 lakh. The 390 Adventure, on the other hand, starts at Rs 3.68 lakh (both, ex-showroom). 

<p>
We were quite eager to get our hands on this bike since it was first teased at EICMA. The old 390 Adventure was a blast, don’t get me wrong, but it had its quirks, especially when pushed off-road. After spending six months commuting on the Royal Enfield Himalayan, I was curious to see how this new KTM stacked up. Well, we recently had the opportunity to thoroughly ride and test it, and let me tell you that it’s a significant leap forward. This isn’t just a refresh; it’s a full-fledged evolution.</p>

<h2>Design and Quality</h2>

<p>Let’s talk about the design first. It’s definitely going to spark debate, but personally, I like it. That rugged rally-inspired Dakar vibe works in its favour. The tall windscreen and short front fender look the part, though I did notice a bit of wind noise from the Indian-spec number plate mount while riding, but it’s a minor niggle.</p>

    <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
      <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/03/1741846916196-g2go-KTM-390-Adventure-3.webp" alt="KTM 390 Adventure-3.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">

    </div>
  
<p>KTM has tackled some key issues. The 21-inch front and 17-inch rear spoke wheels with tubeless Apollo Tramplr tyres are a huge plus. The WP Apex suspension is another standout upgrade, offering a noticeably more compliant and capable ride. An India-specific tweak – the offset rear monoshock – lowers the seat height to 830mm in the Adventure variant and 825mm in the Adventure X. On top of that, ground clearance has been increased to a solid 237mm, addressing a major concern from the previous model.</p>

<p>The pigmented body panels are a nice touch, promising better scratch resistance since they’re painted during the moulding process itself. And the standard kit – knuckle guards, engine guard, and bash plate – is quite useful for off-road scrapes. The forged foot levers feel solid, and you can remove the rubber inserts for better grip while riding in the dirt. My only gripe? The flimsy all-plastic knuckle guards – they would have been much better with metal reinforcements.</p>

    </div>
  
<p>The new bespoke ADV tubular trellis subframe – KTM claims that it’s 10% more rigid – feels solid and enhances the bike’s overall stability. Despite the weight dropping to 183kg, the 14.5-litre fuel tank remains unchanged. The overall fit and finish are excellent, offering a premium feel throughout. The 5-inch bonded TFT screen, borrowed from the new 390 Duke, is crisp, clear, and easily readable even in bright sunlight.</p>

<h2>Ergonomics and Features</h2>

<p>The riding position is comfortable and upright – perfect for long days on the saddle. The new 390 Adventure feels large when you’re off it but seems to shrink around you once you get on and start moving. The controls are intuitive, and the switchgear is easy to reach. Cruise control is a welcome addition for highway stints, and the ride modes – Rain, Street, and Off-Road – are simple to toggle through. A big plus is that ride mode settings remain unchanged even after switching off the ignition – a thoughtful touch indeed!</p>

    </div>
  
<p>Phone connectivity and navigation feel slick, and the voice-activated calling is a nice convenience. Unlike the 390 Duke, which can only receive calls, the 390 Adventure allows you to make calls directly from the bike. Finally, the electronics suite – which includes cornering ABS, switchable cornering traction control, Quickshifter+, and customizable ride modes – work to enhance both safety and performance.</p>

<h2>Performance and Handling</h2>

<p>Now, let’s get to the good stuff – how it rides. The LC4c 399cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine is noticeably smoother, thanks to the 5mm offset crank. It delivers better low-end grunt than the previous model but still loves to be revved. Peak power kicks in 1,000rpm sooner, making it more accessible.</p>

<p>That said, there’s still a noticeable lag before the bike starts moving. I noticed that it stalled a couple of times when setting off from a standstill, especially in off-road situations which demanded more grunt.</p>

    <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
      <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/03/1741847071591-lm3q-KTM-390-Adventure-2.webp" alt="KTM 390 Adventure-2.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">

    </div>
  
<p>Acceleration is brisk, with 0 – 60km/h achieved in 2.6 seconds and 0 – 100km/h in 6.2 seconds – both quicker than the previous generation model. The improved mid-range power is quite evident, delivering faster 30 – 70km/h roll-on acceleration (claimed). Cruise control, which activates above 20km/h, performs well on the highway, especially when paired with Quickshifter+, making for a smooth and hassle-free touring experience.</p>

<p>The bike’s heat management has improved, thanks to the curved radiator and reprofiled shrouds that divert hot air away from the rider – a definite and noticeable upgrade. The underbelly exhaust, with its claimed 400mm water-wading capacity, will be able handle water crossings without stress, even when the water level reaches the engine guards.</p>

<p>The WP Apex suspension has received a significant upgrade, offering a much more compliant ride, as it effortlessly absorbs bumps and rough terrain. The adjustable open-cartridge system provides 30 steps of compression and rebound adjustment at the front, 20 steps at the rear, and 10 steps of preload adjustment at the rear, allowing for fine-tuning across various riding conditions. While the increased suspension travel is a welcome improvement, I did notice the front forks bottoming out a couple of times during intense off-road testing – enough to throw me off the line slightly. That said, it’s a fair trade-off for the bike’s sharp on-road dynamics and a huge improvement over the previous model’s overly stiff setup, which was a common complaint.</p>

<p>Off-road, the bike feels light, balanced, and predictable in technical sections. Compared to the Himalayan, it’s noticeably sharper and more responsive. The Apollo Tramplr tyres performed decently across varied on- and off-road conditions. However, since we didn’t lower the tyre pressure when going off-road, the front end lacked a bit of bite. The brakes – a 320mm floating disc with a twin-piston calliper up front and a 240mm rear disc with a single-piston calliper – are strong and provide good feedback.</p>

<h2>Verdict</h2>

<p>So, is the new KTM 390 Adventure worth the hype? Absolutely. It’s a complete and far more refined package. The improvements in engine smoothness, suspension compliance, and overall capability are substantial. It still retains the fun, hooligan character we love, but now it’s more versatile and capable than ever.</p>

<p>For someone like me, who loves venturing off the beaten path, this bike is a serious contender. It’s fun, capable, and feels right. While I’m still eager to do a proper back-to-back comparison with its rivals, my initial impressions are overwhelmingly positive. This is a true adventure bike that delivers on its promises.</p>

KTM 390 Adventure First Ride Review: It's Everything You Wanted, And More!

The wait is over. The 2025 KTM 390 Adventure is here, and it's a game-changer. We rode it, pushing it to its limits, and here's our honest take.

KTM 390 Adventure S India Launch Tomorrow; Here's All You Need to Know

The 2025 KTM 390 Adventure S is based on a steel trellis frame and is powered by the familiar 399cc single-cylinder engine that produces 45bhp and 39Nm of torque. 

<p>KTM's two models, the 390 Adventure and the 390 Enduro R, are scheduled to launch&nbsp;in January 2025 in India. The former will be a generational update over the existing ADV-styled bike, while the latter will be&nbsp;a focused off-roader&nbsp;with styling similar to KTM motocross bikes.&nbsp;Showcased at&nbsp;the 11th edition of the India Bike Week (IBW) held last week, the KTM 390 Adventure and the 390 Enduro R can now booked&nbsp;through the company's official website or authorised dealerships across the country. The&nbsp;2025 version of the 390 Adventure is a go-to option for those&nbsp;seeking a touring bike with potent off-road capabilities, while the&nbsp;Enduro R is meant for hardcore off-roaders who want more performance.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>KTM 390 Adventure: Specifications</h2>

<p>KTM showcased the S variant of the&nbsp;390 Adventure bike at IBW. Sitting below the base X, the&nbsp;390 Adventure S is a proper ADV with a rally-inspired design. Highlights include a TFT display (with Bluetooth), a vertically stacked dual-projector LED headlamp cluster, Dakar-style bodywork, tubeless wire-spoked wheels, cruise control, and adjustable WP Apex suspension. The bike also has an improved riding posture over the existing one and rolls on a 21/17-inch wheel&nbsp;combination with Apollo Tramplr dual-purpose tyres.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<h2>KTM 390 Enduro R: Specifications</h2>

<p>The more off-road-focused Enduro R is lighter than the 390 Adventure S and takes inspiration from dirt bikes when it comes to design. Notable bits include a beak-like fender, sleek profile, and off-road-type block-pattern tyres. It also has adjustable suspension units but features&nbsp;a slimmer LCD instrument console with a joystick. Unlike the ADV, the enduro-style&nbsp;motorcycle gets a 21 front and 18-inch rear wheel.&nbsp;</p>

The engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox. Expect the ADV to get a larger rear sprocket upon arrival.&nbsp;</p>


KTM 390 Adventure, 390 Enduro R Bookings Open Ahead of India Launch

The KTM 390 Adventure will be a generational update over the existing ADV-styled bike, while the 390 Enduro R will be a focused off-roader with styling similar to KTM motocross bikes.

<p>KTM unveiled one of the variants of the&nbsp;new-generation Adventure at the recently held EICMA trade show in Milan. The variant in question&nbsp;is called the R, an&nbsp;off-road-focused version&nbsp;with a tall stance and an upright front fairing. The new 390 Adventure R&nbsp;has a towering 885mm seat height&nbsp;– a touch high for some riders in India. As a solution to that, KTM has a variant in the form of the road-oriented X, which gets a lower 825mm seat height, courtesy of lower suspension. Since the eleventh edition of India Bike Week (IBW)&nbsp;– one of India's largest motorcycling events – is set to kick off on December 6 in Goa, we expect&nbsp;KTM to unveil the X along with&nbsp;the R variant at the event. The global-spec KTM 390 Adventure comes in&nbsp;R, X, Enduro R and Supermoto variants&nbsp;– the third being showcased alongside the Adventure R at EICMA 2024. While there are still two weeks to go&nbsp;for the IBW debut, let's take a look at what to expect from the&nbsp;390 Adventure R and 390 Adventure X:</p>

<h2>New KTM 390 Adventure X: What to Expect?</h2>

<p>The road-oriented X will be the entry point to the lineup. We expect a steel trellis frame,&nbsp;non-adjustable suspension with 200mm of travel, an LCD console, non-cornering ABS,&nbsp;and an 825mm seat height,&nbsp;the same as the Himalayan 450. The X&nbsp;will most likely&nbsp;run on 19/17-inch alloy wheels with road-biased tyres. Two colours are expected to be available upon launch here: black/orange and white/orange.</p>

<h2>New KTM 390 Adventure R: What to Expect?</h2>

<p>As for the R variant, expect&nbsp;an H50 TFT console with Bluetooth connectivity and navigation. The model&nbsp;will likely bring the same chassis as the X, albeit with adjustable suspension (with 230mm of wheel travel). Typical for an&nbsp;off-roader, the bike is anticipated to sit&nbsp;on&nbsp;a 21-inch front and an 18-inch rear wire-spoked wheel wrapped in dual-purpose tyres.&nbsp;The seat height will be higher than the X, but manageable for riders here.&nbsp;Other expected bits include&nbsp;cornering ABS, cruise control,&nbsp;and switchable traction control. The R will likely be offered in a single colour scheme: white/orange.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>New KTM 390 Adventure: Engine</h2>

<p>Both variants will&nbsp;likely get the same&nbsp;399cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that does&nbsp;duty in the 2024 KTM 390 Duke. Mated to a six-speed gearbox, this&nbsp;engine in the 390 Duke&nbsp;makes 45bhp at 8,500rpm and 39Nm&nbsp;of peak torque at 6,500rpm. Expect the new KTM 390 Adventure to use the engine with a slightly different state of tune.&nbsp;</p>

While yet to be confirmed, KTM could launch the new 390 Adventure lineup sometime in 2025. The bikes could be priced from Rs 3.50 lakh to Rs 3.70 lakh&nbsp;(ex-showroom) in India.</p>


New KTM 390 Adventure X, 390 Adventure R Likely to be Unveiled at India Bike Week 2024

The new KTM 390 Adventure is expected to get the same 399cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that does duty in the 2024 KTM 390 Duke.

<p>A new version of the KTM 390 Adventure is all set to arrive in India tomorrow, November 14, with an expected price of 3.50 lakh (ex-showroom).&nbsp;The ADV has two variants: X (road-biased) and R (offroad-focused). The latter was shown at the recently concluded EICMA with an upright front fairing and a towering stance, inspired by Dakar bikes.&nbsp;It has adjustable upside-down forks, a horseshoe-shaped LED daytime running lamp, and vertically stacked LED projector headlamps.&nbsp;The headlight cluster is positioned beneath two auxiliary lights, a metal sump guard, a single-piece seat, a high-mounted beak-like fender, and a muscular-looking fuel tank with sharp extensions. The New 390 Adventure R has a paint scheme of orange, white, and black.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Hardware-wise, the 390 Adventure R includes 21-inch (front) and 18-inch (rear) wire-spoked wheels, an 885mm seat height, a steel trellis frame, an offset monoshock, and disc brakes on both ends. It also sports cornering ABS, a digital instrument console, traction control, and cruise control.</p>

<p>In contrast, the road-oriented 390 Adventure X will sport a lower seat height of 825mm, similar to the Himalayan 450.&nbsp;It will use the same chassis and body panels as the 390 Adventure R but with non-adjustable suspension and 200mm of wheel travel.&nbsp;Other features include standard ABS, alloy wheels (19-inch front and 17-inch rear), and an LCD display. The X model will have two colour options (white/orange and black/orange).</p>

<h2>2025 KTM 390 Adventure: Engine</h2>

<p>The upcoming KTM 390 Adventure is expected to be powered by the same 399cc single-cylinder engine as the 390 Duke.&nbsp;This powerplant produces a maximum output of 45bhp at 8,500rpm and a peak torque of 39Nm at 6,500rpm using a six-speed gearbox.</p>
