KTM Unleashes New 390 Adventure Duo: One for the Road, One for the Wild

KTM India has launched two exciting new versions of its popular 390 Adventure motorcycle, catering to different types of riders — one focused on long-distance touring and the other built for serious off-road action.

The two new variants are:

Updated 390 Adventure X – Priced at ₹3,03,125 (ex-showroom)

New 390 Adventure Enduro R (Global-spec) – Priced at ₹3,53,825 (ex-showroom)

What’s New in the 390 Adventure X?

The revised Adventure X now comes packed with rider-focused technology that was previously only available on KTM’s premium models.

New features include:

  • Cruise control with both speed limiter and set-speed functions
  • Three riding modes – Street, Rain, and Off-road – to adapt easily to different surfaces
  • Cornering ABS for safer braking through lean angles
  • Motorcycle Traction Control (MTC) for improved grip on loose terrain

This updated Adventure X is now a much more versatile option for riders who love long highway stretches as much as the occasional dirt road.

Enter the Adventure Enduro R – Built for the Wild

The new 390 Adventure Enduro R is KTM’s global-spec, hardcore off-road machine. It brings ruggedness and capability straight from KTM’s rally and Dakar racing DNA. Key highlights include:

  • 230 mm suspension travel at both front and rear
  • 273 mm ground clearance, giving it excellent terrain-crushing ability
  • Tuned suspension setup ideal for trails and tough conditions

This version stands apart from the India-specific Enduro R, which has been on sale for a while but with scaled-down suspension and lower clearance. The global-spec Enduro R is ₹17,000 more expensive but offers significantly better off-road hardware.

Shared Engine, Different Focus

Both variants use KTM’s proven 373cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder DOHC engine, producing:

  • 45.3 bhp
  • 39 Nm torque
  • 6-speed gearbox

The bikes are built on a lightweight steel trellis frame and feature a 4.1-inch colour TFT screen with Bluetooth for music, navigation, and app integration.

KTM’s decision to introduce the full-spec Enduro R in India shows a strong commitment to meeting the demands of adventure enthusiasts. While the Adventure X appeals to everyday riders looking for comfort and tech on their travels, the Enduro R is made for those who want a raw, rally-style riding experience.
