KTM 390 Adventure

KTM 390 Adventure Highlights

KTM was yet again spotted testing the 390 Adventure, this time around in Europe. The spied bike appears to host minor changes compared to the test mule that we saw on our shores. KTM is likely to debut the 390 Adventure at this year’s EICMA motor show. India launch will be followed by early next year.

The 390 Adventure will be based off the 390 Duke but might feature substantial changes to the frame and suspension for its intended off-road usage. It will get longer travel suspension and larger spoked wheels. Going by the recent sightings of test mules, overall design is expected to be based on KTM’s flagship adventure tourer, the 1290 Super Adventure. 

It is expected to carry the 390 Duke’s 375cc liquid cooled single cylinder motor but might feature a different state of tune or altered gearing/different sprockets for better low-end grunt. 

A global debut of the 390 Adventure is expected at this year's upcoming EICMA, which is the world's largest two-wheeler expo held in Milan, Italy, around November. Following the global unveiling, the bike is expected to launch in India, in the first quarter of 2020. We can expect the KTM 390 Adventure to be priced at around Rs 3.5 lakh on-road. 

Once launched, the KTM 390 Adventure will compete against the BMW G 310 GS, the Kawasaki Versys-X 300 and the Royal Enfield Himalayan
