KTM 390 Adventure

The KTM 390 Adventure finally gets a spoke-wheeled variant! But will this bike be coming to India? Find that out here. A more hardcore & off-road-focused variant of the KTM 390 Adventure was earlier spied on abroad. Here’s your first look at it. 

KTM 390 Adventure Price: 

The 390 Adventure is priced at Rs 3,37,043 (ex-showroom Delhi). It’s available in two colours- Dark Galvano Black and Racing Blue. 

KTM 390 Adventure Features:

The icing on the cake is that the motorcycle features lean-angle sensitive traction control, which should help pro riders have fun off the road. The traction control system also gets two modes: Street and Offroad. KTM claims the Off-road mode will allow you to slide the rear wheel, making things easier when going past wet or loose terrain. 

That said, the Off-road mode will not turn off the traction control, just limit its intervention. Other notable features include an all-LED lighting system, upright ergonomics with an adjustable windshield, full-colour TFT screen with smartphone pairing capability, with optional turn-by-turn navigation and a standard 12-volt charging port.

KTM 390 Adventure Engine: 

The KTM 390 Adventure is powered by the same engine found in the KTM 390 Duke. This 373cc liquid-cooled engine churns out 43.5PS at 9000rpm and 37Nm at 7000rpm. The engine works alongside a six-speed transmission which comes with a standard bi-directional quickshifter. Interestingly, this feature is offered as a KTM PowerParts accessory in markets abroad.

KTM 390 Adventure Suspension & Brakes: 

The India-spec motorcycle features a non-adjustable inverted front fork and alloy wheels wrapped with Metzeler Tourance rubber instead of the Continental TKC 70 units. The rear retains the same WP Apex monoshock as the motorcycle sold abroad. Brakes include a 320mm disc up front and a 230mm disc at the rear with a dual-channel ABS with off-road mode. The KTM 390 Adventure comes with a 19-inch front and a 17-inch rear alloy wheel setup. Internationally, KTM has launched the SW variant with wire-spoked wheels. 

KTM 390 Adventure Rivals: 

It goes up against the spartan, yet capable, Royal Enfield Himalayan, the premium BMW G 310 GS and it’ll also rival the upcoming Himalayan 450 and the Hero XPulse 400.
