The updated 390 Adventure is likely to arrive in India early next year
- Gets two new colour options and electronic upgrades
- No change to the mechanicals.
- Could command a premium over the existing model priced at around Rs 3.28 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi)
KTM has unveiled the 2022 390 Adventure globally. It will arrive at dealerships abroad in January 2022, followed by its India launch. The new-gen adventure tourer has received cosmetic and crucial feature upgrades while remaining the same mechanically.
The 2022 KTM 390 Adventure gets two new colour options: black (with orange-coloured graphics) and orange (with teal graphics and highlights). There are two traction control modes: Street and Off-road; the latter remains activated for a short while even if the bike is stationary or the rider has had a fall.
The six-spoke alloys make way for reinforced five-spoke cast 19-17-inch wheels claimed to offer improved resistance and stiffness, and this should further aid off-roading. Moreover, these wheels come wrapped in tubeless Continental TKC 70 tyres. That said, we hope KTM brings us a set of spoke wheels as an accessory soon.
Other aspects of the motorcycle, including the engine, transmission, and the tall and rugged design are the same as before.
The 390 Adventure features a windscreen up front, LED headlight, a 5-inch coloured TFT instrument cluster, sharp tank extensions, an underbelly pan, split-type seats, raised exhaust, and a 14.5-litre fuel tank.
The 2022 model draws power from the same 373cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine (paired with a six-speed transmission and slipper clutch) that churns out 43.5PS and 37Nm..
The ride is taken care of by WP APEX 43 USD front forks and a WP APEX rear monoshock. Meanwhile, for braking, it uses disc brakes at both ends assisted by Bosch 9.1MP dual-channel cornering ABS.
We expect the 2022 KTM 390 Adventure to be priced at a premium over its predecessor. For reference, the 2021 model in India retails at Rs 3,28,286 (ex-showroom Delhi) and competes with the Royal Enfield Himalayan and BMW G310 GS.
KTM 390 Adventure[2020-2024] User Reviews
- An Awesome bike
I Got this bike on july 2023. The best bike if you are looking for touring. You can trust it and take it to any unpredictable roads. It rules that way. Usually an adventure bike people will get scared to do corners. You can just bend the bike and do any corners since MTC ( Multi traction control) is awesome. As I mentioned if you are looking just for a day to day office commute, this bike is not recommend. Since this bike doesn't like slow speeds, it will be aggressive, the bike come out alive only above 5k rpm. Its designed in such a way that you want to go beyond. But a reliable vehicle from ktm products. A must have bike for touring.
- Loved riding every km on it
Amazing bike loved every bit of it feeling smooth while riding great posture very nice touring mods done performance on the highway is great performance on the city is also good. It zips through traffic great breaking performance. Acceleration on the 390 engine is too good no wind noise due to the front shield.
- The Bike that proved everything
KTM Adventure 390 is a very powerful machines made for those long rides. I took the bike to leh ladakh done around 3500Kms in 7 days the bike didn't even break a sweat throughout the ride.From smooth highways to rocky mountain roads,water crossing ,gravel and high altitude passes the bike handled everything like it was built for the exact trip.
- Performance king
The bike performance was ultimate for both street and off road only thing is that mileage is very low around 25-28. Maintenance is not as much that of higher . The initial speed of this monster is ultimate and its handling is very good and you will feel good handling and power while riding in street or offroad
