KTM 390 Adventure[2020-2024]

Price: The KTM 390 Adventure will be available in three variants – a standard feature-packed variant priced and a lower seat height variant, both priced at Rs 3,37,043 (ex-showroom Delhi), and the 390 Adventure X variant priced at Rs 2.8 lakh.

Design: The KTM 390 Adventure gets a KTM 450 Rally-inspired design with a sleek bodywork enclosing the muscular trellis frame. The 2022 model received redesigned five-spoke cast wheels that are claimed to be stronger than the units used earlier. The steel trellis subframe is removable, and the sleek tail section is complemented by an upswept exhaust and a meaty dual-purpose 130-section Metzeler Tourance rubber.

Features: The 390 Adventure gets KTM's traditional split LED headlights, on top of which there is a small wind deflector. The instrument cluster is similar to the one on the 390 Duke. The bike gets a split seat setup. To tackle river crossings better, it also gets an upswept exhaust. KTM has equipped the ADV with Street and Off-Road traction control modes, and cornering ABS for extra safety as well. The 390 Adventure X comes equipped with a simple LCD cluster borrowed from its younger sibling, the KTM 250 Adventure, and also misses out on traction control and cornering ABS. Meanwhile, the low seat height variant gets revised suspension internals for a more approachable 830mm seat height.

Engine: While the 390 Adventure is designed to handle rough terrain, it is powered by the same 373cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder, OBD-2 compliant motor that produces 43.5PS and 37Nm, the same as the 390 Duke. The engine works in conjunction with a 6-speed transmission with slipper clutch and a standard quickshifter for the India-spec model.

Suspension, Brakes & Other Details: The 390 Adventure features WP suspension up front but with longer travel than the naked sibling. The rear monoshock also gets longer travel and is pre-load and rebound adjustable. It rolls on 19-inch front and 17-inch rear alloys and also comes with spoke wheels.

Rivals: The KTM 390 Adventure goes up against the BMW G 310 GS, Yezdi Adventure, and the Royal Enfield Himalayan. The top-spec 390 Adventure goes up against the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 and the Hero XPulse 400.

Variants: The KTM 390 Adventure is available in four variants: an affordable X trim, a standard feature-packed variant priced, a lower seat height variant and the spoke wheels one. The X is priced at Rs 2,80,652, while the standard and lower seat height ones carry a Rs 3,38,746 sticker price.
