Here’s all you need to know about the new 390 Adventure

[UPDATE: KTM Has Launched The 390 Adventure In India!]

We have been eagerly anticipating the arrival of a small capacity adventure motorcycle from KTM ever since the first set of spy pics of the 390 Adventure were leaked around June 2018. Though that bike looked like a hardcore version, with spoke rims primarily, the recent spottings have simmered down our expectations slightly as it is going down the adventure touring version. Still, not bad considering that it is made to be more of an all-rounder than a niche off-roader.

Before you go any further, it is pertinent that you check what today’s date is. Yep, you have been April-Fooled. We have not got our hands on anything official from KTM, but the arrival of the small capacity adventure motorcycle is making us more and more impatient with every passing day. If you, like us, cannot wait either and happen to have the previous-gen 390 Duke, well, Autologue Design has a solution for you: the KTM Xplorer kit.

The Xplorer is a base kit which adds on the front end of the Duke to give you this adventure tourer look. It has got a new nose, new visor, wider tank extensions, new mounting brackets for the info cluster and lighting systems and fork covers. All the items have been manufactured by Autologue in Pune itself. This entire kit can be bought as a whole for Rs 13,500. But you can buy some individual parts like the visor and fork covers too.

While it is not part of the kit, Autologue is also offering is a proper bash plate to protect your engine casing when going off-road. It costs Rs 3500. Plus, Autologue is also developing suspension kits for the same soon. More development on this front soon.

The next bike to get this Xplorer kit will be the current-gen 390 Duke, followed by the Bajaj Dominar 400.
