With a launch expected towards the end of the year, the latest spy shots offer intriguing glimpses of the upcoming adventure bike.
The upcoming 390 Adventure boasts a striking new design with a larger, more imposing presence compared to its predecessor. A prominent Dakar Rally-inspired front fairing, complete with a tall windscreen and stacked LED headlights, dominates the bike’s profile. The addition of a beak-style mudguard further enhances its off-road appeal. While the side and tail sections maintain a slim and functional design, the pillion grab rail appears substantial.
A key highlight is the introduction of a full-color TFT display, similar to the one found on the current 390 Duke. This advanced instrument cluster is expected to offer Bluetooth connectivity, and turn-by-turn navigation, and serve as the control center for ABS, traction control, and riding mode settings.
KTM is likely to equip the new 390 Adventure with a revised suspension setup featuring increased travel and adjustability for rebound and compression damping. While retaining the 399cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine from the 390 Duke, producing 45bhp and 40Nm, KTM may introduce engine tuning modifications to optimize low-end torque for off-road performance. A quickshifter is also expected to be part of the package. The test bike was seen sporting wire-spoke wheels with tube-type tires, hinting at a focus on off-road capability. However, there’s a possibility that KTM may offer an alloy wheel option as well.
Pricing for the new KTM 390 Adventure is speculated to be in the range of Rs 3.50 lakh to Rs 3.70 lakh (ex-showroom), but official details are awaited.
