The 2025 KTM 390 Adventure has arrived in India, offering a compelling blend of performance, technology, and versatility for riders seeking both on-road comfort and off-road capability. With two distinct variants—the standard 390 Adventure and the more affordable 390 Adventure X—KTM caters to a wide range of adventure enthusiasts.
Power & Performance
At the heart of both variants lies a new 399cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine delivering 46 PS at 8,500 rpm and 39 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm. This marks a notable improvement over the previous 373cc engine, offering enhanced low-end torque and smoother power delivery. The engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox featuring Quickshifter+ for seamless gear transitions.
Advanced Technology
The 2025 KTM 390 Adventure is equipped with a suite of advanced electronic aids
- Ride Modes: Three selectable modes—Street, Rain, and Off-road—allow riders to tailor the bike’s performance to varying conditions.
- Motorcycle Traction Control (MTC): Cornering MTC enhances safety by adjusting traction based on lean angle.
- Cornering ABS & Off-road ABS: These systems provide optimal braking performance both on and off the road.
- Cruise Control: Maintains a steady speed for comfortable long-distance touring.
- 5” Full-Color TFT Display: Offers clear visibility of ride data and integrates with the KTMconnect app for navigation and media control.
The Adventure X variant, while more budget-friendly, includes essential features such as Off-road ABS, Quickshifter+, and the same 5” TFT display with navigation support. However, it omits some premium features like Cornering MTC and Cruise Control.
Chassis & Suspension
Both models are built on a lightweight trellis frame, ensuring agility and stability. The suspension setup includes WP APEX 43mm USD forks with 200mm of travel at the front and a WP APEX monoshock with 205mm of travel at the rear. The standard 390 Adventure offers full adjustability for compression and rebound, while the Adventure X features a non-adjustable setup optimized for comfort.
