KTM’s ADV portfolio in India introduces two distinct variants

KTM strengthens its ADV presence in India with a feature-packed 390 Adventure X and the debut of the hardcore, global-spec Enduro R for serious off-roaders.

KTM has reinforced its middleweight ADV portfolio in India with the introduction of two distinct offerings — the updated KTM 390 Adventure X and the globally-spec KTM 390 Adventure Enduro R. While the former caters to long-distance touring enthusiasts now seeking more value and tech, the latter is purpose-built for riders who demand uncompromised off-road performance, rooted in Dakar DNA.

The KTM 390 Adventure X continues to be the accessible gateway into KTM’s adventure series, but now gets a significant electronics upgrade. Cruise control with both cruise and speed limiter modes is now standard. The addition of multiple ride modes — Street, Rain, and Off-road — enhances adaptability in changing conditions. Also on board is cornering ABS for added braking confidence mid-lean, and Motorcycle Traction Control (MTC), which improves stability across diverse surfaces.

SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT

The highlight of this launch, however, is the KTM 390 Adventure Enduro R, offered in its global-spec trim. Designed for riders seeking serious trail capability, the Enduro R features a split-trellis frame with long-travel suspension, including a 43-mm inverted telescopic fork up front and a preload-adjustable monoshock at the rear, both offering 230 mm of travel. The 21-inch front and 18-inch rear spoke wheels are shod with aggressive Karoo 4 rubber for optimum grip in technical terrain.

Powering the Enduro R is a 398.63 cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine that delivers 46 PS at 8500 rpm and 39 Nm of torque at 6500 rpm. The six-speed gearbox is equipped with a quickshifter for clutchless shifts, and the electronics suite includes off-road ABS, traction control, and a minimal TFT dashboard with turn-by-turn navigation. With a dry weight of 159.2 kg and 277 mm of ground clearance, it is clear that the Enduro R prioritises capability over comfort. A high saddle height of 895 mm reinforces its hardcore focus.

Both models are now available across KTM showrooms in India. The updated KTM 390 Adventure X is priced at ₹3,03,125, while the international-spec KTM 390 Adventure Enduro R commands ₹3,53,825.
