Design & Looks
The new Adventure R keeps the same sharp lines you see on the European model. It sits on a high 272 mm ground clearance and a tall 880 mm seat, making it comfortable for long rides on uneven roads. The bike features a matte black engine guard, a dual‑tone windshield, and LED headlamp that looks modern without any India‑only compromises.
- Front: 19‑inch wheel with Pirelli MT‑60 tyre
- Rear: 17‑inch wheel with Pirelli MT‑70 tyre
- Ergonomics: Wide handlebar and adjustable windscreen for better wind protection
Performance & Mileage
Under the fuel tank sits KTM’s 373 cc single‑cylinder liquid‑cooled engine, delivering 44 hp at 9,500 rpm and 35 Nm of torque. The bike is paired with a 6‑speed gearbox and a slipper clutch for smoother downshifts on twisty roads. KTM claims a mileage of around 30 km/l, which is respectable for a performance adventure bike.
Price & Rivals
At Rs. 3,77,915 (ex‑showroom, Delhi) the 390 Adventure R sits between the Hero XPulse 200 and the Royal Enfield Himalayan in terms of price, but it offers a far more refined engine and premium components. Competitors like the Bajaj Dominar 400 cost slightly more, yet the KTM’s lighter chassis and higher ground clearance give it an edge for true off‑road adventures.
- Key rivals: Royal Enfield Himalayan, Bajaj Dominar 400, Hero XPulse 200
- Why choose KTM? Superior power‑to‑weight ratio, factory‑fitted adventure kit, and global‑spec hardware.
