KTM 390 Adventure Revealed To The World After Much Teasing!

05/11/2019

The new KTM 390 ADVENTURE has harnessed the attributes and DNA from the popular and highly rated KTM 790 ADVENTURE as well as the development information gleaned from nearly two decades of Dakar Rally success. A breezy, agile, and ideal entry model for riders keen to discover the ‘adventure’ sensation, this motorcycle offers added versatility for touring and light offroading. Using elements of the KTM 390 DUKE as a base, the KTM 390 ADVENTURE offers proximity to the feeling and performance found at the root of the all-conquering KTM 450 RALLY but with crucial A2 license compatibility and current Euro emissions standards as part of the package.

KTM 390 Adventure is more of an touring bike with more suspension travel, which is going to be adjustable at the front and rear. We expect the engine to be BS6 compliant which in Europe spec is Euro 5 compliant. There is a bash plate to protect the motorcycle underbelly. The exhaust no follows a proper route out which is from the front to the rear via below and not the side. That area no houses a coolant box. The bike gets 200 mm ground clearance and a 855mm seat height. The motorcycle gets traction control and switchable ABS.

The engine will have same 45 PS of power and 35 Nm of torque from its single-cylinder liquid cooled 4-valve engine. Knobbly tyres which are 130/17 section at the rear and 100/19 section at the front should give it just about alright credibility off-road. Gearing change should be done and we will know that soon. Stay tuned to more details because the above paragraph is what KTM has sent as information.
