      India-Spec KTM 390 Adventure S, 390 Enduro R Debuts At IBW In Goa

      by

      India-spec KTM 390 Adventure S, 390 Enduro RWhere India-spec KTM 390 Adventure S emerges as an Adventure Tourer, 390 Enduro R sheds the bodywork and is a hardcore off-roader
      After a busy spectacle at EICMA 2024, KTM has brought its 390 Adventure lineup to India. The new 390 Adventure S and 390 Enduro R debuts in India for the first time at ongoing IBW (India Bike Weak) in Goa. Looking at these motorcycles, we can see that they are very close to what was shown at EICMA 2024.
      New KTM 390 Adventure
      Manufactured by Bajaj Auto in India, KTM’s 390 lineup holds quite a recall here and abroad. Known for its manic performance within the single-cylinder offerings, KTM 390 is quite popular. Within the 390 portfolio, 390 Adventure holds a special position as it caters to the widely popular Adventure Tourer genre.
      390 Adventure S
      Alongside 2025 KTM 390 Adventure, the company also showcased 390 Enduro and 390 SMC at EICMA 2024. These motorcycles are completely new from KTM. For India, KTM has showcased 390 Adventure S and 390 Enduro R. SMC 390, on the other hand, is a Supermoto motorcycle based on this platform with 17-inch wheels at both ends.
      Sticking with the just-debuted India-spec KTM 390 Adventure S and 390 Enduro R, the company has showcased them at ongoing IBW in Goa. There are differences between these two machines in the way they are built and their capabilities. 390 Adventure S is more of an Adventure Tourer with decent off-roading and trail capabilities.
      390 Enduro R
      Aventure S rides on 21-inch front and 17-inch rear wire-spoke wheels. Ground clearance is lower on 390 Adventure S and it gets a lower seat height, when compared to 390 Adventure R showcased at EICMA 2024. Suspension setup comprises of USD front forks and rear mono-shock and 390 Adventure S also gets a TFT instrument cluster.
      More capable 390 Enduro R
      On the other hand, 390 Enduro R is far more capable and is a proper off-roader. 390 Enduro is a more dedicated and hard-core off-roader with minimal bodywork and less weight. It gets a larger 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wire-spoke wheels combination. The suspension is likely to be fully adjustable for compression and rebound. Suspension travel could be around 230mm.
      390 Enduro R
      Because of the larger wheels and higher suspension travel, the ground clearance is higher as well. Thus the seat height has been pushed up too. Where features are concerned, 390 Enduro R gets similar attributes as seen with 390 Adventure S, sans the bodywork.
      390 Adventure S
      Where powertrains are concerned, both Adventure S and Enduro R gets the same 399cc DOHC 4V/cyl liquid-cooled single-cylinder motor from 390 Duke. This motor is capable of generating 45 bhp and 40 Nm, mated to a 6-speed gearbox, slipper clutch and a bi-directional quick-shifter. KTM might tune this engine differently to achieve an optimum character for these machines.

      New KTM 390 Adventure India Debut Teased
      The same 399cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine debuted with 390 Duke will power the new KTM 390 Adventure soon launching in India

      KTM has had the most activity in recent times. For starters, the company relaunched some of its big bike portfolio in India after a very long time. At the EICMA 2024 show, KTM showcased a bunch of technology and innovations. But for Indian market, the biggest talking point has to be 390 Adventure.

      This single-cylinder high-performance ADV tourer is one of KTM’s most celebrated models in India. The new generation model was unveiled at EICMA and is set for an official India debut at IBW 2024, held in Goa between December 6th and 7th. KTM India has teased the same on their social media handles. Let’s take a look.

      390 Adventure India Debut

      Ever since its launch, KTM 390 Adventure has been a staple name in the motorcycling fraternity. It offered a comfortable touring experience, light off-roading, rough-roading and high-speed cruising abilities. Features like the TFT instrument cluster with connectivity also helped the proposition.

      With the new generation of 390 Adventure, KTM is stepping up its game and is offering a lot more in terms of functionalities and capabilities. For starters, New 390 Adventure will be offered in multiple variants – 390 Adventure X and 390 Adventure R. The latter being the more exciting one of these two.

      Even though design, chassis and body panels are similar, 390 Adventure X is positioned below 390 Adventure R. X gets 19-inch front and 17-inch rear alloy wheels, apt for touring. At 200 mm, suspension has less travel and is non-adjustable. It even misses out on cornering ABS and the instrumentation is LCD unit.

      In comparison, 390 Adventure R emerges as the more hardcore one as it packs a lot of off-road-worthy hardware. For starters, it gets fully adjustable suspension with 230 mm of travel, 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wire-spoke wheels, higher ground clearance, a TFT instrument cluster, cruise control, dual-sport tyres and more.
      KTM 390 ADV R Side

      390 Adventure R also gets advanced rider aids like cornering ABS and MTC (Motorcycle Traction Control), among others. However, R has a seat height of 885 mm, which is substantially higher than X’s seat height of 825 mm.

      The same powertrain as 390 Duke

      The sharp and edgy bodywork, projector LED headlights, tall windscreen, knuckle guards, front beak, semi-fairing and fuel tank design are among the many attributes shared between both variants of New KTM 390 Adventure. They will also share the same 399cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that kicks out around 45 bhp and 40 Nm, mated to a 6-speed gearbox. It has to be seen whether KTM India is keen on introducing 390 Enduro and 390 SMC at IBW 2024. More
