KTM dealerships are offering free accessories on the 390 Adventure models, including a touring seat and bike cover, along with a 10-year extended warranty.
The 390 Adventure shares its engine with the 390 Duke.
The touring seat should be more comfortable for longer hauls when compared to the standard seat that comes from the factory. Then there is the headlamp protector, which will help in protecting the headlamp from stones and chips, as the adventure tourer does not come with a glass cover that we usually see on the headlamps. There is also a lower fender and mudflap extension; the duty of both parts is to reduce the splashing of mud and help in keeping the bike a bit clean. Then there is the centre stand that makes fixing punctures and cleaning and lubing the chain easier. Finally, customers also get a bike cover that protects the bike from external factors. The extended warranty gives peace of mind to the owner in the long term.
KTM 390 Adventure specs
Powering the new KTM 390 Adventure is an updated 399cc LC4C motor that delivers 45.5 bhp and 39 Nm of torque. While it shares its engine with the 390 Duke, KTM has tweaked the final drive by fitting a rear sprocket with three extra teeth. This change improves low-end response and makes the bike more usable off-road and in slow riding conditions. The engine is paired with a 6-speed gearbox, complete with a bi-directional quickshifter and a slipper clutch for smoother and quicker shifts.
What sets the 390 Adventure apart from the 390 Adventure X?
The KTM 390 Adventure lineup is split into two distinct versions, each aimed at a different kind of rider. The more accessible 390 Adventure X sits at the entry point of the range and uses alloy wheels with a 19-inch front and 17-inch rear setup. This configuration, along with its overall tuning, makes it better suited for touring and everyday riding, while also keeping prices in check.
The standard 390 Adventure, on the other hand, leans heavily towards serious off-road use. It gets a larger 21-inch front wheel paired with a 17-inch rear, both wire-spoked and shod with tubeless tyres for better rough-road capability. Adding to its adventure credentials is a fully adjustable suspension, giving riders greater control when the terrain gets challenging.
