KTM 390 Adventure X To Be Replaced By 390 Adventure Plus: Report
The report from Bikewale suggests that KTM has already stopped accepting bookings for the 390 Adventure X across the nation. This comes before any official announcement of the introduction of the 390 Adventure Plus variant. However, the official India website of the manufacturer still has the 390 Adventure X listed on it for a price of Rs 2.91 lakh (ex-showroom).
Coming back to the KTM 390 Adventure Plus, it will come with an IMU-based electronics package, which will be borrowed from the standard 390 Adventure. The list of features will also include switchable cornering ABS, switchable cornering traction control, and cruise control. Mechanically, it will be the same as the Adventure X.
The KTM 390 Adventure Plus is unlikely to get an adjustable suspension setup. It will continue to have the same standard setup that it has now. The braking system will continue to be the same with the bike riding on 19-inch front and 17-inch rear alloy wheels. It will continue to have the road-biased characteristics of the outgoing bike, but it will still be capable of going off-road.
With the addition of features, the bike will get a hike in its price, and based on the report, it will be launched in a few weeks in the country.

KTM 160 Duke vs Yamaha MT-15: Which streetfighter are you eyeing at
KTM India has officially entered the sub-200cc streetfighter battle with the all-new 160 Duke , priced at ₹1.85 lakh (ex-showroom).

Both motorcycles obviously go after young, inner-city riders but are defined by differing philosophies: KTM relies on aggression and high-rev excitement, whereas Yamaha relies on refinement and versatility. At ₹ 1.85 lakh, the 160 Duke occupies a higher rung of the ladder. The MT-15, on the other hand, is priced between ₹ 1.70 lakh and ₹ 1.81 lakh (ex-showroom). KTM 160 Duke vs Yamaha MT-15: Price At ₹1.85 lakh, the 160 Duke occupies a higher rung of the ladder. The MT-15, on the other hand, is priced between ₹1.70 lakh and ₹1.81 lakh (ex-showroom). KTM's more premium pricing is a corollary to its more aggressive styling, sharper engine calibration, and feature-laden amenities, but Yamaha is delivering more of an everyman-focused, mid-way package. Also Read : KTM 160 Duke launched in India, RC 160 launching in a few weeks KTM 160 Duke vs Yamaha MT-15: Design KTM has undoubtedly transferred the signature Duke DNA to the 160. It features aggressive lines, an open trellis frame, and a stripped-down tail that lend it a raw, streetfighter-like character. On the other hand, the MT-15 feels more futuristic and athletic. It's compact, with sculpted fuel tank panels, signature twin LED DRLs, and a single-pod projector headlamp. KTM shouts aggression; Yamaha whispers sophistication. KTM 160 Duke vs Yamaha MT-15: Engine and Performance Under the tank, the differences are more than cosmetic. The 160 Duke borrows a downsized version of the 200 Duke's motor, producing 18.74bhp at 9,500rpm and 15.5Nm at 7,500rpm—high-revving and eager to engage. The MT-15's 155cc VVA engine delivers 18.1bhp at 10,000rpm and 14.1Nm at 7,500rpm, focusing on strong mid-range pull and all-round usability. KTM is about peak thrill; Yamaha is about smooth versatility. KTM 160 Duke vs Yamaha MT-15: Hardware KTM sticks with a steel trellis frame, WP USD forks, and a preload-adjustable rear monoshock. Braking is handled via a 320mm front disc and 230mm rear disc with dual-channel ABS. Yamaha's Deltabox frame, USD forks, linked rear monoshock, and aluminium swingarm make it no pushover either. KTM leans sporty and engaging; Yamaha opts for balanced, stable control.
