KTM 390 Adventure vs KTM 390 Enduro R: Which one will you pick
KTM motorcycles offer the widest selection of riding preferences. The KTM 390 Enduro R and 390 Adventure, both are powered by KTM's 399cc LC4c engine and demonstrate the company's commitment to do-it-all off-road and adventure riding.
While both of these motorcycles use the same engine and suspension components, their distinct design, specifications, and off-road capabilities offer the loyal KTM motorcycle customer alternatives beyond a single engine, but often leads to some confusion as to what to buy. Here's how the two motorcycles compare against each other.

The KTM 390 Adventure and 390 Enduro R indicate their respective uses in design. The 390 Adventure is built for cross-country touring, as seen in its large 14.5-litre fuel tank, taller windscreen, and more spacious bodywork. These elements allow for greater comfort and wind deflection for riders who want to ride over mixed terrain for longer distances. The 390 Adventure also has a more substantial presence, sporting an upright riding position reminiscent of Dakar rally bikes.
In contrast, the 390 Enduro R is more utilitarian, with serious off-road capability in its DNA. It has a leaner, nimbler appearance, with minimal bodywork, a squat, 9-litre fuel tank, and a smaller LED headlamp. That makes the Enduro R better suited to technical trails than to long-distance commuting. Besides the smaller tank, there is little difference in weight between the two—the difference would be maybe 5kg—largely dependent on the larger tank on the Adventure.
Both the 390 Enduro R and the 390 Adventure come equipped with KTM's 399cc LC4c engine. Both bikes feature a six-speed gearbox and deliver 45.37 bhp and 39 Nm of torque. Although the engine details remain the same, suspension setup on the Enduro R and rear sprocket setup have been adjusted to keep pace with its off-road riding, with enhanced torque and ride quality when moving over uneven terrain.

While the KTM 390 Adventure and the 390 Enduro R ride on a shared platform, the Enduro R features retuned suspension that gives more spring preload and better resistance to bottoming out. The Enduro R's setup is tuned for rugged trails, and it offers better stability when the bike is ridden off-road. Suspension travel on both the bikes is 200mm/205mm on the Indian-spec bikes, but the international version of the Enduro R features a longer suspension range.
The most apparent variation is the wheels and tires. The 390 Enduro R features a 21-inch front wheel and 18-inch rear wheel with standard tubed spoke wheels, providing superior durability and off-road performance. The 390 Adventure's 21/17-inch (front/rear) wheels feature tubeless-type spoke wheels, which are better for on-road application but still with some off-road performance.
Both have the same brake setups, including a 240mm rear disc, but the Enduro R gets a smaller 285mm front rotor compared to the 320mm on the 390 Adventure. The Enduro R's bigger rear wheel also increases its ground clearance to 253mm compared to the Adventure's 237mm.
One of the biggest distinctions between the two motorcycles is their price tag. KTM 390 Enduro R retails for ₹3.37 lakh, ₹31,000 less than the price of the 390 Adventure at ₹3.68 lakh. All prices are ex-showroom.

Whether it's rocky terrain, desert dunes, or high-speed stages, the Rally Replica has been engineered to conquer it all with factory-level precision. Built with Purpose: Dakar DNA in Every Detail The 2026 KTM 450 Rally Replica mirrors the brand's Dakar race bike in both form and function. Upfront, a vertically stacked LED headlamp is housed within a clear rally cowl that doubles as a wind visor. Behind it sits a newly designed carbon-fibre navigation tower, capable of accommodating a traditional paper roadbook or a digital display. KTM is using an up-swept Akrapovic exhaust for the 450 Rally Replica The cockpit features a single-piece tubular handlebar, billet triple clamps, and multiple control switches for rally navigation. The bike rides on a laser-cut, hand-welded chassis, suspended by premium 48mm WP XACT Pro closed-cartridge forks and a fully adjustable rear monoshock, both tuned for long-distance cross-country competition.

While official power figures are yet to be disclosed, KTM has focused on efficiency and cooling by fitting dual radiators, replacing the previous single-radiator setup. A lightweight Akrapovič titanium exhaust system ensures race-spec performance while keeping weight down. Rally-Ready Components The 450 Rally Replica is equipped for endurance with three fuel tanks (two in front, one rear), offering a total capacity of approximately 34.5 litres, essential for multi-stage racing. KTM's focus on rider comfort and efficiency is evident in its aerodynamically tuned fairing that minimizes turbulence and fatigue. The integrated rally dashboard includes vital warning lights and mounting points for advanced navigation systems. There is a bash plate, knobby tyres and three fuel tanks. Braking duties are handled by a 300 mm disc up front and a 240 mm disc at the rear, giving the bike excellent stopping power when descending steep trails or navigating technical sections. Exclusivity and Price For 2025, KTM will produce only 100 units of the 450 Rally Replica, priced at $40,000 USD (around ₹ 33.38 lakh, excluding taxes).

The Yezdi Adventure has a 334cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine whereas the KTM Adventure 390 has a 399cc single-cylinder motor Check Offers The mid-sized adventure motorcycle segment continues to grow with updated models offering varying blends of design, features, and off-road capability. The recently refreshed 2025 Yezdi Adventure and the updated KTM 390 Adventure present two different takes on the adventure touring formula. This comparison looks at how they differ across key aspects such as design, features and specifications. 2025 Yezdi Adventure vs 2025 KTM Adventure 390: Design The 2025 Yezdi Adventure has received only minor cosmetic revisions, but those are still important.

Dual-channel ABS comes as standard, and the digital console offers Bluetooth connectivity. There's no inclusion of riding modes or traction control, which could be seen as a missed opportunity for tech-savvy riders.
