KTM's ADV portfolio in India introduces two distinct variants
KTM strengthens its ADV presence in India with a feature-packed 390 Adventure X and the debut of the hardcore, global-spec Enduro R for serious off-roaders. KTM has reinforced its middleweight ADV portfolio in India with the introduction of two distinct offerings — the updated KTM 390 Adventure X and the globally-spec KTM 390 Adventure Enduro R. While the former caters to long-distance touring enthusiasts now seeking more value and tech, the latter is purpose-built for riders who demand uncompromised off-road performance, rooted in Dakar DNA. The KTM 390 Adventure X continues to be the accessible gateway into KTM's adventure series, but now gets a significant electronics upgrade. Cruise control with both cruise and speed limiter modes is now standard. The addition of multiple ride modes — Street, Rain, and Off-road — enhances adaptability in changing conditions. Also on board is cornering ABS for added braking confidence mid-lean, and Motorcycle Traction Control (MTC), which improves stability across diverse surfaces. The highlight of this launch, however, is the KTM 390 Adventure Enduro R, offered in its global-spec trim. Designed for riders seeking serious trail capability, the Enduro R features a split-trellis frame with long-travel suspension, including a 43-mm inverted telescopic fork up front and a preload-adjustable monoshock at the rear, both offering 230 mm of travel. The 21-inch front and 18-inch rear spoke wheels are shod with aggressive Karoo 4 rubber for optimum grip in technical terrain. Powering the Enduro R is a 398.63 cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine that delivers 46 PS at 8500 rpm and 39 Nm of torque at 6500 rpm. The six-speed gearbox is equipped with a quickshifter for clutchless shifts, and the electronics suite includes off-road ABS, traction control, and a minimal TFT dashboard with turn-by-turn navigation. With a dry weight of 159.2 kg and 277 mm of ground clearance, it is clear that the Enduro R prioritises capability over comfort. A high saddle height of 895 mm reinforces its hardcore focus. Both models are now available across KTM showrooms in India. The updated KTM 390 Adventure X is priced at ₹3,03,125, while the international-spec KTM 390 Adventure Enduro R commands ₹3,53,825.

KTM launches updated 390 Adventure X and Global-Spec 390 Adventure Enduro R in India
KTM India has expanded its adventure motorcycle line-up with the launch of two key models — the upgraded KTM 390 Adventure X and the international-spec KTM 390 Adventure Enduro R . The updated Adventure X is priced at ₹3,03,125, while the more rugged Enduro R variant will retail at ₹3,53,825 (ex-showroom). KTM 390 Adventure X update The refreshed 390 Adventure X now boasts segment-first features, enhancing its appeal to touring and off-road enthusiasts. The model includes cruise control with both standard and speed limiter modes, cornering ABS (cABS), multiple ride modes (Street, Rain, Off-road), and Motorcycle Traction Control (MTC). These features were previously reserved for higher-end KTM models and now bring premium capabilities to the accessible ADV segment. Targeted at riders entering the long-distance touring space, the bike continues to offer the familiar 398.63cc single-cylinder engine delivering 46 PS and 39 Nm, paired with a 6-speed gearbox and quickshifter. It retains the split trellis frame and ride-by-wire tech, now paired with a C-type charger and updated instrument cluster. KTM 390 Adventure Enduro R Makes India Debut For hardcore off-roaders, KTM has introduced the globally acclaimed 390 Adventure Enduro R in India. This variant arrives with Dakar-grade suspension and hardware upgrades — including 230 mm wheel travel, spoke wheels (21-inch front and 18-inch rear), tubetype KAROO 4 tyres, and a towering 895 mm seat height. The Enduro R runs on the same 398.63cc mill but is tuned for more rugged performance. A forged swingarm, aluminium handlebar, minimal TFT dash, and dual-channel ABS with Off-road mode round out its trail-focused credentials. KTM India said the models strengthen its leadership in the mid-size ADV segment. Since entering India in 2012, KTM has built a community of nearly 5 lakh riders and operates 450+ outlets nationwide.
