KTM recently introduced the 2025 model of the 390 Adventure in India. However, the plans are yet not completed as KTM now awaits to launch its 390 Enduro R in March. It is a more off-road-centric motorcycle that is based on the 390 Adventure itself.
The major change on the Enduro R is that it uses cycle parts that make it easy to ride on off-road trails. For example, it rides on tube tyres with spoke rims. The front tyre is 21-inch in size, while the rear is an 18-inch wheel.
Meanwhile, the suspension duties will be done by the fully adjustable WP USD forks at the front and a preload adjustable monoshock at the rear. The suspension travel of this combo stands at 230mm while the ground clearance is a massive 260mm.
The features list includes a 4-inch TFT console with Bluetooth connectivity, riding modes, traction modes, SMS/call alerts, turn-by-turn navigation, music controls, and more.
Powering the Enduro R is the same 399cc liquid-cooled LC4 engine as used on the 390 Adventure. This engine generates 45.3 bhp of peak power and 39 Nm peak torque. It is mated to a 6-speed transmission with a slipper-assist clutch.
The expected price of the Enduro R will be in the range of Rs 3.3 lakh to Rs 3.5 lakh, ex-showroom.
