KTM unveiled two new motorcycles: the 390 Adventure S and the 390 Enduro R at India Bike Week 2024. The event, held at Vagator, saw motorcycle enthusiasts and industry experts gather to witness the latest offerings from the Austrian bike maker.
390 Adventure S
The 390 Adventure S is a new variant in the Adventure series. It features a 21-inch front wheel and a 17-inch rear wire-spoke wheel, making it perfect for tackling rough terrains. The bike is powered by the same 399cc, liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine found in the 390 Duke, delivering 45.9bhp and 39Nm of peak torque. With dual-channel ABS and disc brakes at both ends, the Adventure S promises a safe and thrilling ride.
The Adventure S also boasts advanced riding aids, including traction control and multiple riding modes, which enhance its versatility across different terrains. The bike’s long-travel suspension ensures a comfortable ride, even on bumpy roads. Additionally, the Adventure S comes with a comprehensive digital display, offering navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, and real-time ride stats.
390 Enduro R
The 390 Enduro R, on the other hand, is built for the off-road enthusiasts. It comes with a 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wire-spoke wheel setup, shod with dual-purpose tyres. The bike features a flat seat, stubby LED headlight, and minimal bodywork, making it abuse-friendly and perfect for rugged terrains. The Enduro R also boasts fully adjustable suspension with a wheel travel of 230mm at both ends, ensuring a smooth ride even on the toughest trails.
In addition to its robust build, the Enduro R includes advanced off-road features such as a reinforced frame, skid plates, and handguards, designed to protect the bike and rider in harsh conditions. The bike’s high ground clearance and optimized weight distribution make it highly maneuverable on challenging trails.
