According to spy shots, the India-spec model is likely to come with a 19-inch front wheel. Recent spy shots from Europe revealed that the 390 Adventure features a new 21-inch front wheel with a combination of a 17-inch rear. However, KTM could offer this setup as an option in the Indian market for off-road enthusiasts. A 19-inch front setup is also likely to make the 390 Adventure seat height friendly and comfortable for most Indian buyers. However, the majority of the motorcycle is likely to correspond with the European-spec model.
