New KTM 390 Adventure 2025

The KTM 390 Adventure 2025 lineup boasts technical upgrades and a clearer distinction between off-road and all-round models. The R version is optimized for challenging terrain, while the X version is geared towards riders seeking a balanced mix of on-road and off-road capabilities.

The KTM 390 ADVENTURE R is specially designed for challenging off-road adventures. It features a new steel trellis frame with optimized geometry and a fully adjustable WP APEX 43 mm open-cartridge suspension with 230 mm of suspension travel. The suspension can be adjusted in 30 clicks for rebound and compression. The rear suspension consists of a WP APEX separate piston shock with 230 mm of suspension travel, which is also adjustable.

Additionally, the 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels are fitted with Mitas Enduro Trail E07+ tires, boosting off-road prowess. An adjustable brake lever, an adjustable rear brake, and optimized footpeg positioning improve ergonomics for extended rides, whether standing or seated. The bike features a 5-inch TFT display with KTM MyRide connectivity and multiple riding modes, including "Offroad," "Street," and "Rain." The traction control can be fully disabled, and the off-road ABS remains active even after a restart.

In Austria, prices start at €8,099.

In Germany, prices start at €7,299.

The new X version is presented as an entry-level variant of the KTM A2 adventure bikes. It comes equipped with a 19-inch cast front wheel and a 17-inch rear wheel, fitted with MRF Meteor or Apollo Tramplr XR tires. The suspension offers 200 mm of travel at both the front and rear, consisting of a WP APEX 43 mm open-cartridge fork with fixed damping. The rear shock's preload can be adjusted using tools.

The model features simpler electronics, such as an LC display, and lacks lean-sensitive assistance systems. The weight has been reduced, targeting riders looking for a cost-effective yet capable adventure option.

In Austria, prices start at €6,499.

In Germany, prices start at €5,799.

The new two-part steel trellis frame, derived from the KTM 390 DUKE platform, provides increased rigidity and improved stability. The motorcycle offers enhanced ground clearance and optimized footpeg positioning to boost comfort on long rides. The rear subframe is designed as a bolted steel trellis structure to enhance stability and ease of repair.

Both models are powered by the newly developed LC4c single-cylinder engine, already used in the KTM 390 DUKE. The revised cylinder head and a new injection system with a finer spray pattern ensure enhanced combustion efficiency and lower emissions in line with EURO 5.+ standards. A strategically repositioned thermostat improves temperature management and ensures stable engine performance in various riding conditions.

The maintenance intervals have been extended to 10,000 km. A revised gearbox with a shorter shift lever travel and optimized shift forks ensures more precise shifting. Additionally, all models are equipped with a Power Assist Slipper Clutch (PASC), which facilitates downshifting and keeps the rear wheel stable. An optional Quickshifter+ feature is also available.

The KTM 390 Adventure lineup draws design inspiration from KTM rally motorcycles. It features a sleek and compact profile, a rally-inspired instrument cluster, a compact 14-liter metal tank, LED lighting at the front and rear, and durable bodywork elements. Both models are equipped with ByBre brakes, featuring a 320 mm front disc and a 240 mm rear disc. The braking system has been revised for improved heat resistance and more consistent braking performance.
