Launch and Price

New KTM 390 Adventure R has been launched in India at a price of ₹3,77,915 (Ex-Shorem, Delhi). Interestingly, it is close to ₹20,000 cheaper than Regular 390 Adventure. The reason is given tube tires, which are considered more reliable in terms of off-roading. Seeing the price is clear that KTM has offered it as a value-packed offer for anthuziasts.

Engine and performance

If the engine is concerned, this adventure machine gets the same well-known 398.63cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder DOHC engine, generating 46 PS power at 8,500 rpm and 39 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm. This engine comes with an electronic throttle body, making the response even sharper.

This is accompanied by a 6-speed gearbox and A&S slipper clutch, which keeps the bike under control even in hard downshifting. Whether it is a long highway or a stony track, the engine assures you.
