2025 KTM 390 Adventure, Adventure X Specifications Revealed
Over two months since its global debut at EICMA 2024, KTM has finally revealed the full specifications of the 2025 KTM 390 Adventure series. To be offered in three variants globally- standard, X and R, the changes on the latest iteration of KTM’s popular adventure tourer are significant and include a new engine. Confirmed for an India launch, it is the standard 390 Adventure and the more road-biased Adventure X that are expected to make it to India shores, with the more hardcore R variant likely to be reserved for foreign markets.

KTM 390 Adventure (Standard)
The design of the new KTM 390 Adventure is vastly different from its predecessor
Visually, the 390 Adventure gets sleeker, more exposed styling and edgier body parts than before. Up front, it gets a vertically stacked dual projector headlamp outlined by daytime-running lamps, a tall windscreen, and a beak-style mudguard. Towards the side, the motorcycle gets a sharp-looking front cowl, a thin seat, and prominent side panels below the seat. Another notable change is the fact that it features an underbelly exhaust, instead of an upswept exhaust like its predecessor. The rear section of the bike gets minimal body panels and a small tail lamp, much like its predecessor. The 390 Adventure will feature a 5-inch TFT display seen on the 390 Duke, with Bluetooth and smartphone connectivity. The 390 Adventure gets three ride modes- street, rain and off-road.
The KTM 390 Adventure is now powered by the same 399 cc engine as the 390 Duke
In terms of cycle parts, the motorcycle features a WP Apex upside-down fork setup along with a rear monoshock, with 200 mm suspension travel on both ends. Braking duties on the bike are handled by a 320 mm front disc and a 240 mm rear disc. The seat height of the motorcycle stands at 835 mm, while the weight of the bike without fuel is 165 kg. The 390 Adventure will ride on spoked wheels – 21-inch front – and 17-inch rear, both of which will be offered with tubeless tyres.
On the powertrain front, the 390 Adventure is now powered by the same ‘LC4c’ 399 cc, single-cylinder engine as the 390 Duke. The liquid-cooled mill churns out 44 bhp and 39 Nm of peak torque on the motorcycle. The engine comes mated to a six-speed gearbox.

KTM 390 Adventure X
The KTM 390 Adventure X rides on 19-inch front and 17-inch rear alloys
Visually, the KTM Adventure X is nearly identical to the standard model, featuring the same styling cues such the dual projector headlamp, beak-style mudguard and a sharp-looking front cowl. The biggest change on the Adventure X over the standard variant is the fact that it gets alloy wheels, in line with its more road-biased character. Similar to the other variants, the Adventure X also gets a 5-inch TFT display, and will be offered with electronics such as cruise control, along with the same set of ride modes.
The seat height of the motorcycle is 825 mm, 10 mm lower than the standard 390 Adventure
On the mechanical front, the X variant remains mostly the same as the standard variant, featuring a WP Apex upside-down fork setup along with a rear monoshock, with 200 mm suspension travel on both ends. The braking hardware is also similar and handled by a 320 mm front disc and a 240 mm rear disc. The seat height of the motorcycle is 825 mm, 10 mm lower than the standard 390 Adventure. The 390 Adventure X rides on a 19-inch front wheel and a 17-inch rear wheel.
Powertrain details also remain the same, with the 390 Adventure X being powered by the same liquid-cooled 399 cc engine that churns out 44 bhp and 39 Nm of peak torque on the motorcycle. The engine comes mated to a six-speed gearbox.
