In a bold move to capture India’s growing adventure bike market, KTM has launched the global-spec KTM 390 Adventure Enduro R in India at an ex-showroom price of ₹3.54 lakh. Known for its hardcore off-road prowess, this model is now available alongside the updated 390 Adventure X, which now features ride-by-wire, cruise control, and dual riding modes.
KTM 390 Adventure Enduro R – Pure Off-Road DNA
The KTM 390 Adventure Enduro R has finally arrived in India in its international-spec form, targeting riders who crave uncompromised off-road experiences. This isn’t just a rebadged street bike; it’s a full-fledged trail machine, featuring:
- Fully-adjustable WP Apex suspension for fine-tuned off-road response
- Spoked wheels (21-inch front, 18-inch rear) are designed for rugged terrains
- Off-road-focused tires and higher ground clearance
- Rally-style seat and ergonomics for extended dirt rides
- Bosch cornering ABS and Off-road mode with quick disengagement
With these features, the KTM 390 Adventure Enduro R positions itself as one of the most capable entry-level adventure motorcycles available in India today.
KTM 390 Adventure X (2025) – Now Smarter and Sharper
Launched alongside the Enduro R, the 2025 KTM 390 Adventure X gets a major tech refresh while retaining its affordable appeal. Priced at ₹2.81 lakh (ex-showroom), it now includes:
- Ride-by-wire throttle
- Two riding modes: Street and Off-road
- Cruise control – a first-in-segment feature for its price
- Dual-channel ABS with off-road tuning
- Updated TFT instrument cluster
These upgrades make the 390 Adventure X much more attractive for daily commuters and highway riders, without compromising on KTM’s core performance DNA.

Segment Shakeup: KTM Raises the Bar
With the introduction of the KTM 390 Adventure Enduro R, KTM has directly challenged other players in the sub-500cc adventure bike segment, including models from Triumph, Royal Enfield, and Yezdi.
This move brings true dual-sport capability to KTM’s Indian portfolio. Unlike the standard 390 Adventure that leans more toward touring, the 390 Adventure Enduro R offers enhanced off-road geometry and componentry, catering specifically to serious off-roaders and rally enthusiasts.
