2025 KTM 390 Adventure India launches tomorrow; what is it

The new version of the KTM 390 Adventure will arrive in India tomorrow, November 14, and is expected to be priced at Rs 3.50 lakh (ex-showroom). ADV comes in two models: X (on-road) and R (off-road). The latter, shown at the recently concluded EICMA, is inspired by the Dakar bike, with an upright front fairing and a towering stance. It has adjustable inverted front forks, horseshoe-shaped LED daytime running lights, and vertically stacked LED projector headlights. The headlight cluster sits below two auxiliary lights, a metal sump guard, an integrated seat, high-mounted beaked fenders and a muscular fuel tank with sharp extensions. The paint scheme of the new 390 Adventure R is orange, white and black.
