KTM 390 Adventure Enduro is unveiled in India again, looks

The next-generation KTM 390 Adventure has been spotted uncamouflaged on Indian roads in its production-spec guise. However, this appears to be the Enduro variant, an off-road version of the standard 390 Adventure. Judging from the spy shots, KTM’s quintessential dual-sport motorcycle (390 Adventure Enduro) looks smaller than the standard motorcycle. It is visually easy to identify with its sharp styling and minimalist elements: a beak-like front fender, a sculpted fuel tank with a sharp tank extension, a one-piece seat and a slim tail section. The headlamp is also a one-piece unit, while the mid-mounted footrests put you in an upright riding position. The test bike also features an underbody exhaust pipe and a sari guard.

The instrument panel is not visible in the spy photos and is likely to be an LCD unit with Bluetooth connectivity but no turn indicators. Other expected features include a two-way quickshifter, traction control, ABS and driving modes.

KTM 390 Adventure Enduro: engine, power output

The 390 Adventure Enduro is expected to be powered by a 399cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine which is also used in the existing KTM 390 Duke. The engine is mated to a six-speed gearbox and produces 45bhp and 39Nm of peak torque in the 390 Duke. The engine is likely to be tuned slightly differently in the Enduro to suit its characteristics.
