- Adjustable suspension, cruise control, riding modes on 390 ADV
- 390 ADV X runs on 19/17-inch alloy wheels, gets simpler equipment
KTM 390 Adventure, 390 Adventure X full details
Before we start with the technical differences between both bikes, we’ll list out the common features. Both are powered by the same engine as the latest 390 Duke and here too, this mill is rated for 46hp and 39Nm of torque. Both share the same main frame, subframe and have similiar styling. The rest, though, is remarkably different.
We’ll start with the 390 Adventure as this bike is one we have seen before, when it was showcased at IBW. The big number that will stand out to most people is that the 2025 390 Adventure has an 825mm seat height, which is a whole 30mm less than the previous model. Despite that substantial reduction in seat height, the bike now has 227mm of ground clearance on offer, 27mm more than before.
The 2025 390 Adventure also has more suspension travel than before, with 200mm at the front and 205mm available at the rear. And unlike the previous bike, which came with 19/17-inch tubed wire-spoke wheels, the 2025 model comes with 21/17-inch tubeless spoked wheels. Braking is handled by a 320mm disc at the front and a 240mm disc at the rear. At 183kg, the 2025 390 Adventure is 6 kilos heavier than the earlier bike, despite carrying the same 14.5 litres of fuel.
The 390 Adventure also has a raft of riding aids on offer including 3 riding modes - Off-Road, Street and Rain -, cornering ABS (which is switchable), a bidirectional quickshifter and for the first time on a sub-500cc ADV in India, cruise control. All these functions are controlled via the same 5-inch TFT display seen on the latest-gen Duke models.
Moving onto the 390 Adventure X, this bike is the more budget-friendly option in the range and for this generation, it is also more road-biased. To that effect, it runs on 19/17-inch alloy wheels and has non-adjustable suspension, although it has the same travel as the standard 390 Adventure. The X has the same seat height, ground clearance and fuel capacity as the 390 Adventure. But at 182kg, the X is a kilo lighter than the higher variant. Compared to the 2025 390 Adventure, the X is quite a bit less tech-laden and it only comes with off-road ABS and a bidirectional quickshifter.
Both bikes are available in two colours - orange and white. Considering that the KTM’s Indian website has been updated with the latest-gen of all its Adventure models, an India launch is expected very soon. For reference, the earlier 390 Adventure X was priced at Rs 2.81 lakh, while the 390 Adventure used to cost Rs 3.42 lakh. When these 2025 models get launched, we expect a small price increase over these outgoing bikes.
