KTM 390 Adventure : 2025 KTM 390 Adventure specifications have been confirmed and in a few key areas, this bike is quite different from before. Here, we put together each differenceUpdates for the KTM 390 Adventure engineWith the 2025 390 Adventure using the same engine platform as the new 390 Duke, it’s powered by the new 399cc motor.

The earlier version of the 390 adventure was a reasonably well-kitted machine in its own right, but the new variant goes one up in this aspect. The equipment list includes adjustable suspension, riding modes, 21/17-inch tubeless wire-spoke rims, cornering ABS and traction control, and for the first time on a sub-500cc ADV tourer in India, cruise control.

Also, out goes the bloated look of its predecessor; the 2025 machine is more purposeful looking than ever before. Design wise, it features a slimmer overall profile and a stepped single-piece seat instead of the older bike’s split seats.Difference between KTM 390 Adventure dimensions, cycle partsOne adjustment that will no doubt be noticeable when you throw a leg over the new 390 Adventure is its reduced 830mm perch — a full 25mm less than its predecessor. Even with that much-lower perch, however, the

new bike boasts a massive 227 mm of ground clearance on tap. This is thanks to the new suspension units, which offer 200/205mm (F/R) of travel, which is (and this is becoming quite a theme here) considerably more than the first bike. While both the pre-facelift model and the 2025 bike get identical fuel capacities of 14.5 litres, the 2025 390 Adventure comes in at 183kg, or 6 kilos heavier than the outgoing model.The 2025 KTM 390 Adventure, along with the lower-spec and more riad-biased variant, the 390 Adventure X, will be launching in India within the next few days.
