एसीआई की एक हालिया रिपोर्ट के अनुसार, केटीएम 390 एडवेंचर आधिकारिक तौर पर आईबीडब्ल्यू में भारतीय बाजार में लॉन्च होगा (इंडिया बाइक वीक) दिसंबर को 6-7, 2019. हमारे देश में लॉन्च से पहले, बहुप्रतीक्षित 390 एडवेंचर नवंबर में ईआईसीएमए ऑटो शो में दुनिया की शुरुआत करेगा 2019.
केटीएम 390 एडवेंचर को हाल ही में परीक्षण करते हुए देखा गया था जो इसके बाहरी डिजाइन के बारे में बहुत कुछ बताता है. बाइक 19 इंच के फ्रंट व्हील और 17 इंच के रियर व्हील पर चलती दिखाई दी. The production-ready model that was seen testing was equipped with touring-oriented accessories which raised the question that whether there will be a pure touring focused version or an off-road based variant with spoked wheels. It seems like KTM is working on multiple variants of the 390 Adventure.
Mechanically, केटीएम 390 Adventure will use the same engine as in the 390 Duke. The 373.2cc motor is capable of producing 43.5HP of maximum power and 37Nm of peak torque. Though we can expect the engine to be tuned differentially, maybe we can see an increase in torque so as to make the bike more adventure specific.
Talking about the comfort, the seat of the bike looks wide and high whereas the distance between the tyre and rear seat confirms extended suspension travel on the upcoming model. Moreover, it has got an ample amount of ground clearance. The handlebar of the test mule can be seen equipped with knuckle guards and its lower section features crash protectors.
Coming to the pricing, the 390 Adventure can cost about INR 30,000 to INR 40,000 more than the 390 Duke, making it an INR 2.80-2.90 lakh motorcycle, which means it would still cost less than its nearest rival, the BMW G310GS, which is priced at INR 3.49 lakh (ex-showroom). केटीएम 390 Adventure will launch with BSVI-compliant engine, and the same updated engine will also make its way into the 390 Duke and the RC 390 in early 2020.
