Confirmed: KTM 390 Adventure is Coming to India in 2019

KTM 390 Adventure India Launch: KTM 390 Series is undoubtedly the performance king of Indian motorcycling market below INR 3 lakh. To make this range further effective, KTM seems active on developing new products under the same platform. According to the latest details available, the brand has officially confirmed that 390 Adventure will launch in India next year.

The spy shots of the upcoming model have been doing rounds online from quite sometime. The adventure version seen in these photos is completely different from the one that was spotted last year. EICMA 2018 could be a perfect platform to unveil this machine officially in November 2018.

KTM 390 Adventure seen here carries more of touring spirit than off-road abilities as it supports the same USD forks as standard bikes instead of those fat forks seen on the earlier version. Tyres, however, are perfect for dual purpose riding and comes wrapped over spoke wheels for practical usage.

The headlight lacked its fairing in previous test mules while it is visible in the latest spy photos. Seats are rightly stuffed and placed at relatively better height than their current generation naked and sport cousin. A bash plate is seem placed under the engine of 390 Adventure.

The test mule looks highly inspired from KTM 390 Duke. The changes seen on it includes high placed mudguard, dual purpose tyres, petal disc brakes and a different headlight setup. The bike is presently camouflaged and hence, no shade guess could be made for it presently.

India spec 390 Duke is powered by a 373.2 cc, single cylinder engine producing 43 HP and 37 Nm of torque. KTM could tune the same engine in a different way to offer more power in lower rev range for their upcoming adventure model.
