Austrian motorcycle maker KTM unveiled the all-new 390 Adventure S and 390 Enduro R at India Bike Week 2024. Aimed at adventure touring enthusiasts, the KTM 390 Adventure S boasts significantly improved suspension, better electronics and a new engine, over the previous model, for enhanced performance and comfort on a variety of terrains.
These are going to be the 390 Adventure S, 390 Adventure X, and the 390 Enduro. The Enduro R, on the other hand, is built for hardcore off-road enthusiasts, offering rugged suspension and design suited for challenging trails. Both the KTM 390 Adventure S and the Enduro R will feature the new 399 cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled motor tuned for 45.5 bhp and 39 Nm of peak torque. The engine gets paired with a 6-speed gearbox.

KTM 390 Adventure S and Enduro R: Design
KTM 390 Adventure S gets inspiration from the elder sibling, 1390 Adventure. The motorcycle looks quite rally-inspired with vertically stacked twin-projector LED headlights and Dakar-style bodywork. The design does give the motorcycle a bold, adventurous stance, and makes it look very different from the 390 Adventure that is on sale currently. The 2025 model is much larger and is bound to offer a far better riding position for those touring long distances as well as off-road adventures.
The KTM Enduro R follows the classic enduro-style design. It has a beak-like front fender and a compact headlight assembly. The overall design is sleek and minimalist, with a sharp and streamlined tank that enhances its rugged, off-road-focused appeal.
