Latest Updates on KTM 390 Adventure

The KTM 390 Adventure is turning heads with its striking design, improved features, and robust performance. This latest iteration of the highly regarded adventure motorcycle comes loaded with advanced technology, making it a compelling choice for both on-road and off-road enthusiasts. With a higher stance and new aesthetics, the 390 Adventure is poised to cement its place in the adventure motorcycle segment. Notable highlights include its agile body design, advanced engine technology, riding modes, and improved suspension components. This model not only matches the rugged demands of off-roading but also excels in everyday usability for city commuting. The KTM 390 Adventure continues to uphold the renowned KTM spirit of innovation, making it a top contender in the adventure motorcycle category. With the latest update, the ADV gets a downsized engine to comply with the latest taxation rules. This brings a minor decrease in power delivery, although the difference in real-world riding dynamics is barely noticeable.

KTM 390 Adventure Price

Current pricing for the KTM 390 Adventure is set at a competitive ₹2.80 Lakhs (ex-showroom, Delhi). The bike is available in one fully loaded variant with two colour options. The new adventure tourer was unveiled at the EICMA 2024 motorcycle show held in Milan, Italy, and it made its India debut at the India Bike Week.

KTM 390 Adventure Launch Date

The KTM 390 Adventure 2024 model has been officially launched and has started arriving at dealerships across India. This motorcycle is built and designed to meet the needs of adventure riders, ensuring they can tackle diverse terrains with confidence. It has gained a lot of attention since its unveiling due to the anticipated features and specifications that cater to touring enthusiasts.

KTM 390 Adventure Variants

The KTM 390 Adventure is available in a single variant, priced at ₹3.67 lakh (ex-showroom). This variant is designed with the core essence of adventure riding while ensuring accessibility for riders looking for performance without compromising on critical features. Additionally, the motorcycle showcases options for customisation and accessories that enhance its adaptability for various riding conditions, ensuring it meets the demands of diverse riders.

KTM 390 Adventure Design and Exterior

The design of the KTM 390 Adventure is nothing short of stunning. It features an aggressive stance that is dominant yet sleek, created to showcase both style and functionality. The dual-projector headlamps, along with LED daytime running lights (DRLs), confer a modern aesthetic while improving visibility during any ride. Additionally, the upgraded front mudguard and sharply styled front cowl reflect a sporty character and adventure-ready ethos. KTM has embraced a colour palette that resonates with its racing heritage, presenting options like Ceramic White and Electronic Orange. These striking colour schemes highlight the bike's angular lines and sharp contours, while the orange frame accentuates the overall look. The spoked wheels used on the more off-road-focused models dominate in performance, ensuring impressive handling on rugged surfaces while appealing to the adventure bike aesthetic.

Vibrations

The Indian motorcycle market is witnessing a major shift after the government’s revised GST structure started favouring motorcycles under the 350cc mark. Naturally, manufacturers have been quick to respond, and KTM is among the first premium brands to adapt. The Austrian brand, along with Bajaj, has introduced a new 349cc version of the KTM 390 Adventure X in a bid to take advantage of the lower taxation slab while keeping the pricing aggressive.

But does downsizing the engine dilute the KTM experience? After spending time with the new KTM 390 Adventure with the new 350cc engine, the answer is a little complicated.

Same Motorcycle, New Heart

Visually, the new 350 cc engine is identical to the 399 cc unit that is on the other 390 Adventure models.

At first glance, nothing has changed. This is essentially the same KTM 390 Adventure X with the same bodywork, chassis, suspension setup and equipment list. You still get a six-axis IMU with cornering ABS, traction control, cruise control, ride modes, bi-directional quickshifter, and a 19/17-inch alloy wheel setup. The suspension travel remains generous at 200mm front and 205mm rear, while ground clearance stands at a healthy 230mm.

The biggest talking point is the new 349cc single-cylinder engine. KTM has reduced the stroke to bring the displacement below the GST threshold while still producing 41.5PS and 33.5Nm. On paper, those numbers still look strong.

Performance: Fast, But Less Exciting

The TFT cluster is bright, there is a USB Type C to charge mobile devices and cruise control as well.

The earlier 398cc motor was one of the most entertaining single-cylinder engines in the segment. It had a punchy mid-range, explosive acceleration and a proper hooligan character. The new 349cc engine feels noticeably calmer.

The biggest difference is in the mid-range. The engine now wakes up properly only after 6,000rpm. Below that, it feels flatter and less eager. You have to rev it harder and work the gearbox more frequently to extract performance.

It is still quick, but the raw excitement that defined the previous motor has reduced significantly. The new engine feels more linear and touring-focused rather than aggressive and playful.

That said, KTM has improved the quickshifter. Gear shifts are smoother, more consistent and significantly better than before.

Vibrations Are Better, Not Gone

Theer are no changes to the design of the motorcycle.

One major complaint with the previous 398cc Adventure was vibration levels, especially at highway speeds. The new 349cc motor improves things slightly.

Vibrations still begin around 4,500rpm and return strongly after 7,000rpm, but they are less harsh than before. At cruising speeds in fifth and sixth gear, the engine feels more relaxed than the old setup.

However, it is still not the smoothest motorcycle in the class, and taller riders will continue noticing some resonance through the chassis.

Ride and Handling Continue To Impress

I am not a fan of the rear tail light because of how small it is.

Thankfully, KTM hasn’t touched the dynamics. And that’s great news because this remains one of the sharpest handling adventure tourers in the segment.

The bike disguises its 181kg kerb weight brilliantly and feels neutral, agile and confidence inspiring through corners. The suspension setup also deserves praise. Despite being non-adjustable, it delivers a plush ride quality and absorbs bad roads impressively well. The MRF Tramplr tyres continue to offer excellent grip too.

Verdict

The new KTM 390 Adventure 350 makes perfect sense from a business perspective. It retains almost all the equipment and capability of the larger-engined model while benefiting from GST advantages that help keep pricing attractive.

At around ₹2.80 lakh, it offers tremendous value considering the amount of technology and performance on offer.

But emotionally, this motorcycle feels different. The previous 398cc engine had attitude and character. This new 349cc unit is more practical, smoother and easier to justify financially, but it has lost some of the spark that made KTMs feel special.

For riders looking for a tech-loaded touring motorcycle at an aggressive price, this still remains a compelling package. But enthusiasts who loved the raw, exciting nature of the older motor may walk away slightly disappointed. However, I would still bring this point again, the 390 Adventure costs ₹62,000 less on the ex-showroom and around ₹75,000 less on the on-road cost when compared to the 390 Adventure X. Now, that is a big amount for someone who is in the market for an adventure tourer.
