re: KTM 390 Adventure India launch confirmed. Edit: Launched at 2.99 lakh.

Looks like the unveiling is almost confirmed at the upcoming EICMA 2019 as per zigwheels alongside the smaller 250 adv. Looks really good and production ready in the pictures to me. A 3L~ ex showroom introductory pricing could get a sizeable chunk of whatever little market 310GS and Versys 300 has

Re: Spied: 2018 KTM 390 Adventure

As an Duke 200 owner, I do have mixed feeling about this bike! They could have done more for wind protection and given it few more rugged bits over the regular 390. It could have done with less too! LED headlights and TFT display might be expensive to replace if the owner has some misadventures with his ADV motorcycle.

Hopefully they don't price it beyond RC390, which already has lost its VFM tag after plenty of price hikes.

Anyways, Indian market will most likely receive the 250 Adventure with these exact changes as you mentioned.

So both camps could be happy.

The EICMA video shows the 390 Adv having petal discs and a one piece seat - contrary to the pics posted above.

Re: Spied: 2018 KTM 390 Adventure

Just noticed the seat height - 858mm.

Can barely keep my feet down with the Versys 650 at 840mm. Hope the weight advantage helps here!

This bike may not be suitable for the average Indian build. Not understanding why it's so tall - looks so deceptively small in the pictures.

Closer look at the seat shows a Powerparts logo. The display bike may be kitted with accessories.

Pics above are from KTM Europe Press release. So can safely say that the stock bike may look like this only.

re: KTM 390 Adventure India launch confirmed. Edit: Launched at 2.99 lakh.

So pricing in USA $ 6,200

Will be interesting to see if the 390 or a lesser sibling will come to India and the all important question at what price!

Pricing is slated to be around 3 ex.

UK website is updated now. There are corrections to be above.
  • Slipper clutch is confirmed.
  • Petal discs are not standard. They are part of KTM Powerparts package.
  • Weight is 158kg dry.
  • Seat height is 855mm.

@ ashwinprakas: REKLUSE radius X centrifugal force clutch kit is a Powerpart add-on. Only 524 GBP though.

All good except this is the thing I do not like!! Being a non commuter motorcycle, I wish they had a larger fuel tank (or atleast as a buy in accessory) that can yield 400-450 Km range in one full tank.

Not sure, if 390 can yield 30 Kmpl & use able fuel is 13.5 liters, its barely 405 Km range in one go. If the throttle is spirited, this falls down further.
