The 390 Adventure is based on the 390 Duke, using the same engine and frame as well. The 373cc liquid-cooled DOHC engine will be BS-6 compliant on the Adventure. The motor produces 43 BHP and 37 Nm of peak torque in its current state. The BS-6 engine might come with the same power figures but with slightly reduced fuel efficiency.
The suspension setup is handled by 43mm USD forks at the front and a WP-sourced pre-load adjustable monoshock with rebound damping at the back. For braking, you rely on a 340mm front disc brake and a 240mm rear disc brake with dual-channel ABS as standard.
For performance aid, KTM is offering ride-by-wire technology as well as a Supermoto mode. In this mode, the experienced riders can turn off the ABS and traction control. Other features include split LED headlamps, a digital TFT colour instrument console with Bluetooth connection and much more.
