KTM has launched the new 390 Adventure V in the Indian market. Priced at Rs 3.38 lakh (ex-showroom), the new model is basically the low seat-height variant of the standard 390 Adventure bike. The riding ergonomics of the V variant is better than the standard bike. With a seat height of 830mm, the new motorcycle is now easier for short riders to manage.

However, it remains the same in terms of powertrain and features. Customers who wish to book the vehicle can do so as the new model has started arriving at the brand's dealerships.
