The next-generation KTM 390 Adventure has been spotted in its production-spec form, completely undisguised on Indian roads. However, this seems to be the Enduro variant, an off-road-focused version of the standard 390 Adventure. Judging from the spy shots, KTM's quintessential dual-sport bike (390 Adventure Enduro) appears smaller than the standard bike. It is visually identifiable with its sharp styling with minimalistic cues: beak-like front fender, sculpted fuel tank with sharp tank extensions, single-piece seat, and slim tail section. The headlamp is also a single-piece unit, while the mid-set footpegs put you in an upright riding position. The test mule is also equipped with an underbelly exhaust and a saree guard.
The instrument console, which is not visible in the spy images, will likely be an LCD unit with Bluetooth connectivity but without turn-by-turn directions. Other expected bits include a bi-directional quick-shifter, traction control, ABS, and ride modes.

KTM 390 Adventure Enduro: Engine, Output
The 390 Adventure Enduro is expected to feature a 399cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that also sees duty in the existing KTM 390 Duke. Mated to a six-speed gearbox, the engine makes 45bhp and 39Nm of peak torque in the 390 Duke. This engine could get a slightly different state-of-tune in the Enduro to suit its characteristics.

For suspension, the Enduro seems to have an adjustable upside-down front fork and an offset rear monoshock, while the braking hardware should consist of a single disc on either end, accompanied by switchable ABS. As for its wheels, the Enduro will most likely come with 21-inch front and 18-inch rear spoked units with Reise trailR tyres.

There is a possibility that the new KTM 390 Adventure might make its global debut at this year's EICMA in November, followed by its launch in India by late 2024 or early 2025. Upon launch in India, the flagship ADV will compete against the Royal Enfield Himalayan, the BMW G 310 GS, and the Yezdi Adventure.
