Jul 8, 2021 · The 390 Adventure I was given to test was equipped with Akrapovic muffler, Quickshifter+, Powerparts seat and Continental TCK 70, which are among my favourite tires. Rear suspension preload wasn’t adjustable, but rebound was, as on the front fork.

Oct 27, 2024 · Here’s what’s coming, according to the images: KTM 390 Adventure R. This appears to be the premiere model here, with 21-18 spoked wheelset, a relatively high 885 mm saddle (34.8 inches), a TFT dash, cornering-sensitive ABS and traction control and 230 mm of suspension travel (9 inches) fore and aft, from fully-adjustable fork and shock.

KTM says the motor makes about 43 horsepower, which is about what my 650cc dual-sport makes as well. The big difference is in the torque output, which my 650 thumper lords over the 390.

Jan 22, 2025 · The engine is the same LC4c single that KTM recently updated for use in its Duke and RC390 lineup, as well as the just-announced KTM 390 SMC R supermoto. That means you should expect 45 horsepower at 8,500 rpm and 28 pound-feet of torque at 6,500 rpm, unless KTM re-tuned it. The six-speed gearbox should come with a pay-to-play quickshifter.

Nov 12, 2024 · KTM has provided some specs for the WP Apex suspension. It offers 230 mm (9.1 inches) of travel.

Nov 7, 2024 · An Enduro R joins the 390 lineup, complimenting its larger 690 sibling. It appears to have a similar 21/18 wheel setup as the Adventure R, as well as the new frame design and swingarm.
