KTM 390 Adventure (2020)

Little adventurer from Austria for 6,195 euros

EICMA 2019

In 2020, KTM is also expanding the 390 series to include an adventure version. We have been expecting it for a long time, now KTM is showing the 390 Adventure at the Eicma.

It was obvious that KTM would launch a small adventure bike based on the 390 models. The market is literally crying out for an orange competitor from the BMW G 310 GS or the Kawasaki Versys-X 300 – an A2-compatible touring motorcycle. Much more adult now rolls KTM 390 Adventure on the market and seems to be consciously oriented towards the big sisters of the off-road great power.

The small 390 Adventure is clearly close to its big sisters.

Power from the Duke

The popular 373 cm³ single cylinder of the 390 Duke will also be used unchanged in the Adventure: 44 HP at 9000 revolutions per minute and 37 Newton meters at 7000 push it. The small power package from the street version will also want to score points off-road in the future.

At first glance, it looks sporty.

390 becomes off-road

Of course, the light road hopper has to gain a little more weight – due to the off-road features – and has a dry weight of 158 kilos, while the Duke scores here with a slim 149. If the 14.5 liter tank (plus 1.5 reserve) is full, the 390 Adventure weighs 172 kilos ready to drive. The seat height climbs to 855 mm all-terrain and 200 mm ground clearance must be sufficient for the little adventures.

At the front, the 390 Adventure comes with the 43mm WP-XPLOR fork, adjustable in rebound and compression, and 170 mm travel. At the rear, the WP-XPLOR shock absorber, adjustable in rebound and spring preload, with 177 mm of travel. 19-inch rims are used at the front and 17-inch rims at the rear, with Continental TKC 70 tires. In striking black, the steel frame is complemented by the dark, voluminous cladding and a large underbody protection, while the pointed light mask dominates its appearance at the front.

Data and costs

The KTM 390 Adventure comes as standard with a Bosch 9.1 MP Two Channel ABS that can be switched off and traction control. The base price is specified as 6.195 euros.
