The selectable ride modes that exist on the KTM 390 Adventures include streets, rains and off-roads. The more powerful model, however, adds the cornering MTC (motorcycle traction control) measuring the movement signals on the 3D inertial measurement unit (IMU) data for various cornering maneuvers.
Rally-style LED lights introduced across the 2025 line of machines are yet another good addition. As in the new KTM’s latest 5-inch TFT dashboards, redesigned switchgear replaces the old ones. The entire Adventure line will have dual-channel ABS and 320mm rotors up front and 240mm rotors in the rear. Also included are selectable offroad ABS modes.
On the KTM 390 Adventure, WP APEX 43mm open cartridge USD forks with 200mm travel will be the mode of operation, with the added benefit that fork preload may be configured to the preference of rider when he is out riding. The forks are fully adjustable for compression and rebound in 30-click steps. Paired with that, the WP APEX Separate piston shock in the rear offers 205 mm of travel. The rebound has 20 positions, while the preload can be adjusted by 10 steps using a traditional tool.
Three Ride Modes Are Available On The KTM 390 Adventure
The latest-gen 2-part steel trellis frame architecture is a third-generation-based platform also shared by Duke, Enduro R models featuring the same steering head angle, triple clamp, subframe mount, and slightly different rigidity profile. The 390 Adventure is biased towards off-road and has tubeless tires on 21-inch (front) and 17 inch (rear) wheels.
What Makes The 390 Adventure X Different?
Built for primarily road-oriented adventures with occasional off-road use, the KTM 390 Adventure X is fitted with 19″ (front)/17″ (rear) cast wheels and tubeless tires.

What’s New In The 390 Adventure
According to the sources, one of the major improvements that can be expected by the company in its adventure bike, the 390 Adventure, would be that they are upgrading the production of the LC4C 399cc engine. This engine would offer a maximum power of around 46 Ps and 39 Nm of torque. Moreover, KTM has been able to upgrade the power-to-weight ratio, and hence this bike would be a better performer off-road.
