Adventure bikes are a rarity in India. Currently, the most known one is the Royal Enfield Himalayan. In the list of the upcoming bikes, KTM 390 Adventure is also there which is scheduled to launch next year. It gets pure dirt bike design cues. Read on to know about the expected launch, price and more of this bike.
KTM 390 Adventure could add one more bike to the handful range of adventure bikes in India. At the launch of KTM RC 390 and the superbike RC 200, KTM had confirmed about India bound 390 Adventure. It gets an altogether new design and platform, which is not seen in India. However, it will take some elements from 1190. It was last spied in December 2016 with heavy camouflage. After that, there is no further update on the bike. It will get a 373cc engine that produces 41 BHP worth of power and 37 Nm worth of torque. This will become KTM’s entry-level ADV and will get competition from Royal Enfield Himalayan and the upcoming Hero Xpulse. These three are the only ADVs scheduled to come to India, which cost less than Rs 5 Lakhs. Get to know about the expected launch date, price, specs and features of this bike.
