2025 KTM 390 Adventure Launched!
The new 390 Adventure is available in two different variants; the standard 390 Adventure is the more off-road friendly variant, and its prices begin from Rs 3.67 lakh onwards (ex-showroom). The 390 Adventure X is the road-biased, touring-friendly variant which can be had from Rs 2.91 lakh (ex-showroom).
In terms of design, both variants of the 390 Adventure follow the bigger capacity ADVs from KTM's global lineup, with the standard 390 Adventure bearing closer resemblance to the 890 Adventure. The standard 390 Adventure gets a 21-inch front and a 17-inch rear wheel setup with spoke rims, which also obviously results in a taller stance and a seat height of 830mm. Interestingly, the spoke rims are tubeless right from the beginning.
The road-biased 390 Adventure X gets a smaller 19-inch front and a 17-inch rear wheel setup with alloy rims. It also gets a smaller 825mm seat height which will be be more practical for daily purposes and for shorter riders.
The 399cc, liquid-cooled LC4c single-cylinder powertrain with ride-by-wire throttle. Here this powertrain produces 45.3bhp at 8500rpm and 39Nm of torque at 6500rpm, while paired to a 6-speed gearbox with a bi-directional quickshifter. It now also gets a smaller cylinder head, a new airbox and new fuel injectors.
Built on a split trellis frame, the 2025 KTM 390 Adventure makes use of long-travel WP Apex suspension, but with certain differences. The standard 390 Adventure gets 43mm WP Apex USD open-cartridge forks with 200mm of travel and 30-click fully-adjustable compression and rebound damping. The rear makes use of a WP Apex monoshock with 205mm of travel, 20-click rebound damping and 10-click preload adjustability.

2025 KTM 250 Adventure Launched
The new 250 Adventure comes in at a price tag of Rs 2.67 lakh (ex-showroom). It shares its platform with its bigger sibling, and as such it is built on a split-trellis frame. The powertrain has been lifted off of the 250 Duke; a 249cc, liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine, producing 30.5bhp at 9250rpm and 25Nm of torque at 7250rpm. Paired to a 6-speed gearbox, the 250 Adventure can also be equipped with a bi-directional quickshifter optionally.
In terms of design, it is in line with the newer-generation 390 Adventure, with similar body panels. Unlike its bigger sibling, the new 250 Adventure is likely to be available in a road-biased variant only, with a 19-inch front and a 17-inch rear wheel setup with tubeless alloy rims.

The hardware is also identical to the new 390 Adventure X, featuring a 43mm WP Apex USD forks with 200mm of travel, and a 10-step pre-load WP Apex monoshock with 205mm of travel. In terms of braking, the 250 Adventure deploys a 320mm disc with radially-mounted callipers at the front, along with a 240mm disc with a floating calliper at the rear.
The new 250 Adventure also gets the familiar 5-inch TFT screen with smartphone connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, call/SMS alerts, music streaming, ride-by-wire, off-road ABS, off-road riding mode, adjustable footpegs, and a USB type-C port among other things.
Verdict
With the new Adventure lineup finally launched, KTM India finally has a range of new-generation adventure motorcycles in the mass-market segment that should be very capable regardless of where you take them. The 390 Adventure should pose as a worthy threat to the the Royal Enfield Himalayan and the Yezdi Adventure, while the 250 Adventure should do the same against the Suzuki V-Strom 250 SX.
