KTM 390 To Get 4 Variations: Details Here
KTM is gearing up to release four versions of the 2025 KTM 390 Adventure. In addition to the standard adventure and enduro models, there will be a touring variant and an entry-level X version. However, its unlikely that all four will be launched simultaneously. Initially, KTM plans to introduce the adventure and touring models. Theres a possibility that the 390 Adventure X variant might also be available at launch to directly rival the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 which is priced at Rs. 2.85 lakh (ex-showroom). The X variant could help KTM compete closely with this pricing. The 390 Adventure Enduro variant is expected to debut later in 2025, the one that was spied on in the past.
The 2025 KTM 390 Adventure lineup will feature distinct differences across its variants and the pricing will be put up accordingly. The entry-level 390 Adventure X is expected to have a more basic suspension setup and might lack some of the advanced electronics found in the premium models. The touring variant will likely come with 19/17-inch alloy wheels and a non-adjustable suspension, making it ideal for long-distance travel. On the other hand, the adventure and enduro versions will be equipped with 21/18-inch wire-spoke wheels and adjustable suspension to enhance off-road performance as per the available information.

Verdict
The upcoming KTM 390 ADV is among the most eagerly awaited releases of the year. While it may not be regarded as the pinnacle of off-roaders right now, the revamped model is set to enhance the existing design and technology, offering a more comfortable riding experience. The Himalayan in its direct sight, might feel the heat as and when it arrives.
