The upcoming 2025 KTM 390 Adventure has been spotted testing again, along with the off-road-focused 390 Enduro, which will probably be called the KTM 390 Adventure R. Both bikes feature a very robust design.
The KTM 390 Adventure observed features a rally design, and we’ve already seen it on the test model previously observed. It has a vertical double projector headlight with LED daytime running lights, similar to the KTM 390 Duke. It has long, wide handlebars that can also be used to support side bags. The bike pictured has a TFT console that offers smartphone connectivity and navigation. The bike was identified with a contoured one-piece seat and was equipped with Metzeler Tourance dual-sport tires.
We also got a clear look at the KTM 390 Adventure R, which features a sleek fairing and a design typical of an off-road bike. In the photos, we can see that the Enduro bike has a smaller headlight, raised handlebars, a flat and long one-piece seat without handle bars, and mid-footrests, all combined to offer an upright riding position. We couldn’t get a clear view of the instrument panel, but it’s likely to have a minimalist LCD panel, so you can concentrate on tackling the trails. The Enduro test bike had different indicators to the 390 Adventure.
The 390 Adventure R was equipped with a long-travel WP inverted fork and an adjustable shock absorber. The test bike was equipped with 21-inch front and 18-inch rear spoked wheels with Reise Trail-R tires.
Both bikes feature slender rear sections with a stylish LED taillight. However, it is surprising to see the underbelly exhaust on both bikes, which may restrict their off-road and water navigation capabilities. That said, we believe that KTM is using the underbelly exhaust only on the test bike and that the production bike will have a side-mounted exhaust. Both bikes will have the 390 Duke’s 399 cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine, which produces 45 HP and 39 Nm, but the engine is expected to be tuned differently to suit the nature of the bike.
Both bikes are expected to be presented at EICMA 2024, with the launch likely to take place in late 2024 or early 2025
