KTM India has just dropped a teaser of the upcoming 390 Enduro R, setting the stage for its launch. If you’re a fan of off-road machines, this one should definitely be on your radar. Based on the new 390 Adventure, the 390 Enduro R takes a more rugged, trail-ready approach with a design and features that scream dirt-focused fun.
Let’s break it down.
Design
The 390 Enduro R draws inspiration from KTM’s larger Enduro models. It sports a sharp yet stripped-down design that serves a clear purpose—ditch the extra bulk and keep things lean. This translates to reduced body panels and a serious cut in kerb weight compared to the 390 Adventure. The result? A more nimble machine that tips the scales at around 168kg.
That makes a huge difference when you’re tackling rough terrain. Lightweight means better control, quicker responses, and less fatigue when the trail gets tough.
Specs
The numbers here are exciting, especially for off-road junkies. The 390 Enduro R comes equipped with 230mm of suspension travel and a ground clearance of 260mm. That’s serious off-road capability. Whether you’re hopping rocks or flying over dunes, this bike is built to handle it.
Adding to the capability is a proper 21-inch front and 18-inch rear spoke wheel setup—ideal for digging into trails and maintaining grip on uneven surfaces.
Here’s a quick look at some key figures:
| Specification | Details |
|---|---|
| Engine | 399cc, liquid-cooled |
| Power | 45.3 bhp |
| Torque | 39 Nm |
| Weight | 168 kg (kerb) |
| Suspension Travel | 230 mm |
| Ground Clearance | 260 mm |
| Wheels | 21″ Front / 18″ Rear |
Features
Just because it’s built for off-roading doesn’t mean KTM has skimped on tech. The 390 Enduro R gets a 4.1-inch colour TFT display. And yes, it’s loaded with features—Bluetooth connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, music controls, and more through KTM’s smartphone app.
So whether you’re following a trail or a playlist, you’re covered.
Performance
At its heart lies the new LC4c engine, a 399cc liquid-cooled powerhouse that churns out 45.3 bhp and 39 Nm of torque. That’s plenty for both trails and highway stretches. Paired with a six-speed gearbox, the power delivery is smooth and strong, giving riders enough grunt to climb hills or cruise comfortably.
This engine is the same as in the 2024 KTM 390 Duke, which means KTM is now extending this motor across platforms with slight tweaks based on purpose.
Pricing
Now comes the interesting bit—price. KTM is expected to launch the 390 Enduro R between ₹3.3 lakh and ₹3.4 lakh (ex-showroom). That puts it slightly below the more road-biased 390 Adventure and makes it one of the most affordable hardcore dual-sport bikes in its class.
KTM’s decision to price the bike aggressively could really stir things up in the mid-size off-road segment in India.
KTM has clearly built the 390 Enduro R for those who live for adventure beyond paved roads. It’s light, powerful, feature-rich, and more affordable than expected. With excellent off-road hardware and KTM’s proven performance DNA, the Enduro R looks set to become the go-to machine for India’s growing tribe of trail lovers. All signs point to an exciting launch just around the corner—so stay tuned.
