KTM has officially launched the much-anticipated 390 Enduro R in India, priced at Rs. 3,36,500 (ex-showroom). That makes it Rs. 30,000 more affordable than its sibling, the 390 Adventure. Designed for off-road enthusiasts, this new model brings a more rugged approach to KTM’s 390 lineup while still staying accessible for Indian buyers.
Suspension
Unlike the international version, the India-spec 390 Enduro R comes with the same suspension setup as the 390 Adventure. That means it offers 200mm of travel at the front and 205mm at the rear. It uses fully adjustable WP Apex suspension, with upside-down forks at the front and a monoshock at the rear, both featuring preload and rebound adjustment.
KTM has confirmed that the globally-specced model with 230mm suspension travel will be launched in India at a later date, likely catering to hardcore off-roaders.
| Suspension Specs | Front | Rear |
|---|---|---|
| Suspension Type | WP Apex USD | WP Monoshock |
| Travel | 200mm | 205mm |
| Adjustability | Preload + Rebound (Both Ends) |
Weight
In terms of bodywork, KTM has gone minimal. The Enduro R gets fewer body panels than the Adventure, resulting in a lighter and more agile machine. Despite that, the India-spec version tips the scales at 177kg kerb, which is about 6kg less than the Adventure.
The additional weight compared to the international model is mainly due to Indian homologation requirements like a saree guard and engine crash bars, both of which are mandatory for street-legal motorcycles here.
Tyres and Wheels
The Enduro R rides on spoke wheels with a 21-inch front and 18-inch rear setup—perfect for rough terrain. These are tube-type wheels wrapped in Mitas Enduro Trail tyres, which offer solid grip in both off-road and dual-purpose conditions.
Braking duties are handled by disc brakes at both ends, with switchable dual-channel ABS. Riders can even turn ABS off for both wheels when heading off-road, giving full braking control in tricky conditions.
Engine
Under the tank, the Enduro R uses the same 399cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder motor that powers the rest of the 390 range. It produces 45.3 bhp and 39 Nm of torque. But there’s a twist—this bike comes with a larger 48-tooth rear sprocket, which enhances low-end torque, making it better suited for trail riding and slow-speed technical sections.
| Engine Details | Specification |
|---|---|
| Displacement | 399cc |
| Type | Liquid-cooled, single |
| Power Output | 45.3 bhp |
| Peak Torque | 39 Nm |
| Gearbox | 6-speed manual |
| Rear Sprocket | 48-tooth |
Features
KTM hasn’t held back on features either. The 390 Enduro R gets a 4.2-inch full-colour TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity. Riders can access music controls, turn-by-turn navigation, and call alerts. The motorcycle also gets full-LED lighting, two riding modes, and traction control.
In terms of dimensions, the bike offers a seat height of 860mm and ground clearance of 253mm, which is solid for off-road use but might be a bit tall for shorter riders.
Value
At Rs. 3.36 lakh, the Enduro R is not only more affordable than the 390 Adventure, but it’s also better tuned for off-road fun. With its spoke wheels, higher clearance, and minimal bodywork, it’s an exciting option for adventure seekers looking for a capable yet affordable entry point into the off-road world.
