KTM Brings Global-Spec 390 Adventure R to India

• International-spec KTM 390 Adventure R to be offered in India, rally-inspired design and long-travel suspension underline its off-road intent.
• Global-spec performance now available to Indian riders at ₹ 3,77,915 (ex-showroom Delhi)

Pune, 28 January 2026 - KTM, the world’s No. 1 premium motorcycle brand, today announced the arrival of the international-spec KTM 390 Adventure R, priced at ₹ 3,77,915 (ex-showroom, Delhi), bringing uncompromised global hardware and rally-inspired capability to Indian adventure motorcycling enthusiasts.

Designed to be the most off-road capable middleweight adventure motorcycle in its segment, the KTM 390 Adventure R is a bold new addition to the KTM R stable. With a powerful 399 cc engine, long-travel adjustable suspension, and a true rally wheel setup, the 390 Adventure R rewrites expectations of what a sub-400 cc adventure motorcycle can achieve.

Full Confidence Everywhere - On-Road and Beyond

While built to dominate dirt tracks, the KTM 390 Adventure R also delivers exceptional on-road confidence. A low center of gravity, nimble handling characteristics, and a 21-inch front wheel allow the motorcycle to carve confidently across varying road surfaces. Advanced electronics including Cornering Motorcycle Traction Control (MTC), Cornering ABS, and Offroad ABS ensure riders can brake harder, apply power earlier mid-corner, and maintain control with total confidence on tarmac.

Dominate the Dirt

When the road ends, the KTM 390 Adventure R comes into its element. With OFFROAD Ride Mode, riders can switch to a setting that allows controlled rear-wheel slip for loose terrain such as sand, gravel, and mud. OFF ROAD ABS enables rear-wheel lock-up for precise corner entry, while the system retains settings even after engine stall or shutdown, ensuring the rider is always ready to continue the adventure without interruption.

A 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheel combination, paired with 230 mm of fully adjustable WP suspension, delivers outstanding obstacle clearance, stability, and feedback on demanding trails.

Rider-Focused Ergonomics and All-Round Comfort

Built with serious adventure riding in mind, the KTM 390 Adventure R places the rider at the center of the experience. From its rally-style windscreen to off-road-focused footpegs, the motorcycle is designed to offer all-day comfort, supreme off-road agility, and unmatched rider involvement. The upright stance and commanding ergonomics make it equally capable of long-distance touring and technical off-road riding.

Smart Rider Technology

The KTM 390 Adventure R features a state-of-the-art 5-inch full-color TFT display, offering excellent visibility in all lighting conditions and a layout designed for quick information access. Riders can customize on-screen data via the multi-functional handlebar switch, while a USB Type-C port comes fitted as standard for charging devices on the go.

With KTMconnect, the motorcycle seamlessly connects to the rider’s smartphone, enabling phone calls, music playback, and optional turn-by-turn navigation directly through the TFT display, ensuring riders stay connected even on the most remote adventures.

Speaking on the announcement, Manik Nangia, President, Probiking, Bajaj Auto Ltd. said, “The KTM 390 Adventure R represents the purest expression of KTM’s rally and off-road DNA in the middleweight adventure segment. By bringing the international-spec model to India, we are offering adventure enthusiasts a machine that delivers confidence everywhere - on the road, off the road, and beyond.”
