KTM is gearing up to launch another exciting motorcycle in India—the all-new 390 Enduro R. Hot on the heels of the recently introduced 390 Adventure, this new model is expected to land around mid-April. What sets it apart? For starters, it’s going to be more off-road focused and, interestingly, more accessible when it comes to price.
For those who love looking into beyond the tarmac, the 390 Enduro R looks like a purpose-built machine, blending KTM’s racing DNA with adventure-ready hardware.
Launch
The 390 Enduro R is KTM’s answer to off-road enthusiasts looking for a lighter, more trail-friendly alternative to the 390 Adventure. While the ADV is more road-biased with off-road capabilities, the Enduro R takes it one step further into the dirt. Its expected launch in mid-April will officially expand KTM’s portfolio in India for riders who crave true dual-sport functionality.
Hardware
The bike’s design clearly says one thing—ready for rough stuff. The suspension travel is a massive 230mm, and ground clearance stands at 260mm, giving it serious off-road credibility. Whether you’re hopping over rocks or slogging through sand, this setup ensures the 390 Enduro R won’t blink.
It also features a 21-inch front and 18-inch rear spoke-wheel combination. These wheels are wrapped in 90/90-21 front and 140/80-18 rear tyres, offering the grip and strength needed for unpredictable terrain.
This isn’t just an aesthetic off-roader—it’s built to perform in the wild.
Engine
Powering the 390 Enduro R is KTM’s new-gen LC4c engine—a 399cc, liquid-cooled motor that puts out 45.3bhp and 39Nm of torque. That’s plenty for the trails, and when paired with a six-speed gearbox, it’s well-suited for both technical climbs and open dirt tracks.
The engine is the same unit that powers the 390 Adventure, but the Enduro R’s lighter and more agile setup should make it feel more alive in off-road scenarios.
Features
KTM hasn’t skipped the tech. The Enduro R gets a crisp 4.1-inch colour TFT screen, offering Bluetooth connectivity, music control, and even turn-by-turn navigation. While off-road bikes usually go minimal, KTM has found a good balance here—keeping it functional without making it too flashy.
So, whether you’re riding through a forest trail or just heading out for the weekend, you’ll stay connected and informed without distraction.
Niche
The 390 Enduro R isn’t going to be a volume bike for KTM. It’s a niche product—one that caters to a very specific kind of rider. It’s for those who want the thrills of enduro riding without going all the way into expensive imports or custom builds.
If the pricing is right, and all signs point to it being more affordable than the 390 Adventure, KTM could end up creating a new space in India’s off-road motorcycling scene. It’s not just another variant; it’s a whole different flavour of riding.
