KTM has officially launched the 390 Enduro R in India, priced at Rs. 3,36,500 (ex-showroom). That puts it around Rs. 30,000 cheaper than the 390 Adventure, making it a more accessible option for those with a thirst for off-road exploration. But there’s more to it than just the price tag — KTM has packaged this India-spec Enduro to offer just the right mix of trail-ready performance and practicality.
Price
With its launch, the KTM 390 Enduro R undercuts the 390 Adventure by Rs. 30,000. That’s significant, especially considering the kind of focused riding this bike is built for. While the ADV is more road-biased with some off-road capability, the Enduro R flips that equation with a more dirt-hungry setup.
Suspension
Now, let’s talk about one of the key aspects — the suspension. Unlike the international version that boasts 230mm travel front and back, the India-spec model shares its suspension with the 390 Adventure. That means 200mm of travel at the front and 205mm at the rear. It uses fully adjustable WP Apex upside-down forks and a preload and rebound adjustable WP monoshock at the rear.
The good news? KTM has confirmed that the longer-travel, global-spec model will be launched in India soon. So if you’re looking for serious suspension articulation for tougher terrains, there’s something even more hardcore on the way.
Build
Minimalism is the design philosophy here. The 390 Enduro R comes with small, functional body panels that shave off about 6kg compared to the 390 Adventure. However, Indian regulations mean we still get homologation add-ons like a saree guard and crash protection, which push the kerb weight up to 177kg. That’s still manageable, especially considering what the bike is meant to do.
Wheels
The Enduro R rides on 21-inch front and 18-inch rear spoke wheels, just what you’d expect from a proper off-road setup. Wrapped around these are Mitas Enduro Trail tyres, which offer better bite in dirt compared to standard dual-purpose rubber. The wheels are tube-type, which may be less convenient for puncture repair but offer more flexibility and durability in rough terrain.
Features
Despite its focus on simplicity, the Enduro R doesn’t skimp on useful tech. It gets full-LED lighting all around and a 4.2-inch TFT screen that’s clean, bright, and packed with features like Bluetooth connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, music controls, and call alerts.
There are also two riding modes — Street and Off-road — with the latter offering more aggressive throttle mapping, traction control adjustment, and switchable ABS on both wheels. That last bit is especially helpful for sliding around on loose surfaces without worrying about electronic intervention.
Dimensions
With a seat height of 860mm, the bike might sound tall, but the narrow seat and overall slim mid-section make it easier to manage than it seems. The ground clearance stands at a tall 253mm, offering peace of mind over rocks, ruts, and roots.

Performance
Powering the Enduro R is KTM’s reliable 399cc, single-cylinder engine which makes 45.3bhp and 39Nm. It’s paired with a larger 48-tooth rear sprocket, giving it better low-end grunt — ideal for slow-speed climbs or navigating tricky trails.
Braking is handled by disc brakes at both ends with switchable ABS, giving you more control in off-road conditions. Add to that traction control, and the bike is ready for everything from tight forest trails to open desert rides.
The KTM 390 Enduro R is clearly meant for riders who want more dirt and less drama. It’s focused, fun, and capable right out of the box. With the upcoming launch of the higher-spec version, KTM is making it clear — serious off-roaders now have proper choices in the sub-400cc segment.
