KTM Launches 390 Adventure R in India at Rs 3.78 Lakh, Cheaper Than Standard Model

Cost savings from tube‑type spoked wheels help the off‑road‑focused variant undercut the tubeless‑rim version despite its upgraded suspension.

Overview

  • KTM India has listed the 390 Adventure R at Rs 3.78 lakh ex‑showroom (Delhi) with refundable bookings open online and at dealers.
  • Positioned as the most off‑road‑biased 390, it gets 230 mm suspension travel at both ends and 21‑inch front/18‑inch rear spoked wheels with tubed Mitas tyres.
  • Hardware changes yield 272 mm of ground clearance and a tall seat height quoted at up to 880 mm, emphasizing serious trail capability.
  • The model shares the 399 cc single making about 46 hp and 39 Nm with the family and retains features such as a 5‑inch TFT, cornering ABS/traction control, OFFROAD mode and a bi‑directional quickshifter.
  • Priced roughly Rs 19,000 below the standard 390 Adventure, the R expands a three‑model lineup (Adventure X, Adventure, Adventure R) and media attribute the lower tag to its tube‑type wheel setup rather than pricier tubeless‑capable spoked rims.
