Introduction: Farewell X, Hello X Plus
The KTM 390 Adventure X was a wallet-friendly icon in the world of mid-weight adventure touring. But now, that chapter is officially closing. Don’t be disheartened, though — KTM has stopped bookings for the Adventure X variant across the country to make way for a new player: the 390 Adventure X Plus. And trust us, this is more than just a minor update — it’s a tech-laden upgrade poised to revolutionize the segment.
Smarter Tech, Better Control
The biggest news? The X Plus borrows its brain from the standard 390 Adventure, packing an IMU-based electronic package. That means you now get Cornering ABS and Cornering Traction Control, both switchable — a rarity in this segment and a game-changer for serious riders.
Cruise Control also makes its way in, a feature previously reserved for KTM’s more premium offerings. Whether you’re on the highway or exploring unknown backroads, the X Plus gives you more freedom with less fatigue.
Ride Modes for Every Terrain
The 390 Adventure X Plus doesn’t just ride smart — it rides adaptively. It features three ride modes — Street, Rain, and Off-Road — giving the rider control and confidence no matter the conditions. While the suspension setup remains non-adjustable, KTM’s existing chassis-suspension synergy offers a solid balance between road comfort and off-road durability.

Conclusion: A Plus-Sized Step Forward
KTM has listened to its riders. The 390 Adventure X Plus is not just a mild refresh — it’s a response to what Indian ADV riders have been asking for: more tech, more control, more value.
At an estimated ₹15,000–₹20,000 premium, the X Plus slots perfectly between the stripped-down X and the fully-loaded standard Adventure 390. With launch expected in just a few weeks, it’s safe to say KTM is ready to redefine value in the ADV space again.
Buckle up, because the X Plus is about to hit the road running.
