This variant retains the 398.63cc, 46 PS liquid-cooled engine, mated to a 6-speed gearbox. It’s designed for versatility, comfort, and performance — now with tech that matches its spirit.
KTM 390 Adventure Enduro R: The Real Off-Road Weapon
Then there’s the 390 Adventure Enduro R — a no-compromise, Dakar-inspired machine for the purist.
Imported in its global-spec trim, it boasts:

- Minimal TFT dashboard, quickshifter, ride-by-wire throttle, and off-road ABS
With 277mm ground clearance and a dry weight of just 159 kg, it’s built to take a beating and keep going — perfect for trail junkies.
