From a press release issued by KTM :An entirely new lineup of KTM 390 ADVENTURE models will be launched in 2025, with the highly coveted ‘R’ badge debuting in KTM 390 ADVENTURE guise.
Designed to deliver, the KTM 390 ADVENTURE models provide riders with a thrilling and versatile riding experience. ADVENTURE signifies long-distance ability across various terrains – from city streets to off-road trails.

Thanks partly to an updated LC4c powerplant that provides smooth and uninhibited power, adventure-ready suspension, and wheel and tire packages ready to tackle any terrain – the 2025 KTM 390 ADVENTURE models are set to break new boundaries.

The R and X, the 2025 390 Adventure is separated by more street or off-road focus and represents a move forward from the outgoing 390 Adventure which, interestingly, was more expensive.

The R has 30mm more suspension travel, adjustable WP Apex forks and shocks front and rear. The seat height of the R is also 45mm taller seat height (870mm versus 825mm), and so are the wheels – the R boast 21/18 wheel sizes versus 19/17 on the X. Naturally because of larger wheels the R has a slightly longer wheelbase.

The handle bars on the Adventure R is aluminium whist it is steel on the Adventure X.

Summary of key features:
- New LC4c engine generation
- New rally looks, front fairing and seat design
- New two-piece steel trellis frame and subframe adapted for adventure and off-road riding
- Longer travel, adjustable suspension and 21/18-inch steel spoked wheels on R model
- New airbox design allows the engine to sit higher, increasing ground clearance and a more off-road focused rider triangle
- Redesigned gearbox for improved shift feel
- New power-assist slipper clutch makes clutch control easier (optional Quickshifter+ system also available)
- New 4-way instrument controls
- Ride-by-wire throttle with 3 ride modes
- 10,000km service intervals
- 5“ TFT Dashboard (LCD on the X model)
