Last EICMA 2024, KTM unveiled its new 2025 390 Adventure R, a completely reconfigured motorcycle with clear Offroad aspirations. This comes equipped with everything necessary to face any off-road route, highlighting its EURO 5+ single-cylinder engine.
Likewise, we find a cycle part commanded by a team of long-travel suspensions, disc brakes on both axles and tires aimed at driving on mud. In addition, it has ample ground clearance and a level of equipment in line with what is expected from a mount of this type.
Rivals of the KTM 390 Adventure R 2025
The market niche where the 390 Adventure R is included has some really interesting options:
Engine of the KTM 390 Adventure R 2025
In the mechanical section we find the engine that was recently released by its range sister, the new generation 390 Duke. The single-cylinder LC4 now manages to reach the 399cc thanks to increasing the stroke by 4 mm. Not only is it lighter and more powerful than the previous generation, but it also provides regulatory compatibility EURO 5+ becoming a very attractive option for the current A2 license.
KTM declares a power of just over 44 HP and a maximum torque of 39 Nm, all transferred to the rear wheel through a six-speed gearbox equipped with a mechanically operated PASC slipper clutch. Additionally, the 2025 390 Adventure R is expected to have three driving modes: Street, Rain and Offroad.
Cycle part of the KTM 390 Adventure R 2025
One of the most significant aspects that the KTM 390 Adventure R 2025 will present will be its cycle part fully adapted to the new tasks entrusted to the model. To achieve this, the Austrian brand makes use of a new 2-piece chassis design – composed of a completely new multi-tubular steel main chassis and a die-cast aluminum subframe – improving dynamic behavior by increasing torsional rigidity.
A team of Fully adjustable WP Xplor Pro suspension with 230 mm of travel on both axles. Braking is made up of two discs, one per axle, 320 mm and 240 mm, actuated by a 4-piston radial caliper at the front, while at the rear the brand uses a single-piston caliper.
The equipment is anchored to a set of 21 and 18 inch radial type wheels, front and rear respectively. These will be shod with Offroad cut tires. To highlight, among the main dimensions that we already know about the new KTM 390 Adventure R 2025, both its seat height, 885 mm, and the ground clearance in its lowest part, 260 mm.
Equipment and finishes of the KTM 390 Adventure R 2025
Among the standard equipment that the new 390 Adventure R will offer, the arrival of an element never seen before in the category stands out without a doubt, cruise control. It is not clear if KTM will offer this technology as standard, or it will become one of the options presented by the KTM 390 Adventure R ahead of its official launch.
Other notable components in this section are, for example, a 5-inch H50 TFT screen, the different driving modes already mentioned or an ABS system with the possibility of being disconnected during Offroad driving. Bluetooth connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation or control of calls and music from the frame are also expected to be part of the model’s standard equipment.
Colors of the KTM 390 Adventure R 2025
For now we do not know what the color schemes will be with which we can configure the new 390 Adventure R 2025. Without a doubt the orange color will be present in some of them, and even in any of the options offered by the Austrian brand, even if only in the form of details.
