NEW DELHI, April 12 KTM has officially launched its first enduro motorcycle in India, the KTM 390 Enduro R, priced at ₹3.36 lakh (ex-showroom). This new offering is aimed at hardcore off-road enthusiasts, building on the platform of the next-generation KTM 390 Adventure, but with a sharper off-road focus, stripped-down design, and advanced suspension setup.
KTM 390 Enduro R: Engine & Performance
Under the hood, the 390 Enduro R packs the familiar yet potent 399 cc LC4c single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine:
-
Power: 45.3 bhp
-
Torque: 39 Nm
-
Transmission: 6-speed gearbox
-
Cooling: Liquid-cooled
This is the same engine used in the 390 Adventure, tuned for spirited performance in tough terrains.
Suspension, Brakes & Wheels: Built for Serious Off-Roading
The India-spec version is slightly more accessible and tuned for local terrain:
-
Front Suspension: 43 mm USD forks, 205 mm travel
-
Rear Suspension: Monoshock, 200 mm travel
-
Brakes: 285 mm front disc, 240 mm rear disc
-
Tyres: 21-inch front & 18-inch rear spoke wheels, wrapped in Mitas Trail+ dual-purpose tyres
-
Ground Clearance: 253 mm
-
Seat Height: 860 mm (lower than global spec’s 890 mm)
Braking and control are enhanced with switchable dual-channel ABS and traction control, crucial for off-road environments.
Design & Features: Minimalist, Lightweight, Tech-Packed
Drawing inspiration from KTM’s larger enduro machines, the 390 Enduro R boasts:
-
Minimal bodywork, high front beak, and flat single-piece seat
-
Compact headlamp and reduced body panels for weight savings
-
Kerb weight: Just 177 kg, 5 kg lighter than the global version
-
4.1-inch TFT screen with Bluetooth connectivity, offering:
-
Turn-by-turn navigation
-
Music controls
-
Call alerts
-
The bike includes two riding modes but skips cruise control, which is reserved for the more road-focused 390 Adventure and Duke models.
Positioning & Rivals
The KTM 390 Enduro R will be slotted between the 390 Adventure X and 390 Adventure S in KTM’s lineup. While it doesn’t have a direct rival in India yet, it will likely appeal to buyers considering the Kawasaki KLX230, priced in a similar bracket, and enthusiasts seeking an affordable, lightweight, high-performance off-roader.
