KTM recently unveiled the 2025 390 Adventure R, updating it for adventure sports riders. The motorcycle benefits from a new 373 cc single-cylinder engine, which provides more power and torque and great off-road performance.  Electronics for ride modes and traction control have been added, along with a TFT display for further connectivity.

It will be on display at EICMA 2024. These images reveal the highly awaited adventure bike, the 390 Adventure R. It is the flagship model for the new generation of the KTM 390 Adventure range. That production model on display showcases some very interesting features. Bold Design Elements of the KTM 390 Adventure RThe new KTM 390 Adventure is bold in styling, almost along the lines of other KTM ADV models, but it does have some bold styling. It sports a front fairing that has a look and feel harking back to Dakar Rally bikes, complete with a horseshoe-shaped LED DRL and stacked twin LED projector lights. Above the headlight cluster is a tall windscreen that has a small letterbox-style cutout at the top for airflow to the rider. Another marked feature is the twin LED AUX lights placed near the fork stanchions. The fuel tank seems fairly large and is made visually larger with the aid of the tank extensions. The side and tail panels are also sturdy, as is the single unit of the seat that looks much like a rally bike in design but is highly practical. An orange beak, knuckle guards, and frame, along with part of the seat, are some of the key design elements on the KTM 390 Adventure R. Performance and Features Under the bodywork is the steel trellis frame, which has an adjustable WP fork supporting it and the offset monoshock. It has wire-spoke rims with tube-type tyres at both the front and rear and disc brakes. Note that the front disc has a neat cover that protects it from the elements when riding off-road.

It has made a great impact on performance figures in naked street format; it'd be very interesting to experience it all with the ADV version now. The KTM 390 Adventure R boasts a color TFT display with connectivity, including Bluetooth and navigation. Further, this motorcycle has a cruise control feature for long highway rides. The bike will be officially unveiled at EICMA 2024.
