KTM USA just revealed the next-generation 390 Adventure at the 2024 KTM Adventure Rally in South Dakota. According to leaked photos of the 2025 KTM 390 Adventure R, the motorcycle will have a cruise control system, which will improve its long-distance touring capabilities.
The left-hand switchgear contains a cruise control switch and a '+/Res' button for setting and resetting speed, indicating a more relaxed riding experience. In addition to cruise control, the new 390 Adventure is expected to include 390 Duke features, including a bi-directional quick-shifter, lean-sensitive cornering ABS with supermoto mode, traction control, LED lighting, a TFT colour display, and Bluetooth.
The 2025 390 Adventure will also have a fully adjustable suspension, 21/18-inch spoke wheels with dual-purpose tyres and a 399cc liquid-cooled LC4c engine from the new 390 Duke. The engine produces 45.3 horsepower at 8,500 rpm and 39.5 Nm of peak torque at 6,500 rpm, although KTM may adjust the final drive ratio to meet the adventure bike's individual requirements.
The next-generation 390 Adventure series is set to debut at EICMA 2024 in November, with an Indian launch planned for early 2025. The range will most likely feature four variations, as well as a 390 SMC R model based on the same chassis.
