KTM 390 Enduro R Launching Tomorrow in India: Expected Price, Specs, and Key Changes

KTM India is all set to officially unveil the KTM 390 Enduro R on April 11, adding a new off-road-focused machine to its 390 lineup. With the 390 Adventure already a strong contender in the mid-size ADV segment, the Enduro R takes it further into trail territory, carving a niche of its own.

KTM 390 Enduro R: Expected Price in India

The KTM 390 Enduro R is expected to be priced between ₹3.2 lakh and ₹3.4 lakh (ex-showroom), placing it between the KTM 390 Adventure X and the KTM 390 Adventure S. Despite limited direct competition in India, it will cater to serious off-road enthusiasts seeking a lighter, more agile machine.

India-Specific Changes: Grounded for Local Terrain

While globally the 390 Enduro R comes with more aggressive specs, KTM has tailored the Indian model for practicality and broader appeal:

• Suspension travel:

  • Front: 205 mm (down from 230 mm)

  • Rear: 200 mm (down from 230 mm)

• Ground clearance: 253 mm (vs 272 mm globally)

• Seat height: 860 mm (vs 890 mm globally)

The changes make the bike more manageable for Indian riders while still maintaining robust off-road capabilities. The bike retains its 21-inch front and 18-inch rear spoke wheels, now wrapped in Mitas dual-purpose tyres, ideal for mixed terrain.

Performance and Powertrain

The 390 Enduro R borrows its powertrain from the latest-gen KTM 390 Duke:

• Engine: 399cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled LC4c

• Power: 45.3 bhp

• Torque: 39 Nm

• Transmission: 6-speed gearbox

• Electronics: Dual-channel ABS and traction control

While cruise control is not included, the Enduro R focuses on offering pure trail performance without extra frills that might weigh it down.

Features and Tech

Designed for off-road agility, the KTM 390 Enduro R keeps things functional:

• Minimalist bodywork to reduce kerb weight (168 kg)

• Smaller 4.1-inch TFT display with Bluetooth

• Turn-by-turn navigation, music control, and basic ride stats

• Traction control and off-road ABS

The bike’s rugged frame and stripped-down design make it ideal for serious trail riders looking for a more direct connection with the terrain.

Final Take

With its purpose-built off-road DNA, locally adapted ergonomics, and aggressive pricing, the KTM 390 Enduro R is set to become a go-to choice for trail enthusiasts and dual-sport adventurers in India. The official pricing and availability will be announced at launch, but it’s already clear this model is aimed at riders who want a lighter, more focused alternative to the 390 Adventure range.
