HIT THE HARD TRACK

Wheels

The KTM 390 ADVENTURE boasts heavy-duty spoked wheels at each end, making it extremely ready to tackle the toughest of dirt trails. No more worries about cracked or chipped rims, these tube-type spoked setups perfectly compliment the offroad-orientated tires to provide unmatched confidence when charging off into the wilderness.

Offroad Mode

When the tar road ends and the dirt track begins, KTM 390 ADVENTURE riders can simply switch to OFFROAD MODE. This allows a certain rear-wheel slip, meaning muddy puddles or thick sand is easily navigated. More so, in OFFROAD MODE, OFFROAD ABS is also activated, meaning you can pull your best Chris Birch impressions locking up the rear wheel to slide into corners. OFFROAD MODE also maintains its settings in the event of stalling the engine or switching off your machine, meaning you're ready to go as soon as the engine fires up.

Reworked Suspension

With many years of development in the toughest terrain, the KTM 390 ADVENTURE boasts WP APEX suspension at each wheel. This results in a best-in-class handling package that is ready to tackle any adventure. Not only that, but the cutting-edge WP APEX shock absorber provides tailored performance ideal for traveling long distances in tough conditions. Thanks to an adjustable spring preload and rebound damping, it can also be fine-tuned to suit the rider, conditions, and nature of adventure.

SUPERIOR CONTROL

03. SUPERIOR CONTROL

Bodywork

The KTM 390 ADVENTURE features distinctive KTM-style bodywork and graphics, providing excellent ergonomics and an aggressive look inspired by KTM's vast Rally racing heritage. This can be seen in everything from the headlight mask to the low front fender. The tank spoilers and rear side panels are slightly wider than the seat for optimized control when standing on the pegs, while the shape of the fuel tank is optimized to offer freedom of movement when tackling tricky technical terrain. A robust engine guard also makes its intentions known by protecting the engine and exhaust when venturing off the tarmac into the dirt.

TFT Display

A state-of-the-art, full-color TFT display adorns the cockpit of the KTM 390 ADVENTURE. This best-in-class display interface automatically adapts to variations in ambient light. For the best use of power, the rev counter blinks when it's time to shift. The 5'' display is easy to read and the main information is arranged in such a way that you can immediately see it. The rider can also easily select which information they would like on the screen via the multi-functional menu switch on the handlebar.

LED Headlight

Some adventures take a little longer than others. However, thanks to ultra-bright best in class LED lights on the KTM 390 ADVENTURE, you'll have no problems navigating your way home. The LEDs also take their design cues from the bigger KTM ADVENTURE machines, so they not only offer great illumination and visibility but are designed to be compact, to reduce the overall volume of the motorcycle.

MTC (Motorcycle Traction Control)

Providing traction when you need it most, the MTC - or Motorcycle Traction Control - system fitted to the KTM 390 ADVENTURE is a lean-angle sensitive system that reacts the instant it senses the rear wheel rotational speed becoming disproportionate to the riding situation. Put more simply; MTC reacts in milliseconds to smoothly reduce engine output to reduce slippage to stop the spin, and keep you moving forward safely.

KTMconnect

Even on adventures, you want to stay connected. Thanks to the KTMconnect system, the KTM 390 ADVENTURE connects to your smartphone allowing you to make phone calls, listen to music and use the optional turn-by-turn navigating feature, all via the TFT display.

ALL-ROUND COMFORT

04. ALL-ROUND COMFORT

Frame

KTM 390 ADVENTURE features an ultra-lightweight, yet extremely stable trellis frame - just like the multi-championship winning KTM 450 RALLY. It provides the backbone to the KTM 390 ADVENTURE and is a major element that accounts for its nimble handling, and forgiving the balance of flex and stiffness. This, combined with a wheelbase of 1430 mm and a 63.5-degree steering head angle, means it was built to tackle the dirtiest of trails in the great outdoors.

ERGONOMICS

Let's be clear about it - the KTM 390 ADVENTURE is all about hitting the tough stuff. It is designed to be an adventure machine, from its Rally-style windscreen, right down to its offroad-focused footpegs. All-day riding comfort, supreme offroad agility, and unmatched rider involvement make the KTM 390 ADVENTURE a class leader when it comes to taking the path less traveled in complete control.

Seat

The KTM 390 ADVENTURE features a two-part seat that provides unmatched comfort and rider control. Being narrower in the front than the rear, it not only provides easy accessibility for shorter riders but also better control on difficult terrain. The seat can be easily removed for access to the airbox and a small storage compartment underneath, with the KTM PowerParts team, having also specifically developed different seats to match individual customer needs from comfort to riding style.

Footpegs

Wide, robust footpegs lifted directly from KTM offroad models give a hint to the KTM 390 ADVENTURE's party trick. Developed for all-day riding comfort - standing or seated - the footpegs are perfectly matched to both street or offroad boots, and feature easy-to-remove rubber inserts for when the riding really gets rough.
