KTM 390 Adventure and 390 Enduro - Exterior Design
The KTM 390 Enduro appears to be more focused on off-road riding, featuring a 21-inch front wheel and chunky off-road tyres. On the other hand, the 390 Adventure is expected to maintain a 19-inch front wheel for better accessibility. Both bikes are likely to have differences in suspension travel, with the Enduro possibly offering more travel for tackling rough terrain.
Similar to the updated 390 Duke, which received a new engine, frame, and suspension, the next-gen 390 Adventure is anticipated to feature similar upgrades. These may include a new swingarm and side-mounted monoshock to accommodate a larger airbox and a lower seat height. The upcoming 390 Adventure will sport vertically stacked projectors with LED DRLs, along with a taller touring-friendly visor. In contrast, the Enduro version will feature a smaller headlamp without a visor. Both variants will sport a tall beak and side fender design inspired by larger KTM ADV bikes. The standard 390 Adventure is likely to have a wider single-piece seat, while the Enduro will feature a narrower flat seat suitable for off-road riding.
