2025 KTM 390 Adventure to get Cruise Control!

Quick News Highlights:

- A few more spy shots of the 2025 KTM 390 Adventure have surfaced online

- The close-up of the switchgear confirms that the bike will get cruise control

- This will make the ADV very touring friendly

The upcoming KTM 390 Adventure was recently spotted in near-production guise in an event in the USA. And now, a few more images have surfaced online, confirming that the ADV will get cruise control. 

A closeup shot of the left side switchgear shows a button at the top with the cruise control logo on it and another button at the bottom with the “+” logo, which is usually used for setting the cruise control speed. This shows that KTM is prepping the bike with usable features to make it touring friendly, which is essential because most of its customers will likely use the bike for touring. 

The ADV also gets a very high ground clearance with the big, high-rise, beak-like front fender, fully adjustable inverted fork and off-road focused tyres (as seen in these pictures) should appease the expert riders who wish to hit the trails with the bike. The next-gen 390 Adventure gets a vertically stacked dual LED projector headlight setup with a large windscreen. The fuel tank gets sharp design lines and yet looks muscular with the tank extensions. 

The tail section looks quite slim and the bike gets an underbelly exhaust. It is most likely to be powered by the 390 Duke’s 398.63cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine but with a different sprocket setup to make the ADV more suitable for off-roading. On the features front, the bike gets the same TFT instrument console as that of the 390 Duke but is raised high above the handlebar like rally bikes. 

The upcoming KTM 390 Adventure will be unveiled at EICMA 2024 and the India launch is likely to happen towards the end of this year or early 2025. We think the price tag will be around the Rs 3.80 lakh (ex-showroom) mark and its rivals will be the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 and the upcoming Hero XPulse 400.
