KTM 390 Enduro R: Overview
The KTM 390 Enduro R is essentially a more off-road-focused variant of the popular KTM 390 Adventure, but with notable differences. Designed to tackle challenging terrains, the 390 Enduro R comes with enhanced suspension travel, off-road-specific tires, and a lighter overall bodywork. It’s based on the Dakar rally-inspired chassis and brings true dirt-bike capabilities to the 390 lineup.
Engine and Performance
At the heart of the KTM 390 Enduro R lies the same tried-and-tested 373cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that powers the 390 Duke and 390 Adventure. It produces 44 hp and 37 Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed gearbox. However, the engine tuning and gear ratios have been optimized for better low-end torque delivery, crucial for trail and dirt riding.
The bike also features a slipper clutch, ride-by-wire throttle, and dual-channel ABS with an off-road mode to deliver superior control over rough terrain.
Chassis, Suspension & Brakes
The biggest highlight of the KTM 390 Enduro R is its high-travel WP XPLOR suspension setup—specifically tuned for off-road use. The bike gets a 21-inch front and 18-inch rear spoked wheel configuration, wrapped in knobby tires for maximum traction on gravel and dirt.
A lightweight trellis frame ensures rigidity and agility, while the longer suspension travel and high ground clearance make it more capable than the road-biased 390 Adventure. The bike tips the scales at around 160 kg, making it nimble and manageable in tough off-road conditions.
Features and Equipment
While the 390 Enduro R is stripped of some electronic frills to keep it rugged and lightweight, it still comes equipped with essential features like:
- Full digital TFT instrument cluster
- Switchable ABS
- LED lighting
- Off-road traction control
- Adjustable levers and footpegs
KTM offers the motorcycle in a signature orange-and-white racing livery, adding to its aggressive and ready-to-race DNA.
Pricing and Availability
Priced at ₹3.54 lakh (ex-showroom), the KTM 390 Enduro R may appear slightly premium, but it offers segment-leading off-road performance and is currently one of the most capable dual-sport motorcycles in the Indian market under ₹4 lakh. KTM India has confirmed that this is the export-spec model, available in limited quantities through exclusive KTM Pro-XP dealerships.
