2023 KTM 390 Adventure

TGone are the days when going from A to B. The 2023 KTM 390 ADVENTURE rewrites the rulebook on what the daily commute needs to be. Merging all-road versatility and proven reliability with real-world performance, not to mention adventure-ready tubeless spoked wheels, a proven 373 cc powerplant, and a class-leading chassis, the KTM 390 ADVENTURE not only seeks out new adventures - it leaves no path unexplored.

Features may include:

ON-ROAD CONFIDENCE

• Engine

The KTM 390 ADVENTURE might seem small in stature, but twist the throttle and you'll awaken 44 eager horses ready to gallop toward the horizon. Merge that with a robust 6-speed sequential gearbox, QUICKSHIFTER +, and carefully tuned gear ratios, and the KTM 390 ADVENTURE quickly charges along with a smooth, uninhibited power spread for any terrain. Oh, and for complete adventure beginners - the KTM 390 ADVENTURE meets all A2 rider license requirements.

HIT THE HARD TRACK

• Wheels

The KTM 390 ADVENTURE boasts heavy-duty tubeless 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 spoked setups perfectly compliment the offroad-orientated tires to provide unmatched confidence when charging off into the wilderness.

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.

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.
