PRODUCT DETAILS OF THE 2025 KTM ADVENTURE RANGE

BODYWORK AND GRAPHICS

The 2025 KTM ADVENTURE lineup takes its design cues directly from the Rally ranks. It boasts a slim and compact body profile, a rally-inspired instrument cluster of a 5” TFT on the top variant, a compactly designed 14.5 L metal fuel tank, LED projector headlamps, and sturdy fairings.




CTG AND GRAPHICS

The 2025 KTM ADVENTURE lineup boasts an entirely new rally-inspired KTM CTG with resilient in-mould graphics and a textured seat material with a unique ADVENTURE grip profile.




ALL-NEW ADVENTURE FOCUSED CHASSIS

A new 2-piece steel trellis frame design is based on the Gen 3 platform shared with the smaller-capacity DUKE, ENDURO R models but features a different steering head angle, triple clamps, subframe mounts, and rigidity profile, specifically engineered for offroad use, with improved handling, control and stability.




FRAME

The new frame is also designed for greater clearance for the radiator package, and the footpeg location has been optimized to better suit the riding style and requirements of longer spells in the saddle—on and off the road.




SUBFRAME

The new subframe sports a sleek, offroad-inspired bolt-on steel trellis design. This unique design contributes to a strong and sturdy build. The subframe was specifically crafted to offer a one-piece seat while having a long-stroke suspension. It is also stylish, functional, and thoughtfully designed for purpose.




SWINGARM

The new offroad-ready, gravity die-cast swingarm on the KTM 390 ADVENTURE models is shared with the KTM 390 ENDURO R.




FULLY ADJUSTABLE* 200mm LONG TRAVEL SUSPENSION

Each model in the KTM 390 ADVENTURE line-up features a unique suspension setup, ideally tuned and made to the model requirements. While all models make use of a WP APEX fork and off-center WP APEX shock, there are key differences between each:




The KTM 390 ADVENTURE features WP APEX 43 mm open cartridge USD forks with 200 mm of travel. The forks are adjustable for compression and rebound in 30-click steps, making it fully-adjustable. At the rear, the WP APEX Separate piston shock absorber also boasts 205 mm of travel. The rebound is adjustable by 20 clicks, and the preload is 10-step adjustable with a tool.




The 390 ADVENTURE X and the KTM 250 ADVENTURE features a non-adjustable WP APEX 43 mm big-piston USD forks with 200 mm of travel, with a WP APEX Emulsion shock absorber with 205 mm of travel. The preload is 10-step adjustable with a tool.




LOWER SADDLE HEIGHT OF 825mm*

The new suspension setup along with a revised design of the airbox profile allowing the engine to sit higher improving the ground clearance to 227mm, while the saddle can be lower at 825mm and provides a more offroad focused rider triangle.




The KTM 390 ADVENTURE with 21” tubeless spoke wheels in the front has a saddle hight of 830mm.




TUBELESS SPOKE WHEELS, ALLOY WHEELS WITH UNIQUE PROFILE

The wheel and tire setups clearly define the roles of the 2025 KTM 390 ADVENTURE models.




The 2025 KTM 390 ADVENTURE is the most off-road-capable in the lineup. It features spoked 21”/17” wheels with tubeless tires, offering excellent traction and durability for challenging terrain.




In contrast, the KTM 390 ADVENTURE X and KTM 250 ADVENTURE are better suited for road-focused adventures with occasional off-road use. It comes with 19”/17” cast wheels, fitted with tubeless tires, providing a balance of on-road comfort and light off-road capability.




These differences highlight the KTM 390 ADVENTURE’s off-road prowess, appealing to adventure enthusiasts, and the KTM 390 ADVENTURE X & KTM 250 ADVENTURE’s versatile, road-friendly nature, making it a great choice for those who want a balance between on-road comfort and off-road capability.




BRAKES WITH ADJUSTABLE BRAKE LEVERS* AND OFF-ROAD ABS ACROSS MODELS

All 2025 KTM 390 ADVENTURE models are equipped with Bybre brakes. The 2025 KTM ADVENTURE range is fitted with a 320 mm disc at the front with floating calipers. All models come with a new two-piston caliper in the front. This updated setup includes larger discs for improved heat dissipation, enhanced resistance to brake fading, and a longer lifespan for the brake pads. For the rear braking system, a 240 mm brake disk is paired with a new single-piston caliper to handle stopping and sliding duties effectively.




All models also have new brake lever and pump combinations, with improved tolerances and ergonomics being the key objectives. The KTM 390 ADVENTURE uses adjustable brake levers.




OFFROAD ABS

The KTM ADVENTURE lineup comes with a selectable offroad ABS mode. In this iteration, the offroad ABS mode stays on even after ignition on/off. The mode allows the locking of the rear wheel, allowing advanced riders to make the most of offroad adventures.




ENGINE

The 2025 KTM 390 ADVENTURE models are powered by a new generation of lightweight, compact 399cc single-cylinder engines, dubbed the LC4c (c for compact), which debuted in the most recent KTM 390 DUKE.




Building on the experience gained with the previous generation of 390’s single-cylinder engines, these powerplants have been completely redesigned, with newly optimized cylinder heads and gearboxes ready for newest emission norms.




This new engine platform also brings new service intervals, with the initial oil changes required at 1,000 km followed by regular services every 10,000 km thereafter.




CYLINDER HEAD

This new LC4c powerplant features a smaller valve cover with a smaller cylinder head, reducing the weight at the upper end of the engine. A new thermostat position – mounted directly into the cylinder head – improves thermal monitoring and provides more stable running temperatures under different riding conditions.




FUEL INJECTION

These new injectors also provide a finer fuel spray, resulting in more efficient combustion and fewer emissions.




NEW AIRBOX

A new airbox has been specifically optimized allowing the engine to sit higher, increasing ground clearance and provides a more offroad focused rider triangle.




EXHAUST

A unique stainless steel exhaust design means the system fitted to the KTM 390 ADVENTURE bikes does not need an end muffler, resulting in a two-kilogram total weight saving.

6-SPEED GEARBOX WITH QUICKSHIFTER+ AND SLIPPER CLUTCH

All models of the KTM ADVENTURE comes with a QUICKSHIFTER+ as standard for clutchless upshift and downshift. They also have a power-assist slipper clutch, with revised gear ratios.




The KTM 390 ADVENTURE also gets adjustable clutch levers.




RIDER FOCUSED TECHNOLOGY

CORNERING MTC; RIDE MODES; 5” TFT WITH NAVIGATION

Setting the benchmark for the smaller displacement Adventure segment, the 2025 KTM ADVENTURE lineup boasts real-world technological advancements that enhance the riding experience and safety.




3 RIDE MODES: STREET, RAIN, OFF-ROAD

The KTM 390 ADVENTURE models feature selectable ride modes, featuring OFFROAD MODE. The default setting is STREET, with RAIN MODE being selectable in adverse weather conditions for a less aggressive throttle response and tailored traction control. However, for riders looking for more control or to slide the rear wheel into corners, Motorcycle Traction Control can also be turned off completely.




The 2025 line-up also includes an ‘always on’ feature. This means that whatever Ride Mode was in use when the motorcycle was turned off will be retained at startup.




CORNERING MOTORCYCLE TRACTION CONTROL

The 2025 KTM 390 ADVENTURE is fitted with cornering MTC, which uses the input from the 3D IMU sensor to adapt in cornering situations. The MTC can also be turned off completely.




NEW 5” TFT DASHBOARD AND SWITCHGEAR AS STANDARD ACROSS MODELS

The KTM ADVENTURE is fitted with a new 5” dashboard—TFT on all the variants of the KTM ADVENTURE. Made from bonded glass and featuring a polarization coating to reduce glare and improve readability on bright days, the display ensures riders can quickly and easily see all relevant information and customize their motorcycle settings.




CONNECTIVITY & NAVIGATION

The 2025 KTM ADVENTURE models with its 5” TFT display comes equipped with connectivity functions, such as a music player via the KTMConnect app, the ability to answer incoming calls, and turn-by-turn navigation.




The new 5” TFT dashboards are supported by completely redesigned switchgear with optimized ergonomics and illuminated switches. These allow riders to control various motorcycle functions, such as lights, indicators, and ride modes, and, of course, interact with different connectivity features.




Lastly, a new connectivity unit connects the motorcycle to the rider’s smartphone via Bluetooth. It enables the rider to access features such as turn-by-turn navigation, music library directly from the dashboard, call in and out, and Remote-Control Mode, which allows the rider to control their phone via the switch cubes.




ALL LED LIGHTING WITH PROJECTOR HEADLAMPS

All 2025 models feature rally-inspired LED lighting all around. The LED projector headlamps provide excellent visibility during the day and illumination at night.
