A state-of-the-art, liquid cooled, single-cylinder, four-stroke 373.2 cc engine
powers this agile machine perfectly into KTM’s world of ADVENTURE. The engine
is equipped with an electric starter and achieves impressive peak power with
incredibly punchy torque. Twin overhead camshafts, four valves and electronic
fuel injection are integral to the KTM 390 ADVENTURE’s outstanding power and

ing. Next-level rider aids include lean-angle-sensitive Motorcycle Traction Con-
trol (MTC) paired with a class-leading PASC slipper clutch to keep the power to
ground while pushing limits on or off the asphalt.
The low-maintenance, high-performance engine is housed in a flex and weight
optimized chassis fitted with premium, adjustable WP APEX suspension offering
170 mm of travel in the front and 177 mm in the rear. Bringing this machine to a
stop is easy with the BYBRE brake calipers, two-channel ABS system administered
by BOSCH software and the standard OFFROAD ABS mode. Its versatile ergonom-
ics, smooth power delivery and innovative technology all come together in a
comfortable, lightweight package built for those wanting to fit more adventure
into their daily lives.
