The features include full LED headlamp and taillight, LED indicators, fully digital TFT display at instrument cluster and some riding assist technologies as well. It could get a ride by wire technology, multiple riding modes and dual-channel ABS. It will run on alloy wheels, but spoke could be there as an option.
Speaking about the power source of the KTM 390 Adventure, the smallest adventure model of the brand will come equipped with the same 373cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that works in KTM Duke 390 and RC 390. This engine is capable of churning out 43 bhp of power and 37 Nm of torque output. Expect the adventure bike to come generating the same power and torque output. A 6-speed gearbox will be there performing the transmission duty.
