Much awaited KTM 390 Adventure has finally been unveiled globally at EICMA 2019. The KTM 390 Adventure has been one of the most-awaited motorcycles in the market, with the motorcycle being spotted testing on multiple occasions in Europe as well as India.
KTM 390 Adventure Showcased At EICMA 2019
Reportedly, the adventure motorcycle was expected to be launched at the 2018 EICMA in Nov last year but disappointed the fans and prospective buyers with no show. Now, as KTM has finally taken the wraps off the 390 Adventure, it is set to go on sale in India soon. The KTM 390 Adventure is an off-road version of the 390 Duke and is expected to launch in India in December, during IBW 2019 (India Bike Week).
KTM 390 Adventure at EICMA is seen with alloy wheels at both ends measuring 19” at the front and 17” at the rear. These are wrapped with dual-purpose rubbers – which will offer equally good traction on road and off the road. It also features a full-colour TFT display with Bluetooth, to access phone calls and audio. This is similar to KTM Duke 390.
