KTM 390 Adventure X+ 2025 Review: Specs, Price & Performance

The KTM 390 Adventure X+ 2025 carves a new niche in India’s mid-capacity ADV market, combining robust off-road capabilities with refined electronics and a competitive price point.he KTM 390 Adventure X+ 2025 is positioned as the premium sibling of the Adventure X, engineered to bridge the gap between cost-conscious touring and feature-rich performance.

Engine & Performance
Under the hood is KTM's refined 399 cc LC4c single-cylinder engine, generating 46 PS at 8,500 rpm and 39 Nm at 6,500 rpm — offering accessible low-end torque and smooth power delivery on both trails and highways. The bike retains the smooth quickshifter+ and ride-by-wire throttle as seen on the standard Adventure X, ensuring crisp gear changes and throttle response. The incremental weight — 182–183 kg kerb — remains manageable and keeps handling nimble.

Chassis & Handling
Built on a new steel-trellis frame with a subframe designed for adventure use, the X+ model equips 19‑inch front and 17‑inch rear alloy wheels, ideal for road-biased touring. Suspension travel is shared with the standard model — 200 mm front, 205 mm rear — but loses adjustability found on the fully specced 390 Adventure. Ground clearance remains around 227 mm, and seat height is a rider-friendly 825 mm.

Technology & Features
What sets the X+ apart is its new IMU-backed electronics package ― full-switchable Cornering ABS, switchable Cornering Traction Control, cruise control, and three riding modes (Street, Rain, Off-Road), previously the domain of the standard Adventure. It retains the 5‑inch TFT display, Bluetooth connectivity, LED lighting, and off-road ABS from the Adventure X.

Price & Value
While the fully-loaded 390 Adventure carries an ex-showroom tag of ₹3.68 lakh, the Adventure X+ is expected to be positioned between ₹3.10–3.20 lakh, offering high-end electronic aids at a ₹50–60k premium over the Adventure X and still ₹50k below the full-spec model. This positions it competitively against rivals like the Royal Enfield Himalayan and BMW G 310 GS.

Conclusion
The KTM 390 Adventure X+ is a compelling all-rounder that bridges the gap between value and capability. With premium electronics, solid off-road fundamentals, and a sub‑₹3.2 lakh price, it suits riders who demand safety features like cornering ABS and cruise control without paying full-Adventure money. The X+ is ideal for touring enthusiasts and gravel-road commuters who seek adventure-ready performance without compromise — a high-value proposition in India’s 400 cc ADV segment.

By delivering high-end features, refined performance, and off-road pedigree under ₹3.2 lakh, the KTM 390 Adventure X+ stands out as the smart ADV choice for discerning riders.
