Looks like KTM is ready to drop another update for its popular ADV line. The 2025 KTM 390 Adventure X has started arriving at dealerships. A few sharp-eyed folks spotted it sitting pretty inside a Pune showroom. That means the official launch is just days away now.
Name Still Under Wraps
There’s been chatter that this new bike would carry the ‘X Plus’ badge. But these fresh images say otherwise. No ‘Plus’ anywhere on that tank or side panels. So, is it the 390 Adventure X or the X Plus? KTM is keeping that bit tight until the covers come off officially.
No Major Design Overhaul
KTM hasn’t gone wild with new paint or graphics. The 390 Adventure X sticks to what works. The usual bold orange and black shades are still there. What does stand out though is the new switchgear. You’ll spot a dedicated cruise control switch, which is a handy touch for those long highway runs.
Electronics Get A Boost
This is where things get interesting. KTM has given the new X model some clever kit. The bike now packs an IMU-based setup. That means Cornering ABS is in. Riders will also get switchable Cornering Traction Control. These rider aids make a real difference, especially when the weather turns or you’re carving through twisties.
And there’s more. You’ll get three riding modes now — Street, Rain, and Off-Road. So whether you’re stuck in a downpour or tackling loose trails, you can tweak the bike’s behaviour on the fly.
Same Heart, Familiar Bones
KTM hasn’t tinkered with the mechanical bits. The frame, engine, wheels — all pretty much the same as the outgoing version. The bike still rolls on a 19-inch front and 17-inch rear alloy combo. That’s good news for fans who liked how the older model handled.
But there’s one small catch. The new 2025 model won’t get an adjustable suspension. That’s something the standard version offers. So if you want that extra bit of tuning freedom, you’ll still need to pay for the top-spec trim.
A Slight Price Bump
With all these added electronics, expect a small bump in price too. Word is the new 390 Adventure X could cost about 15 to 20 thousand rupees more than the version it replaces. But for riders who want cornering tech and extra modes without going all-in for the fully loaded Adventure, this might be a sweet spot.
KTM knows its adventure riders want a mix of tech and value. This new update could be just the balance a lot of folks were waiting for. Keep an eye out — deliveries could kick off as soon as the official word drops.
