KTM India just dropped a bombshell in the adventure biking segment. The 2025 KTM 390 Adventure X—just six months after its debut—has been upgraded with features that were once exclusive to its top-end sibling. And the best part? It still stays within a competitive price tag of ₹3.03 lakh (ex-showroom).
So, what makes this update a total game changer? Let’s break it down.
2025 KTM 390 Adventure X is a Game Changer
Reason #1: Premium Electronics, Now on the ‘Budget’ Variant
The biggest upgrade? Top-tier tech, now available on the base X variant. KTM has added features that were earlier limited to the higher-spec 390 Adventure, turning this ADV into a seriously capable machine.
New Electronic Features:
- Cornering ABS – Safer braking even while leaned into corners.
- Traction Control – Better grip on slippery or off-road surfaces.
- Cruise Control – A touring essential, now on a budget ADV!
- Three Ride Modes –
- Road for smooth performance
- Rain for safer wet-weather rides
- Off-Road for rough terrain fun
With these updates, the Adventure X is no longer just an entry-level variant—it’s a tech-loaded tourer that punches above its weight.
Reason #2: Same Powerful Heart, Enhanced Control
While the engine remains the same, KTM has made sure the riding experience is now smoother, safer, and more intuitive.

| Engine | 399 cc, Liquid-cooled, Single-cylinder |
