The 2025 KTM 390 Enduro R Is Coming to India – Dirt Just Got Serious
Off-road warriors and KTM fans, the wait is almost over. The 2025 KTM 390 Enduro R is on its way to India, and it’s about to shake up the dual-sport segment like never before. With an upgraded engine, trail-tuned hardware, and KTM’s signature off-road DNA, this is more than just a launch—it’s a calling for every rider who dreams of leaving the tarmac behind.
Born to Roar: The Powertrain
At the core of this dirt-ready beast is a new 399cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine, cranking out around 46 PS of power and 39 Nm of torque. Whether you’re carving up mountain trails or charging through riverbeds, this motor delivers responsive, punchy performance that’s always ready for a challenge.
Built for the Rough Stuff
Unlike your average adventure bike, the 390 Enduro R is a purpose-built off-roader. Sitting on a lightweight steel trellis frame, it features WP XPLOR long-travel suspension (230mm front and rear) and a class-leading 272mm ground clearance—perfect for hopping rocks, soaking up bumps, and taming unpredictable terrain.
Wheels That Mean Business
The bike rides on true enduro-spec wheels—a 21-inch front and an 18-inch rear—shod with knobby tires to deliver max grip where roads don’t exist. And when it’s time to slow down, disc brakes front and rear with switchable ABS ensure control is always at your fingertips—even on loose surfaces.
Tech for the Trails
Despite its rugged nature, the 390 Enduro R doesn’t skip on smart features. A compact TFT display offers Bluetooth connectivity for calls, music, and turn-by-turn navigation. Add in dedicated Street and Offroad ride modes, and you’ve got a machine that adapts to your riding style on the fly.
Indian Launch Incoming
After making a strong impression at EICMA 2024 and India Bike Week, KTM has confirmed that the 390 Enduro R is heading to Indian showrooms soon. Expected to launch mid-April 2025, the bike is projected to be priced around ₹3.4 – ₹3.5 lakh (ex-showroom)—a seriously competitive tag for what it offers.
Why This Bike Matters
India’s adventure scene is evolving fast. Riders are looking beyond highways and well-paved routes, exploring deeper into nature’s playgrounds. Until now, options in the lightweight enduro category were few and far between. The arrival of the 390 Enduro R could be a game-changer—offering serious trail capability without crossing into premium import territory.
So, whether you’re dreaming of your first Ladakh expedition or just want a bike that can go where others won’t, the KTM 390 Enduro R might just be the most exciting launch of the year.
