KTM 390 Enduro R With Long-Travel Suspension To Be Launched In India Soon

Hot on the heels of the launch of the 390 Enduro R, KTM India has revealed its decision to launch the global-spec version of the motorcycle in the Indian market. The current model, which is priced at Rs 3.37 lakh (ex-showroom), has quite a few differences from the version sold overseas in the form of cost-cutting and market suitability measures. KTM, however, hasn’t revealed a specific timeframe for the launch of this variant. With the current version slotting in between the 390 Adventure and Adventure X, one can expect the new variant to exceed the 390 Adventure in terms of pricing when it goes on sale.

While the upcoming variant retains the same design and many of the same features as the Enduro R, it has some major differences on the mechanical front. The new variant will be equipped with a completely different long-travel suspension setup with 230 mm travel on both ends. For reference, the current version of the Enduro R in India has 200 mm of travel up front and 205 mm of rear travel, identical to the KTM 390 Adventure. Other differences include a higher ground clearance figure of 272 mm, 19 mm greater than the currently on sale model, and a taller 890 mm seat height.
