KTM has launched the updated 2025 KTM 390 Adventure X Plus in India at ₹3.03 lakh, now offering premium features like cruise control, cornering ABS, and ride modes—marking a major upgrade for entry-level adventure bikes in the country.
KTM 390 Adventure X Plus: Price and Positioning
Priced at ₹3.03 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi), the new 2025 KTM 390 Adventure X Plus costs roughly ₹12,000 more than the earlier X variant. Positioned as the most affordable adventure tourer in KTM’s 390 lineup, it inherits several premium electronic features from the more expensive Adventure S model—making it a feature-rich option for long-distance riders.
Engine and Performance: Proven LC4c Powerhouse
The 390 Adventure X Plus retains KTM’s trusted 399 cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled LC4c engine, delivering around 45 PS of power and 39 Nm of torque. It’s paired with a six-speed gearbox that includes a slipper clutch and Quickshifter+, offering clutchless upshifts for smoother rides.
This setup ensures a strong mid-range, responsive throttle, and touring-ready dynamics while maintaining excellent fuel efficiency.
Tech Upgrades: Cruise Control, Cornering ABS & More
The 2025 KTM 390 Adventure X Plus gains several first-time features in this price bracket:
- Cruise Control with dedicated controls on the handlebar
- Cornering ABS and Motorcycle Traction Control (MTC) for enhanced safety
- Multiple Ride Modes – Street, Rain, and Off-road – allowing the rider to tailor performance based on conditions
These upgrades put it far ahead of most competitors in terms of on-board electronics.
Chassis, Suspension, and Touring Focus
The chassis setup includes 19-inch front and 17-inch rear alloy wheels, aimed at on-road stability and comfort. The suspension system comprises WP Apex non-adjustable front forks with 200 mm of travel and a rear monoshock offering 205 mm of travel.
With a relatively accessible seat height of 825 mm, the Adventure X Plus caters to a broader range of riders, especially those who prefer a confident touring stance over hardcore off-roading ergonomics.
Features and Rider Ergonomics
The bike comes equipped with:
- 5-inch full-color TFT display with smartphone connectivity and turn-by-turn navigation
- LED projector headlamps for better night visibility
- Ride-by-wire throttle
- Quickshifter+ for smoother gear transitions
Riders will appreciate the upright stance, wide handlebars, and lightweight trellis frame that make it ideal for highway cruising and mild off-road stretches.
Model Comparison: Where X Plus Stands
| Model | Key Features Added |
| 390 Adventure X Plus | Cruise Control, Cornering ABS, MTC, Ride Modes |
| 390 Adventure X | Lacks premium electronics, basic ride support |
| 390 Adventure R | Spoke wheels, adjustable suspension, taller seat height (~870 mm) |
The X Plus version effectively fills the gap between the base model and the R variant, offering a well-rounded package for riders who want tech without paying premium prices.
Why It Stands Out
- Tech-loaded, yet budget-friendly: First in the segment to offer cruise control and cornering ABS under ₹3.1 lakh.
- Engineered for India: The 399 cc engine balances city usability and long-distance comfort perfectly.
- Comfort-first design: With a lower seat height and road-biased tyres, it’s tailored for Indian highways and varied terrain.
- Ideal for new ADV riders: Offers high-end features without the intimidation of size or price.
Rider Response and Market Outlook
Early impressions from enthusiasts and reviewers highlight the 2025 KTM 390 Adventure X Plus as a game-changer for the mid-range ADV market in India. Riders praise its smooth ride quality, tech features, and comfort for daily commutes and weekend touring alike.
The new variant appeals to both first-time adventure buyers and seasoned riders looking for a reliable, versatile, and feature-rich motorcycle. The 2025 KTM 390 Adventure X Plus redefines what a mid-capacity adventure bike can offer at an affordable price. With the addition of cruise control, cornering ABS, traction control, and multiple riding modes, it’s a top contender in its segment. Whether you’re heading on a long road trip or just commuting through urban chaos, the Adventure
