KTM India has introduced the 2023 variant of the 390 Adventure. This is a much-anticipated trim as many enthusiasts have been eagerly waiting for it. KTM has upped its game in the ADV segment as it recently launched an entry-level 390 Adventure X which is aggressively priced at Rs 2.81 lakh, ex-showroom Delhi. We highlight what’s new with the 2023 KTM 390 Adventure.
1. 2023 KTM 390 Adventure: Wire spoke wheels
It’s been some time coming but KTM has finally listened to the feedback of its customers. Hence, the 390 Adventure is now available with wire spoke wheels. To give a sporty look, the wheel rims are all-black in colour. The 390 Adventure sports a 19-inch wheel in front and a 17-inch at the rear. The advantage of spoke wheels is that they are ideal for off-roading as they are more flexible than alloy wheels and can cushion the impact of going over rocks and other challenging terrains. KTM will continue to sell the alloy wheels trim of the 390 Adventure alongside the 2023 variant.

The front upside-down front forks are adjustable for compression and rebound by 30 clicks. There is no option to just preload. The rear mono-shock, on the other hand, is adjustable by 20 clicks for a rebound while retaining 10-step preload adjustability.
