2026 KTM 390 Adventure R
2026 KTM 390 Adventure R for Sale at Virginia KTM in Virginia, QLD | Review Specifications, Features & Information
SUPREMELY CAPABLE
We have to say it - the KTM 390 ADVENTURE R is the most off-road capable middleweight adventure bike in its segment. Yes, it's a bold claim, but with a 399cc powerplant, true rally-inspired design, 230 mm adjustable suspension, and a 21/18"" wheel split, this new addition to the KTM R stable simply rewrites the rulebook.
UNLIMITED POWER
Boasting the latest generation in LC4c engines, the KTM 390 ADVENTURE range muscles up with 399 cc, more power, smoother acceleration, and lighter overall weight than before. Drawing from years of experience in the small engine game, the KTM 390 ADVENTURE R also features an improved gearbox and an optimized cylinder head. It is ready to adopt EURO 5.2 emission standards.
DOMINATE THE DIRT
When the tar road ends and the dirt track begins, KTM 390 ADVENTURE R riders can switch to OFFROAD MODE. This allows a certain rear-wheel slip, meaning muddy puddles or thick sand is easily navigated. In OFFROAD MODE, OFFROAD ABS is also activated, meaning you can pull your best impressions by locking up the rear wheel to slide into corners. OFFROAD MODE also maintains its settings if you stall the engine or switch off your machine, meaning you're ready to go as soon as the engine fires up.
PICK YOUR PATH
With its 21" front and 18" rear heavy-duty spoked wheels at each end, the KTM 390 ADVENTURE R makes tackling the toughest dirt trails a breeze. No more worries about cracked or chipped rims; these spoked setups perfectly complement the offroad-orientated Mitas Enduro Trail E07+ tires, providing unmatched confidence when charging off into the wilderness.
RIDE ALL DAY
Whether you're settled into a long homeward journey along the motorway or venturing into uncharted territories, the KTM PowerParts catalogue has got you covered from Cruise Control to Luggage Cases and everything in between.
FULL CONFIDENCE EVERYWHERE
The KTM 390 ADVENTURE R confidently carves up any road surface, thanks to its low center of gravity, nimble handling, and 21" front wheel. This also means you can grab a handful of brakes with total confidence thanks to high-tech Cornering MTC, Cornering ABS, and Offroad ABS. These allow riders to apply more power mid-corner on the tarmac and get the most out of the brakes.
GO FOR MILES
What's an adventure without fuel range? The KTM 390 ADVENTURE R boasts a 14-liter fuel capacity and exceptional fuel economy, making long jaunts into the faraway outdoors easy. What's more, the fuel tank represents a central element of the design and engineering, offering excellent ergonomics for riders of all sizes without sacrificing off-road handling.
