KTM 390 Adventure R Unveiled
The KTM 390 Adventure R is the 3rd-gen 390 Adventure offering from the Austrian manufacturer. It features a rally-bike inspired design, with a vertically stacked twin-projector LED headlight, and dakar-style bodywork. The bike overall looks pretty good and the change in design makes it feel like a substantial upgrade over the current KTM 390 Adventure.
There appears to be a steel trellis frame that is suspended by an adjustable WP fork and an offset monoshock. The bike rides on a 21-inch front wheel and an 18-inch rear wire-spoke rims with tube-type tyres. Braking duties are taken care of by a disc brake at the front and rear.

In terms of features, the bike has all-LED lights, colour TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity and navigation.
Powering the bike is the 390 Duke's liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine. This engine is known for its strong performance and it’ll be interesting to see how it lends itself to the ADV format.
