It is most likely that KTM will provide their Adventure motorcycle with the following engine:

  • Engine: 373.2cc single-cylinder, liquid cooling
  • Horsepower: 43
  • Torque: 35 Nm
  • Gearbox: 6-speed transmission

Engineers will be tweaking the suspension setup and travel on the Adventure bike. They will also be tweaking gear ratio for a different riding experience, as the motorcycle will be used on both tarmac as well as on off-road conditions.

It is unclear if Bajaj will actually produce the Adventure 390 for KTM at its Chakan facility. The R&D team could be using the motorcycle for various purposes it could also be just for manufacturing a few components to cut down costs.
