The KTM 390 Adventure has finally made its way to Malaysia. The highly popular and fun-to-ride single-cylinder ADV has been launched in the Southeast Asian country at MYR 30,800. Along with the 390 Adventure, the Austrian brand has also introduced the KTM 250 Adventure in the country. The quarter-litre dual-purpose motorcycle has been priced at MYR 21,500.
Bringing the 390 Adventure to life is a
373.2cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine. It is a highly successful motor
which has already proved its mettle in the KTM 390 Duke. It features 4 valves
and a DOHC set up. It is capable of pumping out 44 bhp of max power at 9000 rpm
and 37 Nm of peak torque at 7000 rpm. Handling the transmission duties here is
a 6-speed gearbox that has an assist and slipper clutch for company. KTM is
also providing an optional quick-shifter that costs MYR 1,600.
The suspension setup on the 390 Adventure
includes WP Apex 43mm USD forks adjustable for compression and rebound. At the
rear, there is a WP Apex monoshock that is also adjustable for rebound and
preload. For the brakes, there’s a 320mm rotor at the front and a 230mm rotor
at the rear. The dual-channel ABS from Bosch is also available and can be
switched off for the rear wheel.
Some of the key features of the 390
Adventure consist of a ride-by-wire throttle, traction control, full-digital
and full-colour TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity, LED headlamp, and LED
DRLs. The wheel setup on the motorcycle includes a 19-inch front and a 17-inch
rear wheel. The 390 Adventure also has a large 14.5L fuel tank.
