2026 KTM 390 Adventure X - WHITE
The 2026 KTM 390 Adventure X in WHITE is built for riders who want one bike that can handle daily miles, backroad exploring, and weekends that turn onto gravel. Power comes from a liquid-cooled 398.7 cm³ single-cylinder, 4-stroke engine managed by Bosch EMS with RBW, paired with a 6-speed transmission. A steel trellis frame and WP APEX suspension help keep the ride composed, while KTM’s Offroad ABS supports confident braking when conditions get loose. A 5" LCD dash, USB-C port, and KTMconnect compatibility round out a practical cockpit for real-world adventure riding.
LC4c single-cylinder performance
At the heart of the 390 Adventure X is KTM’s latest-generation LC4c platform: a 398.7 cm³, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine producing 45 PS and 39 Nm. Bosch EMS with RBW (ride-by-wire) manages the power delivery, and a 6-speed gearbox keeps it versatile across commuting speeds, open-road stretches, and slower technical sections.
WP APEX suspension, adventure setup
The chassis is supported by WP APEX components—an open-cartridge 43 mm fork up front and a WP APEX Emulsion shock in the rear. Suspension travel is 200 mm front and rear, and the rear shock includes a preload adjuster to help tailor the bike for different loads and riding conditions.
Offroad ABS and connected cockpit
KTM’s proven Offroad ABS technology is designed to help you use strong braking performance in the dirt with added control. From the rider’s seat, the 5" LCD display keeps key information clear at a glance, a USB-C port is fitted as standard, and KTMconnect allows smartphone connectivity for calls, music, and optional turn-to-turn navigation via the display.
Engine and drivetrain for everyday versatility
The 390 Adventure X uses a 1-cylinder, 4-stroke, liquid-cooled engine with 398.7 cm³ displacement, tuned for real-world performance. Output is rated at 45 PS with 39 Nm of torque, and Bosch EMS with RBW helps deliver consistent throttle response. A 6-speed transmission gives the bike flexibility for city traffic, open roads, and slower off-pavement stretches.
Power is delivered through a 520 X-Ring chain. KTM specifies Motorex Formula 4T 15W/50 engine oil, and the listed CO2 emissions figure is 79 g/km.
Chassis, wheels, and braking confidence
A powder-coated steel trellis frame and bolt-on steel trellis subframe form the foundation of the 390 Adventure X, balancing stability with a nimble feel. Chassis geometry includes a 62.5° steering head angle, 99 mm trail, and a 1464 mm wheelbase. Ground clearance is 232 mm, supporting mixed-surface routes where obstacles and ruts are part of the plan.
Braking hardware comes from ByBre, with axial floating 2-piston calipers up front squeezing a 320 mm disc, and a 1-piston floating caliper at the rear with a 240 mm disc. Cast wheels measure 2.5 x 19" front and 3.5 x 17" rear—an adventure-friendly combination for pavement and gravel.
Ergonomics, range, and equipment for longer days
For comfort and control, the 390 Adventure X includes a Rally-style windscreen and offroad-focused footpegs. The footpegs are wide and robust, with two adjustable positions for standing or seated riding, and rubber inserts that can be removed when conditions get rough. Seat height is 825 mm, and the single-piece stepped seat is designed for easy removal to access the airbox and a small storage compartment underneath.
Fuel capacity is listed at 14 l (3.7 US gal), supporting longer rides between stops. KTM also fits a sturdy windshield design intended to provide an unobstructed view ahead, even when the bike gets dirty.
Display, connectivity, and warranty coverage
The cockpit centers around a 5" LCD dashboard, designed to keep rider information easy to read at a glance. A USB-C port is fitted as standard for on-bike charging. KTMconnect compatibility allows the bike to connect to your smartphone so you can make calls, listen to music, and use the optional turn-to-turn navigation app through the display.
KTM also includes a Premium Manufacturer’s Warranty: riders enjoy up to 4 years of coverage. To keep the warranty valid, regular services must be performed according to the service plan at an authorized KTM dealer.
