GRAPHICS

ENGINE
Boasting the latest generation of KTM’s LC4c engine, the KTM 390 ENDURO features a compact, 399 cc single-cylinder powerplant, churning out impressive power and effortless acceleration. This makes it ideal for charging through motorway traffic or up steep, gravel mountain passes.

RIDE MODES
The KTM 390 ENDURO R offers its pilots a selection of RIDE MODES to best suit whatever conditions they find themselves in. STREET Mode is activated as standard, and OFFROAD Mode is for when the tarmac ends. All RIDE MODES and ABS settings are easily toggled via the TFT display.

ABS
The KTM 390 ENDURO R boasts a Bosch 10.3MB Modulator, which is the brain responsible for its impressive ABS system. This enables standard ABS and an OFFROAD ABS option for dirt applications. However, should you want more control and better “skidablity”. The dedicated ABS-off button allows all ABS to be disabled.

LED LIGHTING
Tearing a deep gash into the night, the KTM 390 ENDURO R is equipped with powerful LED lights taken from its bigger brother, the KTM 690 ENDURO R. These lights not only work when the world becomes dark but also provide improved visibility when navigating heavy traffic or misty road conditions.

FOOTPEGS
All-new, grippy footrests ensure riders have an uninterrupted foothold when banging through the gears or carving up a muddy track. These are also adjustable in two positions.

FRAME
The new design features a 2-piece construction composed of a steel trellis main frame and a pressure die-cast aluminum subframe. The frame design is not only designed for overall looks but also to enhance vehicle dynamics by augmenting torsional rigidity, improved agility, and enhanced feedback from the chassis on both tarmac and dirt tracks.

SWINGARM
A gravity die-cast swingarm has been specifically developed for the KTM 390 ENDURO R and provides a sturdy and durable platform for the rear suspension system. Featuring a direct shock absorber mount offset to the side, it creates additional space for the unique exhaust system.
