KTM 390 Adventure R Review: The Mini Rally King? đ
Is the all-new 2026 KTM 390 Adventure R finally the "Ready to Race" lightweight ADV we've been waiting for? In this first ride review, we take the redesigned 399cc thumper through its pacesâfrom technical off-road trails to high-speed highway cruising.
KTM has completely overhauled the platform, ditching the old 19/17-inch wheel setup for a true 21-inch front and 18-inch rear spoked wheel configuration. With 230mm of adjustable WP APEX suspension and a Dakar-inspired rally aesthetic, this isn't just a faceliftâitâs a revolution for the entry-level adventure segment.
In this video, we cover:
Engine & Performance: How the 46 PS LC4c engine handles the extra weight.
Off-Road Capability: Testing the new 21/18 wheel split and Offroad ABS.
Tech & Electronics: Is the new 5-inch TFT and lean-angle sensitive MTC worth it?
Comfort & Ergos: Seat height (870mm) and long-distance touring potential.
Pros & Cons: What KTM got right and where they missed the mark.
đ§ Key Specs:
Engine: 398.7cc LC4c Single-Cylinder
Power: 46 PS / 39 Nm Torque
Suspension: WP APEX 43mm (230mm travel front/rear)
Ground Clearance: 272mm
Wet Weight: ~176 kg (fully fueled)
Fuel Capacity: 14 Liters
