KTM’s 390 Adventure series has always turned heads, and now the 2025 KTM 390 Adventure X is making news again. A fresh batch has landed at dealerships, and folks have already spotted it in Pune. While KTM hinted at calling it the ‘X Plus’, the badge on these bikes doesn’t show the ‘Plus’. So, for now, it’s still a bit of a mystery.
Riders who’ve been waiting for an upgrade will like what they see. The overall design looks just as sharp as before. KTM didn’t play around with bold new paint jobs this time. They stuck to what works. The look is rugged and ready, which is exactly what fans expect from this middleweight adventure bike.
Updated Features Seen
The biggest talking point is the tech KTM has added. A peek at the photos shows fresh switchgear that’s different from the regular 390 Adventure. There’s also a new cruise control switch tucked in. This little change makes a big difference for long highway rides.
What really sets this 2025 version apart is the electronic rider aids. KTM is bringing in an IMU-based package. So, you get Cornering ABS and switchable Cornering Traction Control. This means better safety and control, especially when you’re leaning into curves on tricky roads. For an adventure bike in this price range, that’s a sweet bonus.
Three Ride Modes Added
Another highlight is the three ride modes. Riders will get to choose between Street, Rain, and Off-Road. If the weather turns messy or you hit loose gravel, you can switch modes and keep going without worry. It’s the kind of feature that makes the bike more flexible for different riding styles and conditions.
The core setup under the bike hasn’t changed. You still get the 19-inch front and 17-inch rear alloys, which strike a nice balance for on-road and mild off-road trips. The only small letdown is the lack of adjustable suspension. Some riders like to fine-tune their suspension for rough terrain, and that won’t be possible with this one.
Price And Value
With these new electronics and added features, the price is likely to creep up. Reports say buyers should expect to pay about fifteen to twenty thousand more than the outgoing version. Considering the extra tech, that bump seems fair for what you’re getting.
For riders who want more control and safety but don’t want to spend on the higher trims, this 2025 KTM 390 Adventure X hits a good middle spot. It keeps things simple where it matters but packs in smart features where they count. And if the launch does happen this week, expect to see many of these hitting the roads and trails soon.
