Unofficial Bookings and Expected Launch
KTM dealers across India have begun accepting bookings for both models, with a booking amount ranging between Rs 5,000 and Rs 10,000. While KTM has not yet shared specific details about the pricing or exact launch dates, the company has confirmed that both the 390 Adventure S and 390 Enduro R will officially launch by mid-January 2025. Additionally, the 390 Adventure X, a more affordable variant of the Adventure model, will be unveiled at a later date and will be sold alongside the 390 Adventure S and Enduro R.

Price Expectations and Competitors
While KTM has not yet revealed the prices for the 390 Adventure S and 390 Enduro R, it is expected that both motorcycles will be priced competitively within the Indian market.
