For 2025, the iconic KTM 690 ENDURO R is joined by a smaller machine proudly wearing the ENDURO R nameplate, the KTM 390 ENDURO R.
Tough, reliable, and true to its ENDURO R moniker, the 2025 KTM 390 ENDURO R thrives in the dirt but is just at home in the urban jungle as it is on mountain trails.
The KTM 390 ENDURO R enters a new segment of the market. With long travel suspension, 21/18-inch spoke wheels, a new minimal TFT dashboard, and even the option of turning MTC and ABS completely off, it provides real-world, dual-sport ability while setting the benchmark in the segment.
Boasting a slim profile thanks to a new two-piece steel trellis frame design, compact 2.37 gallon (9 liter) metal fuel tank, and small, off-road-focused fairings, the KTM 390 ENDURO R delivers confidence with rider-optimized ergonomics and incredibly flickable weight.
To excel no matter the conditions, the KTM 390 ENDURO R features a 43 mm open cartridge fork with easy compression and rebound adjustability in 30-click steps. On the rear, an off-center WP APEX shock absorber boasts 20 clicks of rebound adjustability and 230 mm of travel. Preload is adjustable with the quick use of a tool to find the right setup for riding with luggage or a passenger, or to just dial in for different terrain.
Featuring selectable ride modes, with OFFROAD MODE being the main feature, the KTM 390 ENDURO R leads the way in the segment with advanced technology to deliver nothing short of an exhilarating riding experience, whether sliding through forest roads, lifting the front wheel over downed logs, or navigating city streets.
The new 2025 KTM 390 ENDURO R will be hitting showroom floors in early 2025. For more information, visit ktm.com .
