All-New Upgrade: Why KTM 390 Adventure X Is Discontinued in India.

KTM has finally decided that the production and bookings of the KTM 390 Adventure X will be stopped in India. In its place, the 390 Adventure X Plus will be launched in the market, which will borrow features from the standard 390 Adventure, but at a slightly affordable price.
Those who were planning to buy the Adventure X, their hearts are broken after hearing this news, but another good news is that now there will be a new option for them in the form of X Plus, which will come with the same sporty touring character, but with much better electronic enhancements.
IMU Tech & Ride Modes: Major Feature Upgrade in X Plus.
The biggest highlight of this new variant is the IMU-based electronics package, which was previously only standard on the 390 Adventure.
In this package, you will get:
- Switchable Cornering ABS – which will give better stability during cornering.
- Switchable Cornering Traction Control – extra confidence on slippery roads.
- Cruise Control – blessing for long highway rides.
- Three Ride Modes – Street, Rain, and Off-Road modes, you can choose the setting according to your riding environment.
All these features make this bike a complete touring machine, especially for those who want both comfort and control.
Wheels & Suspension: Still Road-Focused DNA.
Just like the old KTM 390 Adventure X, the new X Plus variant also gets the same 19-inch front and 17-inch rear alloy wheels, which indicates that this bike is primarily made for road-touring, with mild off-road capability.
Yes, there is one noticeable omission – this variant does not get the adjustable suspension, which is part of the standard 390 Adventure. But still, the stock suspension setup maintains a very good balance between comfort and sporty handling.
Price in India: Most Affordable IMU-Enabled Adventure Tourer?
Even after the addition of IMU-based features, KTM plans to keep the pricing quite balanced. The KTM 390 Adventure X Plus is expected to be priced just ₹ 15,000 – ₹ 20,000 higher than the existing Adventure X.
If you are looking for a value-for-money adventure tourer with premium features but not too high a price, the X Plus could be the perfect choice for you.
Launch Date in India: Coming Very Soon.

According to company sources, the official launch of the KTM 390 Adventure X Plus could be expected in the coming weeks.
Booking announcements and dealership-level confirmations should also be expected soon. For those who were waiting for a touring adventure bike with new features, this would be the perfect time to upgrade.
Should You Buy The KTM 390 Adventure X Plus?
Now let’s come to the final summary of whether you should buy this bike or not. If you want an adventure bike with smart features like cruise control, cornering tech, and multiple riding modes, without paying the high price of the standard model, then the KTM 390 Adventure X Plus is a great option.
Now what do you say? Will this variant meet the expectations of existing KTM fans? Or will the discontinuation of the Adventure X be a risk? Please do tell me in the comment section!
