Positioned in KTM's enduro - offroad motorcycle lineup, the 2024 KTM 390 Adventure SW relies on a 373.2 cc (22.8 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 43 HP (31.4 kW) while maximum torque reaches 37 Nm (27.3 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 115.2 HP per liter, the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the 390 Adventure SW measures 161 kg (355 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.27 HP/kg (3.74 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 830 mm (32.7 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,430 mm (56.3 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 14.5-liter (3.8 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 3.37 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 430 km (267 miles) between fill-ups.
