Last month, KTM announced that the 390 Duke would be given a faceliftFrom the power, frame, shock absorption, electronic control will be upgraded in an all-round way;The upgraded model will be unveiled in the second half of next year. But the rest of the 390 series didn't change at the time, but just in the past two days, KTM has leaked some news again;Judging from the current news, 390 ADV will usher in a major overhaul in 2025;Let's take a look.
Like the previous 390 Duke facelift, the 2025 390 ADV's core powertrain platform is shared with the 390 Duke, which is the all-new LC4CLC stands for water-cooled, 4 stands for number of valves, and lowercase C means the engine is a compact designBecause although the name of the ** 390 has not changed, the displacement has increased to 399cc. The actual output came to 44 horsepower.
Although the KTM** 390 engine will reduce the peak power from 9500 rpm to 8500 rpm, this does not change the sound of the KTM 390 series single-cylinder engine, so the current monotonous sound will continue to accompany **. In addition, because the DUKE is street-facing, the ADV model will have a different frame changeAlthough it is still a steel lattice frame, it will be redesigned for stiffness and weight, while the new 390 ADV adds a cast aluminum subframe like the Duke model.
In terms of shock absorption, there will be a big difference between the ADV and the Duke series. The ADV model** will feature 21-inch wheels at the front, which are significantly larger than the current model's 19-inch wheelsIt also comes with high-mounted fenders and wire-spoke wheelsTo further emphasize its off-road capabilities. The front and rear shock absorbers are still from WP.
On the outside, the front face has been redesigned and will feature KTM's latest stacked headlight combination, surrounded by LED running lights. The front design is similar to the 2024 990 Duke and 1390 Super Duke R Evo. At the same time, because of this stacked upper and lower headlight design, the ** 390 ADV will use a vertical screen instrument, which has the feeling of a Dakar Rally model, and of course it will give people a more professional feeling;And because of the upper fairing formed by the extension of the screen and the headlight cluster, it is very similar to the 450 rally.
Overall, the 2025 KTM 390 ADV is part of the overall 390 series facelift;It's just that it's a little bit later in time. But judging from the specific changes, it is still worth looking forward to. It's just that in the face of today's 500 displacement ADV** avalanche, I don't know if KTM will still have a chance at that time. Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think?
