2025 KTM 390 Enduro R Preview 

2025 KTM 390 Enduro R

Just one week after announcing the new 2025 KTM 390 SMC R supermoto, KTM has released details on another model using the same LC4c single-cylinder engine: the 2025 KTM 390 Enduro R dual-sport. 

Like the 390 SMC R, the 390 Enduro R uses the engine and frame derived from the 390 Duke but with changes and features to create a slim and capable dual-sport. The engine is a liquid-cooled 399cc Single, which makes a claimed 45 hp at 8,500 rpm and 28.8 lb-ft of torque at 7,000 rpm in the Duke. A new airbox has been designed specifically for the Enduro R and allows the engine to sit higher to increase ground clearance. The Enduro R also gets its own stainless-steel exhaust design that does not need a separate muffler, reducing weight by 4.4 lb. The dual-sport comes with a 6-speed gearbox and a slip/assist clutch, and Quickshifter+ is available as an option.

The KTM 390 Enduro R uses the 399cc LC4c Single also found in the 390 Duke and the new 390 SMC R.

The two-piece steel trellis frame is based on the Duke platform but gets a different steering-head angle, triple clamps with 1-inch handlebar risers, and an altered rigidity profile. The bike also includes a bolt-on steel trellis subframe and a gravity die-cast aluminum swingarm. 

The Enduro R rides on 21-inch front and 18-inch rear spoked wheels wrapped in Metzeler Karoo 4 tires. Suspension is provided by WP, with a 43mm open cartridge fork offering compression and rebound adjustability in 30 steps and an off-center Apex shock offering adjustable rebound with 20 clicks, as well as adjustable preload. Suspension travel is 9 inches front and rear. Brakes are provided by Bybre and consist of a 285mm disc up front and a 240mm disc in the rear. 

The compact fuel tank holds 2.4 gallons, and the one-piece seat sits at a height of 35 inches. The KTM 390 Enduro R's wet weight is a claimed 351 lb. 

Tech offerings on the Enduro R include a 4.2-inch TFT display with polarization coating, as well as a USB-C charging port. The dash is operated via a four-way joystick on the switchgear, which also includes a dedicated ABS-off switch. The TFT dash allows smartphone connectivity for features like turn-by-turn navigation and music. 

The 390 Enduro R comes with a 4.2-inch TFT display that allows connecting to a smartphone via Bluetooth.

Ride modes include Offroad and Street, with Offroad mode allowing more rear-wheel slip to make lifting the front wheel or sliding the rear wheel easier. Riders also have the option of turning traction control off completely. The bike also comes with launch control, full LED lighting, and adjustable levers. 

All lighting on the 390 Enduro R is LED.

Pricing for the 2025 KTM 390 Enduro R has not yet been announced. Visit the KTM website for more information.
