KTM Adventure 390 vs Royal Enfield Himalayan 450
Engine details
The same 373cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine that drives the 390 Duke and the 390 Adventure, respectively, is used in both vehicles despite the 390 Adventure’s built to handle rugged terrain. The India-spec version of the vehicle’s engine is paired with a 6-speed transmission with a slipper clutch and a built-in quick-shifter.
The main talking point of Royal Enfield’s tough Himalayan 450LC is the 450cc liquid-cooled motor, which is a significant upgrade over the previous Himalayan. The Himalayan 450 will be the first motorbike from the renowned Indian manufacturer to include liquid cooling, and it may possibly gain from 4V technology.
Features
KTM provides its traditional split LED headlights on the 390 Adventure, which are topped by a small wind deflector. Comparable to the 390 Duke’s instrument cluster. Split seats are provided for the bike. It also has an upswept exhaust to help it better traverse rivers. As an added measure of security, KTM has added cornering ABS, Street and Off-Road traction control modes to the ADV. A straightforward LCD cluster from the KTM 250 Adventure, the older sibling of the upcoming 390 Adventure X, is installed on it. Traction control and cornering ABS are other features the ADV X is missing.
Expect Royal Enfield to include cutting-edge innovations like a switchable traction control system and a ride-by-wire throttle. It uses a mono-shock in the back and an inverted front fork. The ADV has block-pattern tyres and spoke wheels at both ends. A larger front disc, perhaps a 320mm unit with dual-channel ABS, is also seen on the test mule.
Price in India
Starting at Rs. 3,37,043, the KTM 390 Adventure costs in India.1 variant of the KTM 390 Adventure is available.
Himalayan 450 could be offered for roughly Rs 2.80 lakh (ex-showroom) when it is released this year.
