KTM 390 Adventure to get wire spoke rims

Branded under KTM PowerParts, the kit includes all the things you need to convert your alloy wheels to spoked rims. Pricing for the same has not yet been announced.

KTM has now introduced spoked rims as a purchase-able accessory. Branded under KTM PowerParts, the kit includes all the things you need to convert your alloy wheels to spoked rims. Pricing for the same has not yet been announced.

The 390 Adventure is targeted towards off-road focused clientele. On bad roads, the spoked rims can take a lot of abuse and still ensure that the bike is in a rideable condition. They are easy to fix as well (compared to alloy wheels). Alloy wheels can crack on off-road trails.

The kit includes front and rear disc brakes, rear sprocket and wire spoke rims. The inclusion of brake discs and the rear sprocket in the kit could mean that the bike maker has used different parts from their parts bin.

The 390 Adventure was launched at a price of Rs. 2.99 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). The bike is powered by a 373.2cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that produces 43 BHP @ 9,000 rpm and 37 Nm @ 7,000 rpm. The engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox via a slipper clutch.

In the KTM line-up, all big bikes except the 1290 SA and 890 Adventure R have spoke wheels.
