It will continue to use the 373cc engine from the 390 Duke and even the 43 hp of peak power and 37 Nm of max torque figures remain identical. Do note that the ADV’s numbers are Bharat Stage VI compliant which means that there has been no drop in this transition.

It gets long travel suspension, knobby tyres, extendable windshield, protective bash plate, higher ground clearance as prominent ADV traits which will help during adventure touring. Other features include ride by wire, traction control, cornering ABS etc.
