The made-in-India KTM bikes, starting from Duke 160 to the top-end 390 Adventure S, are going to witness a hike in ex-showroom price from June 2026
KTM India is all set to increase the prices of its locally manufactured motorcycle range in the country. While the company has not announced it officially, the dealers have hinted that prices might go up by Rs 4,000-6,000, depending on the bike. The price hike will cover most of the models, right from the Duke 160 to the range-topping 390 Adventure S. However, the big bike portfolio of RC, Duke and Adventure models, which is brought to India via the CBU route, is likely to remain unaffected and retain its existing pricing.
The exact reason behind increasing the prices remains unknown. Though, it is assumed that rising input costs and higher production expenses could have propelled KTM to hike the prices. In a similar move, Triumph had recently made an upward revision in the pricing of its locally developed 350cc bikes. Just so you know, both KTM and Triumph retail motorcycles in partnership with Bajaj Auto in India.
Last month, KTM launched the 390 Duke and 390 Adventure with a 350cc engine in the Indian market. KTM 350 Duke and KTM 350 Adventure are priced at Rs 2.77 lakh and Rs 2.81 lakh, respectively, in the country. Both the prices mentioned before are ex-showroom, Delhi. The company has made it clear that the existing 390 range of motorcycles will not be discontinued despite the introduction of a relatively cheaper 350cc line-up.
The European two-wheeler brand rolled out 350cc versions of the 390 Duke and 390 Adventure in India to enjoy the lower GST benefits of 18 percent. Powered by a 349cc single-cylinder engine, KTM 350 Adventure has max power output of 40.9 bhp at 8600 rpm and peak torque performance of 33.5 Nm at 7000 rpm. The suspension duties are helmed by the same USD front forks and monoshock rear absorbers.
The ground clearance, wheelbase and saddle height remains the same at 230 mm, 1470 mm, and 830 mm. All the other models namely KTM 390 Adventure S (Rs 3.97 lakh), KTM 390 Adventure X (Rs 3.43 lakh) and KTM 390 Adventure R (Rs 3.78 lakh) continued unchanged. Hence, as visible, the 350cc engine powered Adventure version is more than Rs 1 lakh cheaper than the standard model which is equipped with the 399cc engine. In fact, it is even cheaper than the lower-spec X variant by Rs 62,000.
The Duke 350 is also powered by the same 349cc engine with identical power and torque figures. The suspension setup, braking system and fuel tank capacity also remain the same as the 399cc LC4 engine powered version. It is nearly Rs 62,000 less expensive than the 399cc version. KTM initiated this exercise to make the Duke and Adventure range more accessible and affordable for the buyers.
