Moreover, the company has not released any details yet about the technical specifications of the motor, but it is expected that the small 373.2cc engine compartment might be featured with a two-cylinder unit. Therefore, the power figure and gear ratio might be re-tuned to generate more power output in the comparison of Duke 390. The Adventure version could be featured with a long travel front suspension, semi-fairing at the front with redesigned headlamp, new side mounted exhaust, stiffer swingarm and comfortable seat height.

Being an adventure motorcycle, the price of the machine will be noticeably higher than KTM Duke 390. Some reports suggested that the earlier spy shots of the motorcycle which have seen with a side mounted exhaust was actually the Adventure version in disguise.
