Is the KTM 490 Adventure a dead duck?
geeta kumari 15 January 2025 07:35
With a claimed 50 hp on tap, the KTM 490 Adventure was one of the series' most anticipated middleweight adventure bikes, filling the gap between the 390 and 790. But the latest news is that KTM may have canceled the 490 platform entirely. This has left many adventure riders wondering what happened to this promising bike and what it says about KTM’s future lineup. The rumors have started debates about whether KTM's strategy is right, what market demands are, and whether a 500cc adventure bike makes sense in today's market. There is a case to be made for the 390 being powerful enough for A2 license holders, and there is a case to be made for a more capable middleweight option. This discussion also takes a look at KTM's partnerships with Bajaj and CF Moto and what these will mean for the brand's forthcoming offerings.

Man, I'm bummed if it's true. I was really hoping for something more powerful than the 390 without going straight to the 790.
