For the better part of a decade-and-a-half, KTM has been in a partnership with Indian automotive giant, Bajaj Auto. The collaboration of the two companies has ultimately resulted in the Indian conglomerate holding a 48 percent stake in KTM AG. The real world result of this is that Bajaj handles the production of KTM's smaller-displacement machines, more specifically, bikes with engines ranging from 125cc to 390cc.
That said, it isn't at all surprising that Indian media outlets are the first to pick up the scoops when it comes to developments surrounding KTM's small-displacement range. Indeed, the hottest model to come out of KTM's 390 series as of late just has to be the 390 Adventure. With the release of this bike, KTM seems to have given a lot of people what they were looking for: a lightweight, adequately powerful, off-road-capable, affordable adventure bike. Having said that, KTM just recently updated the 390 Adventure to feature spoked wheels. However, it seems that more updates are in the pipeline.
