KTM showcased the 2027 390 Enduro R at EICMA 2026 in Milan, with updated styling and graphics. The model keeps the 398.7cc single-cylinder engine and adjustable WP suspension from its 2025 debut.
Why it matters
The update signals that KTM is refreshing its entry-level off-road bike through cosmetic changes rather than mechanical revisions. Buyers weighing the model will need to watch whether pricing holds at the outgoing 2026 level.
The 2027 model claims 44.4 horsepower, 28.8 lb-ft of torque and a 364-pound curb weight, with 10.7 inches of ground clearance and a 35.0-inch seat height. KTM has not yet disclosed US pricing for the updated version.
The players
KTM
KTM is an Austrian motorcycle manufacturer known for its off-road and enduro lineup, including the 390 Enduro R.
The details
The 2027 390 Enduro R uses flexible polypropylene bodywork, a 2.38-gallon metal fuel tank and a 4.2-inch TFT display. Its mechanical package, including the 398.7cc single-cylinder engine and adjustable WP suspension, carries over from the model's 2025 debut.
Timeline
2025: Debut of the mechanical package carried into the 2027 model.
2026: Outgoing model carried a $6,049 MSRP.

2027: Updated model year with refreshed styling.
Roadmap
The 2027 390 Enduro R extends the platform KTM introduced in 2025 by updating appearance while keeping its mechanical base unchanged. The approach reflects a manufacturer focused on refining its sub-500cc off-road entry rather than reengineering it.
Buyers comparing entry-level enduro bikes will need to confirm US pricing once KTM announces it, since the outgoing model's $6,049 MSRP is the current reference point. The 2027 changes are cosmetic, so owners of the 2025 or 2026 version should not expect mechanical differences.
The takeaway
For riders, the 2027 390 Enduro R offers the same mechanical package as its debut, so the decision rests on styling preference and the eventual US price.
