The 390 Adventure is an off-road-oriented version of the 390 Duke, which boosts power with the same 373.2cc single-cylinder engine.

It fetches you with the Power and torque of 44hp produced at 9,000rpm and 37Nm coming in at 7,000rpm. It resembles the 390 Duke with this performance. The unique feature about 390 Adventure is that it comes with switchable traction control.
