But, given how highly electronically equipped the 390 Adventure is, the manufacturer could ask a premium of Rs 50,000-60,000 over the 390 Duke which could translate in an ex-showroom in Rs 3 lakh ballpark.
The 250 Adventure misses out most of the electronic gizmos but gets a switchable dual-channel ABS.

The 43mm upside-down forks in the front, as well as the rear shock absorber, have been sourced from WP.

The motorcyle continues to be equipped with ride-by-wire like the other 390s in the family.
The electronic suite includes inertia management unit based cornering ABS which is completely switchable and traction control as well.

The state of tune will be BSVI compliant and other changes are expected to be in the exhaust system of the 390 Adventure.
