Remember the KTM 390 Adventure Rally version that was exposed a few days ago? Recently it turned out that the motorcycle was not the model KTM was testing. It's actually being tested by aftermarket Turtletech with relevant modifications that make the 390 Adventure a more capable off-road vehicle.

It's a project to develop all of this at Turtletech, which claims to be testing a fourth prototype of the 390 Adventure and plans to launch it soon. A variety of modification parts are included. The front part of the car can be bolted to the motorcycle, which can accommodate a higher pull-type windshield and reduce weight.

In addition, the power should be the 373cc single-cylinder engine, with a maximum output of 43 hp/37 Nm, equipped with a quick shifter. However, one of the test cars was equipped with a new exhaust device, also suggesting that the company may also be working to improve power performance by modifying the exhaust.
