Engine Displacement: 398.7 cc
The Enduro R is powered by the latest generation LC4c engine. This 399 cc single-cylinder unit is shared with the new 390 Duke but is re-tuned for better low-end tractability. The SOHC architecture makes the engine more compact, allowing for the bike's slim, rally-inspired profile.
Max Power: 45 PS @ 8,500 rpm
With 45 PS (approx. 44.4 BHP), the Enduro R offers explosive power for its weight. In the context of Nepal's steep trails, this power-to-weight ratio allows the bike to "pop" over obstacles and maintain momentum through deep sand or mud.
Max Torque: 39 Nm @ 6,500 rpm
Peak torque of 39 Nm arrives relatively early, providing the "grunt" needed for technical climbs. The engine's linear power delivery ensures that the rear wheel finds traction even on loose gravel surfaces typical of the Mustang or Manang regions.
Top Speed: 160 km/h
While designed for dirt, the Enduro R can reach a top speed of roughly 160 km/h. However, due to its upright "sit-on-top" ergonomics and lack of wind protection, highway cruising is most comfortable at around 100-110 km/h.
Mileage: 29.4 kmpl
In real-world testing, the 390 Enduro R delivers approximately 29.4 kmpl. Its small 9-litre fuel tank is designed to keep the bike narrow and lightweight, though it may require carrying extra fuel for long-distance Himalayan expeditions.
