Reading Motorrad & Reisen Magazine I have come across this article.
Apologies if some of the translation is a bit weird.

Since 2017, KTM has been offering models with the Rei-hen two-cylinder called LC8c in the middle class. In the future, people will think double-track in Mattighofen. And already a short time later, the thought of it matured in Mattighofen, in the future in addition to the winding costs. This is already their absence of the first reference to the first occurrence for a few months.

The borehole. The result will be a reduced peak performance, but more accurate data is still speculative. We assume about 60 to 70 hp, as there is a gap in the offer of the Austrians. Due to less power and less weight, less effort must also be made for adequate braking force, which is why only one brake disc will be used on the front wheel in the future. As originally planned, production will take place at Bajaj in India, where future all entry-level models of KTM, Husqvarna and GasGas are to be produced.
The successor of the 890 becomes "Made in China"
In Mattighofen, you can now drive double tracks:
KTM 650 Adventure (top) and KTM 990 Adventure (below)
The stronger in-line two-cylinder models are to be produced closed by CFMoto in China in the future, which also concerns the successor of the 890 Adventure. The first prototypes of this are now also on the road. Although nothing can yet be recognised from the finished design, a look at the technology already leads to the conclusion that almost the entire motorcycle is being newly developed. The core element will be the new, stronger LC8c series twin with 947 cc, as it is also used in the 990 Duke. In this it produces 123 hp, in the Adventu-re version, the engineering area of which is also likely to be used a KTM drives two-track re again in favour of a better new radiator design.

Although she is stylistically based on her adult sisters 890 Adventure and 1290 Super Adventure, the current 390 Adventure hardly met the expectations of the Mattighofener to put a compact, affordable, but also off paved path capable bike on the wheels, was hardly true to the current 390 Adventure. Long before their presentation, they had experimented with a very off-road-focussed concept, which, it seems, was ultimately discarded in favour of the current model.
Significantly revised and off-road-oriented
The successor is expected to start sales in 2025 and current photos of almost series-ready pre-production models indicate that the current concept may have already become obsolete again. Because for the next generation of entry-level enduro, it seems not only the optics, but the same
