The KTM 390 Adventure was created to offer a balance between touring and off-road ability. It's not an easy mix to achieve, and this is the hardest KTM motorcycle for Shumi and Kartikeya to recommend. On MotorInc First, they're discussing what the new 2023 line-ups new 390 Adventure X and 390 Adventure SW models mean for the range, for customers and for the KTM Adventure series.

I often get asked what KTM can do to fix the gap between what the 390 Adventure does and what we expect it to do. First, the SW suggests that the ideal 390 Adventure would split into two parts. One that does touring really well and another that does off-road really well. Sort of how the Rally Kit turns the Xpulse 200 from a casually good off-roader to an excellent, far more serious off-road machine. Why it cannot be done with this generation of the Adventure is mostly to with the frame itself (which is why I keep saying 2025, the model change is a crucial milestone for this motorcycle). We need more suspension travel and more ground clearance to make this as much of an off-roader as the 790 or 890 Adventures. Maybe even a 21" front wheeled model! If you sacrifice the idea of off-roading, then the bones of a good tourer are actually in the 390 Adventure. I'd be fine with the 19" front wheel -it has the utility of handling bad roads and flatter trails better. But what you really need is suspension that allows the 390 Adventure to settle down and do _a lot more_ than the 390 Duke or equivalent on Indian roads (implying a mix of surfaced but bumpy roads). This is what I think the adjustable suspension, had it been standard from the beginning, offered riders. And now, the SW's spoked wheels to me, are a far smaller utility than the adjustable suspension. And the more I rode the SW, the more I concluded that the standard 390 A should _not_ have anything but adjustable suspension today.

I was hoping to buy 390 Adv This Year But After Watching whole Video, i concluded that It doesn't Meet My kind of Needs in An Adv . Maybe I will Hold Out Till Summer Next Year . To see what other kinds Of Adv Motorcycles India Gets And Get Batter Sense Which One Will Meet My needs 😁

Shumi, I rented a KTM 390 for the spiti circuit, rode like a maniac... and I loved it. Especially coming from a Tiger 800 at home, I loved the light weight nimbleness. It is still a very good bike and can be recommended to most of the riders (tourers.). I liked your analysis on the seat height/suspension/frame. You have not gone overboard like the most other reviewers, who just give gospel. You have actually backed your views with analysis. On more suggestion, in Motoinc videos (except this one), your presentation style changed... I personally miss your earlier involved analysis... may be change of style is not needed

@daksh_saroha Год назад

That being said, (and this comes from a place of deepest love) I feel the background wall can be done a smidge better maybe. Its good now, but I think it could've been done better (but hey that's just my opinion). Specifically I feel the pastel white and pale blue: instead of this a plain dark wall with a better visible logo might've looked a tad bit better (even though I understand that a plain wall wouldn't have as much personality as the current one)

@motorinc Год назад

So we did try plain walls but it didn’t work for us and we haven’t gone back to that. Thanks for the feedback though, Daksh. Super good to have people like you watch our work!

Some really valid points raised by you guys here, this is slowly changing my perspective towards 390Adv. Thanks for putting it out there the way you guys have.

I always get hit upon by my rider buddies how I made a mistake getting the regular 390 instead of the adventure. But having ridden both of them, I knew I made the right choice bcz the 390 is also a phenomenal tourer if not better and feels at home in the twisties which is much more usable in the city too. Dont see any reason to get the adv over the regular 390 apart from mild off road capabilities

@rahulmatai8132 Год назад

This used to be a dream machine for me because of 3 reasons, I can tour, It's cheap to maintain, It was reasonable comfortable for luggage and pillion! But life changed - pillion went out of the picture. Suddenly - 4.2Lacs on road started to look steep, (middle class boy troubles). Got something really reasonable as a Used Vstrom 250 and I am very happy with the new found ability of it to really tour. It fits my single bike garage perfectly. It takes me to office - takes me to weekend twisties - takes me out on highways at reasonable 90-100 KMPH (did a 1700Km ride recently to understand that bike well and I was impressed AF). Moral of the story- wanted to wait for Himalayan 450 but that is a long way away and I think it'll also take a while for RE to sort out its niggles from the first batch. So maybe another 2 years until I buy another machine, until then my recently acquired 250SX should serve me well. Btw shumi's advice on used machines and vstrom videos helped me a lot.

@surajnayak136 Год назад

I recently purchased the standard 390 ADV in March 2023 and completed a ride from Mumbai to Leh and back ( With pillion and luggage). The suspension in the initial days felt uncomfortable compared to Himalayan and GS310 but once I got used to it along with the right preload setting, The suspension doesn’t feel like a bother anymore and once you are past that, The package that this KTM offers with the space in the saddle for two, The luggage carrying capacity, The features, The power, The ease of servicing it anywhere in India at a cheap cost start to grow on you. At this point, This is the only worthwhile upgrade for a person who has owned a 200cc bike for last 6 years. Speaking of upcoming competition, Looking at how the current Himalayan and other 350cc models are being priced, I don’t think Royal Enfield will be able to significantly undercut this KTM in price and I don’t think it will match the engine performance of the 390 because then it will be precariously close to the 650cc engines output and I wouldn’t do that if I were RE. I am just waiting for these bikes to launch and the fun to begin( with the comparos)!

I test rode the 390 ADV a few days back and my opinion if it still remains unchanged as the one from a year back. It feels like its going to do touring and off-roading really well. But all that fades away the moment you start riding it. 😅 Will be very interesting what the RE Himalayan and Hero have in store.

@motorinc Год назад

@cosmicid145 Год назад

same. test rode it and all my built up excitement of the 390adv fell flat. suspension was no where near the xpulse200 and the low end grunt was so bad that I could clearly see the bike sitting idle at home as I'd prefer to take the car or cycle for anything other than tours. I guess it's wait and watch mode, wouldn't mind an xpulse400 with better cruisability or a much lighter and faster Himalayan.

@motorinc Год назад

@amodh Год назад

I was initially waiting for Hero and Royal enfield to come out with their 400 CC machines but I just got tired of waiting. I am so glad I bought the 390 adventure X and saved the 60k. My main motive is to tour on this motorcycle (sometimes with a pillion) and not do any off-roading until and unless absolutely necessary. Being a 6' tall guy I have no problem with the seat height, but the main issue I have is the vibrations. I even changed the horribly shaped mirrors to husqvarna's but they still vibrate so much so that I just need to turn my head to check behind me. Other than that, really happy with the purchase. Coming from avenger 220, this 390 engine is just something else.

@motorinc Год назад

Glad you’re out riding! Congratulations Amodh!

@anirudhhhh Год назад

I also got a ADV X recently. After first service the vibrations have settled down to an extent. The bike does not like to go slow. I felt the engine smoothens out a little bit when revs climb. Overall I feel it is a vibey engine. The power is something. The first time I gave it full throttle, I was in 3rd or 4th mid revs. I was almost knocked back and came close to falling off the bike. I was not expecting such a sudden strong pull. I am coming from a Svartpilen. The 390s character is very different from the 250s. It does not feel sane or sensible. Makes me wonder how much of a hooligan the first gen duke 390 must have been.

I love the 390 series. Especially after ktm released the 390 adventure x. It has great cruising speed for Indian highways, more than enough top speed, I like minimum electronics, basic abs is enough for me, tubeless tyres are advantage. It's a good touring bike, lighter, better mileage compared to big bikes.

@anshulshankar5758 Год назад

I think for KTM it was more of a move to be in the people's attention since the 2024 390 has already leaked over the internet, so why would people buy the base 390 and not wait for few months. Was inch closer to buy the adventure x, but shifted to interceptor 650 due to the much better parallel twin and its refinement. Anyway, thanks for the great review.

@vivek1393 7 месяцев назад

I got my 390 ADV last year. Been having a hoot on our roads with it cuz of the engine , the longer- than-Duke suspension travel and the accomodating seats. It's comfortable enough (even 2 up, provided the pillion isn't overweight) on long rides and is engaging on the twisties and more than capable of mild off roading. It fits my requirements pretty well. The only thing I wish was different was my 5 foot 6 height and the exhaust note. It might not be the best at any one thing but for someone who enjoys more than one type of riding and doesn't have the budget for 4 different bikes (for cities, canyons, highways and off road), the 390 ADV is a great pick in my opinion.

I also had the same opinion on the quick shifter in my 390 Adventure, it never worked smoothly in my initial days of ownership. When it worked, it worked like magic, and when it doesn't, I felt it was ruining the whole mood. Infact, I turned the QS option off in my bike for months. But later a thought came, as I had paid for the whole package and somehow I have to figure this out. 😂 With constant practice and experiments, I got that sweet spot where it would work smoothand now I'm happy with the QS. The spark cut off is only for a split second when the contact comes to shift lever and we have to shift through the same time. Its working for me in all the gears up and down, only thing is we have to maintain the RPM between 4-5s. The QS works like charm for me now and I use the clutch only for b2b traffic. I guess it will work for everyone once we start to live with it and figure it out on how to find that sweet spot to shift. I'm one of the those users who does mid level off road and uses it mainly for touring, so the tube tyres in SW is a bit concerning. Hope KTM will bring an option to choose the parts to be replaced than getting a new model from them. Great insights as usual!

@prafulchandra1998 Год назад

I agree with your point. I too have the 390 adv and love to tour on it for hundreds of kms at a stretch. the QS will become really smooth once you are adjusted to using that.

Briefly speaking about my experiences I have a classic 350 and I usually drive 60-70% city and rest touring but now I am planning to go regular touring with my wife so this number might come 50-50 city and touring. I want my next bike to have close to 40 bhp and good ergonomic for both rider and pillion thus thinking to get adv x or scrambler 400 x . I also wanted to include Himalayan 450 but the tube tyres are a turn off for me plus when they do include the tubeless tyres it might cross my bugget of 3.5 on road. Any suggestions or recommendations which to choose or if I missed any bike please do tell… thank in advance and as always great work in making this videos … they are very helpful 😄

Great video. You should also make a separate detailed video on RE Himalayan and its future.

@motorinc Год назад

Until we know what RE's actually going to offer and what price it comes at? We're not into that, honestly

@ranerohit1205 Год назад

You guys call it as you see it. That's what I like about this channel. I get to hear cons of a vehicle ive heard no where else.

Fantastic detailed analysis 👌. I own the 2022 adventure 390 standard model standing tall at 6ft 4inch,As of now I am planning to upgrade with both adjustable suspensions but not the spoke wheels. Still the 2022 alloy has a strong rigorous alloy to tackle offroad stuff not going to compromise on tube tyres. I was not a great fan of himalayan due to its under powered engine,weight & unreliable chassis. But I am definitely optimistic that the himalayan 450 would give a tough fight for ktm interms of practicality & increased power & some 10kg weight increase from the older himalayan. Although KTM would still manage its ground by offering a light weight nimble bike that would have a slight edge over the newer himalayan in terms of Power, better customer service satisfaction than RE which is busy in selling their numbers lacking in number of experienced technicians & timely service delivery. Definitely the sales numbers would be dominated by RE as akways. I request MOTORINC team to bring a drag race video of the upcoming Himalayan 450 vs 390 adventure just like what POWERDRIFT did with duke & interceptor that would be a bomb💥 of a content to watch 😁❤️.

How can you bring so much clarification in one video... kudos to your efforts and R&D..!!!

@motorinc Год назад

Glad you liked that!

@omidadab Год назад

Lovely!! Love what you both bring on the table... always a different perspective. 🙏 was actually thinking why spoke wheels,tube tire and no center stand to make lifer easier for spoke wheels repairs 😅... Loved the addition of adjustable suspension... But being a 390 duke rider... Keeping fingers crossed for Duke's adjustable suspension for the new Duke's..😈 when they come

@motorinc Год назад

Duke it out! :-)

@ashishgondge Год назад

You are making me awaken with concept i never heard of, never thought of making me more aware and rational on many things about bike. I used to think that KTM 390 adventure being a expensive bike and a KTM offering will be best in its segment due to its price and features but your video changed all of my perspective. Thanks both of you. 😊

I did hit the like button within a minute of starting to watch this video and once again you guys nailed it to the core!!! Really wanted to get adv 390 as daily driver considering its off-road LIKE ride quality but now this feels a dicey decision

@motorinc Год назад

Let us know what you choose next!

@gypsyking4234 Год назад

Okay, let me pit things into perspective. The last time I rode a motorcycle was 30 years ago and it was the original Boss - the Suzuki Shogun. I'm not in the market anytime soon for a motorcycle, although to be completely transparent I did come close to pulling the trigger on a Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro but that's another story. I did see the 390 Adventure last year for my kid brother back in India, and I was really keen that he gets one, but....I'm here because I love both of these guys who love and breathe motorcycles. I love their content and the conversational style, crisp format. This video has really cleared whatever doubts I had in my mind about the 390 Adv. I think I'm going to tell my brother to wait until 2025. Absolutely amazing video, guys. Keep up the good work!!

Hello Shumi Sir. Absolutely a fan of you. I do agree for your points. I own the standard version and bought it 3 months back. I ride on tarmac and occasional off road patches with a pillion and luggage, and the bike has served me well. Moreover its a head turner which is a positive point. I would pay the extra above Himalayan anyday for its presence and easy top end speed.

@ramzan2258 11 месяцев назад

Appreciate making such informative video 👏 Quick question I have vstorm sx and looking for it upgrade to get more power for like touring 80% and 20% off-road, can you suggest any machine under 5 lakh except GS310 cos it’s too expensive to maintain

@yogeshavl Год назад

Shumi is right, I rode my 390 standard around 14500kms and just returned from Ladakh ride, last 52km from Hanle to Tso moriri was very bad off road and my Tyre pressure was 29 but actually was 31 due to altitude it was like that. It was very difficult to ride that patch because the suspension and minor change in tyre pressure the feeling was like it's a steel tyre with no suspension. Had to stop every now and then to relax my shoulders.

This is the best way of review... best that I have ever come across... please do it for Ninja 650

@ajayrajan4395 Год назад

Hey Shumi - love ur work, could u guys do atleast a shorts on ur take of the versys 650? The reason I ask is caz we've rarely heard u talk about the older models, mosly caz they were presented by other journalists.

@akshyapadma Год назад

Upgrading from a Himalayan, the first thing I noticed was the bottom end. Changing the front sprocket with the Duke 250 15-tooth one makes it much better to ride. But the vibes in the footpegs and the weird suspension settings doesn’t feel right. So, now I have one more thing to fix my ADV 390, ADJUSTABLE SUSPENSIONS ! But I’ll wait for the new Himalayan 😍

Finally someone spoke about how an Adv x and the SW variant rides. Yes said it damn straight, the X is much more sharper and crisp while riding than the SW variant. I certainly doubt the reliability of the spoke wheels put together. I am quite happy with my Adv x. Got some money to put on some Accesories on my bike and buy me some adventure gears as well. There is no such actual use of traction control orquick shifter in an ADV or the TFT screen as such. I would have been really happy if cornering ABS was there in the adv X but it is quite manageable to be honest. It all really matters on who rides the motorcycle. Anyways happy to see guys come out of your own together. Good luck for your future adventures, and I hope to see you guys anytime if possible. Cheers.😁

@thumpbackmale 10 месяцев назад

Duke 390 or 390 X which is a better buy?Thank you.

@mohitpatil4848 Год назад

KTM should have gone with TVS's BTO theme. Select the configuration and pay as per. That would have been very good option. Maybe not electronics but the hardware like Wheels, Suspension, Seat options could be possible. Maybe the TFT too.

@prasadborkar85 Год назад

Excellent explanation.... Clear thoughts... I am thinking to have a bike which can handle off-roading plus highways fairly well.... I am confused between KTM 390 Adventure and RE Himalayan 411. Can you help?

@KaizerBillimoria Год назад

I have a 390 ADV. Used for 2 months and my first KTM. 1. The QuickShifter+ works like a charm for me. I'm not sure why you say it's iffy. 2. I fully concur that the bike is a tourer and not a real off roader. I mean look at the stock Footpegs angle. It's canted forward, Ready To Race 3. I've done 400 km a day ride on Tarmac and I'm happy about what this bike can do on highways. And I'll keep it on the Highway.

@HariKrishnan70 Год назад

Hi guys , love your videos. I have a doubt , I hoped you answer that in the video. This is it, Being the cheapest 390 available now in the country should one go for the adventure x or pay extra for the Duke? For reference, On road price for Duke is almost 20k over the x in Cochin.
