The KTM 390 ADV is a BEAST for Enduro Riding 😮 

yep I am waiting for the new 390 adventure, it will be my first bike

Yep that and the Dominator exhaust system. Those 3 mods together add a ton of low down grunt.

😂 Dude is a pitbull. Doesn't know when to quit. I had to half drag him away from that hill climb lol.

Yeah even with mud I don't really see a need for the high fender. There's a big enough gap that it never gunk ups that bad.

getting better at those clutch pops 😁

He's an amazing rider. I think we just figured out that the Twin is just too big for these trails lol.

@@furadride852 Aye. I had a Tenere 700, which was great for offroad, but too heavy for me, riding solo, to drop. It's funny, the other day I was riding a light trail on the 390 and it crossed my mind, how well would I have done in enduro (I used to race a bit in the 90's on a cr250, 4 hour races). A well sorted 390 and a fit rider could do ok in certain classes I reckon, especially the road legal class, but overall, for a 4 hour enduro, it's just too heavy by a good 50kg.

Oh for sure. I really only started labeling our riding as enduro riding cause I don't know what else to call it. I don't like the term trail riding because I feel like that encompasses a lot of riding that is much more novice level like fire roads or 2 track.

@@furadride852 I get that completely. Be interesting to try one in maybe a 2 hour enduro though. I double dare you :)

😅

hey hey that's actually just my S22 Ultra.

Thanks! I have the powerparts skid plate. I know it gets a lot of hate but I think if you don't put the entire weight of the bike on it it's fine.

@@furadride852 Much appreciated. I like your rationale approach to these things (e.g. the front fender). And based on the type of riding you're doing, I think you're a testament to the fact that a heavy, over engineered skid plate is not a necessity.

yeah I feel like people get carried away with the skid plates sometimes. My riding buddy has the stock skid plate and we ride all the same stuff lol. It's broken in a couple of places mind you but still functional.

Thanks! I think the 300L is a great dual sport but I wouldn't wanna ride one a lot on the highway. That and it would probably be more expensive to upgrade the suspension VS the 390.

@@furadride852 thanks for the input! Real life experiences like these are just what I look for. 👍

this is more south near Boise.
