🏍 KTM 390 Adventure India Review | Off-road, Touring, Practicality & More Tested ! | ZigWheels
Рет қаралды 135,154
Күн бұрын- 🏍 KTM 390 Adventure test drive happened in 19 Degrees North, near Aamby Valley
- 🏍 2020 KTM 390 Adventure exhaust sound is a little bit lower than the Duke’s
- KTM 390 Adventure top speed is in excess of 160kmph
- KTM 390 Adventure 2020 price in India is Rs 2.99 lakh (ex-showroom)
The KTM 390 Adventure launched in India recently and we finally rode it. This baby adventure bike from KTM is based on the much beloved 390 Duke, and features the same 373cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine making 43.5PS of power and 37Nm of torque, as well as the same 6-speed gearbox. The 390 Adventure’s trellis frame has been borrowed from the Duke as well, but gets revised steering geometry and a new subframe. It gets long travel WP Apex suspension, which unfortunately in the Indian configuration doesn’t feature any adjustability apart from preload at the rear. Ground clearance is a solid 200mm. The 390 Adventure is running alloy wheels, 19 inch at the front and 17 at the rear, shod with Metzeler Tourance on/off-road tyres. Seat height is a massive 855mm.
Many other components of the 390 Adventure, such as the brakes, are shared with the Duke. But the Adventure gets a whole new electronics package that features a 3-axis IMU. So it features cornering ABS with an off-road mode, lean-sensitive traction control and even an up-and-down quickshifter as standard. The KTM 390 Adventure goes up against the likes of the Royal Enfield Himalayan, the BMW G 310 GS, the Kawasaki Versys-X 300 and to a lesser degree, the Hero XPulse 200.

Adventure doesn't mean "off-road" and from the track they are test riding it proves its much more than your typical "cruiser". So the current name is perfect, and you are boring to suggest every manufacturer should use the same abbreviation. Ps- ktm has adventure R models for more off road focused bikes.

So basically it is just a Touring machine that's what I understand from most of the reviews. Thanks a lot Karthik again for clearing all the doubts about the bike. Top of that how do we explore trails with luggage n all with bad Low end? Where is KTM India Team? Still the bikes are not delivered, if they would like to rename this bike as "Ktm 390 Touring" and get a proper adventure bike in the future. I thought of selling my xpulse after getting this, but I believe its better to keep it for pure off road trails.

Low front suspension travel, lack of low end torque. Not made for true blue offroading. It'd struggle where your Xpulse did a good job in Nepal. And you can't ride KTMs at low speeds. Same issue with the 790 adventure also.

I don't understand why people are screaming foul about 390 Adv. The only problem with this motorcycle is the name 'Adventure'. How many of us will use it for off-roading? The suspension travel, gearing ratio, quick shifter, tank capacity, tyres specs, TC, etc. is perfect for touring - which is what people need. Himilayan is too heavy, unrefined, unglamrous and Xpulse is small and weak and lacks equipment and that's where 390 Adventure sits perfectly. Still Dominar is a very good option for touring.

Funny, the 390GT comment just about echoes my sentiment when I saw the specs and heard people trying to compare it to the Himalayan. The truth is, they only share a similar CC class - beyond that, they're hugely different machines. Without a doubt the 390 will be a better bike on the roads and highways. Just the same, there's no doubt in my mind which is a better machine off the highway. Since the Himalayan can tackle tougher terrain, is much easier to manage off the road, and is sufficient (certainly not perfect) on the road, it would be the clear winner in a shootout in my opinion, especially when you consider that it's 2/3 the cost of the KTM. I'd like to see if the Bajaj/Triumph partnership produces a legitimate contender for the 400-650cc ADV bike range. I would definitely be keen on buying one.
@twowheeledparadox 4 жыл бұрын
Well said. You are right about both the 390 Adventure as well as the Himalayan. As far as India is concerned, it has yet to get the perfect affordable adv bike. The 390 Adventure compromises quite a lot off road while the Himalayan can be a bit underwhelming on the highway. The 390 Adventure was the one bike everyone was hoping would be the ultimate affordable adv bike but it turned to be disappointing. KTM, of all manufacturers, should have done better.

Agree that GT would have been a more appropriate name. About the KTM Adv, I think the 250 would be a more practical choice for most. I havent ridden the D250, but i assume it has more usable lower end torque than the 390. Also unless you normally ride on super smooth highways, or do drags between potholes, the power of the 250 should be enough for light off road trails and even touring in India. I hope you get to ride the 250 soon

Like your honest review. This bike is not a hardcore offroader. An offroader needs to have good lower end torque to pull you out of the troughs. Same power delivery as the duke 390 means you have to throttle hard to get enough torque. Also the duke is not happy at lower speeds, so will be the adventure, the engine is definitely bound to overheat on long uphill offroads unless you build up speed which is impractical.

For a 80/20 combo of tarmac and off-road respectively this works. But if one is purely seeing more of off-road fun then skip this. I knew this when the specs came out. Lacks low end torque and is good when you're doing higher speeds. Same thing with the 790 adventure. One of the best adventure bikes but again you have to riding really fast even on off-road sections to get the most out of it. For regular blokes white looking at more off-road this is a no go imo. PS: Karthik for me is the best reviewer. Been following him from his Autocar days.

Nope not needed spoke wheels are vital for offroading lot of people look at power and forget torque Himalayan has a long stroke engine it's torquey Adventure is road based less Off-road based even it's engine will get over heated during extreme offroading

Himalayan 650 is never going to come, surely not with the 650 twin that RE has now in the interceptor/GT. It's way too heavy and lacks comparable low end toque. Keep your Himalayan and go on as many adventures instead of splurging money on another bike no matter how good it might be.

It depends on where you ride and what your intentions are. KTM is "LESS" friendly for roadside repair vs the RE. self service/repair is very essential when you travel. not to mention that ktm is known for low quality casting parts like side covers and engine cases.

Too some extent you guys are right about few issues spotted on KTM390 Adv off road capabilities . But i think All We need to explore the end of it to understand. Only comparo will help. But I will give you a hint there are many hardcore SUV in this world but not all succeed doing desert dunes.

Kartikey Sir said that his height is 5'6". Is it really so? I thought he's 6 foot at least.

So if you tour on good tarmac and do the track 390 Duke will get the job done and if you want a little more comfort on bad roads and don't even want to consider track days and also if you are 6ft tall, you can go for the adventure variant. Nice........ But that Gearing ratio of 390 duke will definitely be a pain in the A*s, must go for an aftermarket taller sprocket.

I said the exact same thing on Sarge's video a few hours back before this video was uploaded. This is a Duke GT. The perfect touring machine. The safest touring machine this side of ₹10 lacs. And more than enough ammo for 99% of it's buyers. But yes, it isn't as spectacular as the adv 790. We were expecting that to happen. Good touring, spectacular off road. Instead we got spectacular touring, okayish off road. All said and done, it will be a major milestone for the touring scene in India.

Spot on sah! You are sharper than me. The line was coined by Arun Nadar and Ruman Devmane in our office. I happily whacked it off of them. 😬

Unless you plan to do a lot of long distance rides (over 200km) it roads are very bad on your route, I don't see why you should shift.
