Our Review:
The KTM 390 Adventure is definitely worth considering in its segment. It offers impressive power, a high-quality build, and, simply put, it’s one of the best in its class. However, it lacks cruise control, which makes highway rides slightly less comfortable for long-distance touring.

FAQ in Google:
The 390 Adventure is designed for both off-road and long-distance touring. It offers a comfortable seat, windscreen, and advanced electronics like Quickshifter+, but adding an aftermarket seat cushion or accessories may enhance comfort for extended rides.
While the bike has advanced features like Traction Control and ABS, it is also lightweight with manageable power, making it suitable for beginners who are transitioning from smaller bikes. However, its taller seat height may be challenging for shorter riders.
- While the WP APEX suspension on the KTM 390 Adventure is high-quality, it lacks full adjustability (such as compression or rebound settings). Riders may need to look into aftermarket solutions if they desire more custom suspension tuning.
