2023 KTM 390 Adventure Review | Spoke Wheels and 390 Adventure X Tested | BikeWale
The 2023 KTM 390 Adventure spoke wheels variant brings a lot of customisation and versatility to the 390 ADV platform. Not only can you tweak the suspension according to your needs, but you can also thrash it around off-road trails without running the risk of breaking the wheels. But, should you spend Rs. 3.60 lakh (ex-showroom) on the ADV tourer or just buy the almost Rs. 1 lakh cheaper KTM 390 Adventure X? Well, that's exactly what we will answer in this video.

How is the suspension of adventure x for city and highway touring
Just curious, what is the wire rack that on the side of the rear wheel.
Great review!! I think only two variants are available in the UK (spoked wheel and non-spoked wheel), but they look like fantastic bikes and good value ! 👍 subscribed to your channel :)

I’m still confused!! 😕I did like SW version but I prefer tubeless tyre bikes. Please suggest something
After purchasing which upgrade would u recommend... Powertronic or fuel x? Any other alternative... Objective being to improve grunt n bhp at all usable rpms

We haven't used either of the two or any other such options. However, these are unlikely to make any significant difference.
I've been looking for a proper review for Adventure X but couldn't find any good ones until now. Perfectly covered every aspect of the KTM 390 adventure series and finally good to see a reviewer who can ride professionally compared to other big channels who show off with gear but donno know how to ride off road (No offense though). Subscribed 😁
Intercepted 650 or KTM Adv. For for semi long touring and with India village road as considering for off-road kind. Just not able to decide kindly help.

Excellent review. I just bought the 390 Adv SW, learning it with all its foibles and qualities. (That model only is available in the US.) Will have to get used to keeping the revs high compared to my previous 650. But very pleased. Thank you!
Great review buddy , i am always waiting for your review cause i am also lil over 6"2 and similar to your structure , so it gives me a clear picture of every bike that i have in my list . Been waiting for this bike from sometime as i am in the market to get one . But again looks like a okaish off roader but lil bad for long rides . I do 70% touring and 30% off Roading . crap i think this will go off the llist .

How much difference does the adjustable suspension really make? Will it be worth upgrading the suspension on an old 2020 model? And you don't need to turn off the MTC everytime man. Just selecting off-road ride mode and offroad ABS is good enough even for deep sand or rocks

Adjustable suspension makes a lot of difference, both on road and off road. The MTC would switch on everytime the bike stalled or the ignition was switched off.

@@BikeWaleOfficial how is the rear shock with rebound settings now adjustable? because the normal one, springs are so stiff, preload adjustments doesn't make any difference. Will the adjustable front suspension fit alloy rims because hubs are different ?
Should we wait for new 390 engine update?
Great review 💯. With the top variant not an excellent value for money, let me wait for the Big Boss, a.k.a. The Himalayan 450, to hit the roads. The wait is not too long. Until then, I will keep meditating 🧘♂

@@royarnab22 that depends on rim , the beading of tubeless tube type is diffrent so are "their rims ", there is chance of sudden loss of air /accident occuring on bump, so buyers beware, don't think all rims will automatically support tubeless, even if any unscrupulous dealers says so and fits tubeless on tube type rim for earning bucks.

Why is that?
It will be stand against upcoming Himalayan 450. But the only problem with RE is the weight, can RE will make a bike in under 200kg , bcoz current Himalayan 411 is 199kg already. And thats why this 390 adv will create a strong point for itself
