No main stand for advs is most senseless trend in industry

The stand costs you ground clearance and adds weight. Hence manufacturers avoid it

It adds weight to motorcycle and why would you want to carry extra weight in an already heavy motorcycle. Plus side stands are enough with a side shoe extender.

As someone who owns the previous ADV 390, I can't wait to get the suspension and spoked wheels set. I have bent the alloys twice on hardcore offroads and it costs a bomb and especially the offroad performance on sand and gravel will greatly improve as we can go lower on the tire pressure without being scared of bending the rim anymore. Can't wait to try out and kit it on my bike! Excellent review brother.

Nice review! Seems you had loads of fun 😊. 2 questions - 1. With new engine ready, isn't this engine at the end of it's life cycle? I wonder why KTM didn't launch 390 ADV with new engine. 2. For primarily city use, is X variant comfortable in terms of suspension and gearing? We have seen with TVS BTO, Xpulse and now KTM, adjustable suspension or rally kits don't cost much. It's the competition which makes these OEMs launch such variants closer to the launch of new models by their competitors. With Bajaj Triumph and new RE bikes on their way, KTM has grabbed the moment. Otherwise, chal raha hai, chalne do ..was the policy.

Its all about how you change gear. For any high revv engine, never expect low end torque at higher gears. You have to pro active when it comes to changing gears in existing ktm models Bcz, peak torque is generated at 7000pm (in 390). Which means, really lacks low end Punch. So when it comes to slow speed in the city, ktm is very happy at 1st to 4th gear.

Best video on the internet rn.. 🛜 The review is on point 💯 After riding Royal Enfield Electra for 9 years i upgraded to KTM Adventure 390 two years ago and needless to say i am loving every bit of it.

Thanks. The rims only support tube type tyres
Being an owner of bs4 d390, these were my exact thoughts on X. I ain't spoiled by these electronics the rawness seems more fun. Tc not required it's more fun when it steps out. Who needs a quickshifter on an adv?? Anyways they're still not upto mark. Dual channel abs is more thn enough. Never required corneing abs on my d390 even after scrapping the pegs out and this being adv cornering abs will hardly add any value to me. And lcd panel will do just fine. Always liked the raw character of older 390's, and the adv-X seems more fun for being so close to the older 390s. Ktm should have launched the X variant at the very first. Instead of introducing features like quickshifter that's just not upto the mark.
Currently owning an RTR 200 4V, but this appeals more to me that I can take this most places. I think twice when I have to take my current ride on a rough patch. But I am ready to wait to gather that 400k required to bring it home.

Would you approve of an Outex conversion treatment for the Spoke Wheels to make them properly tubeless. This is the one key thing that’s stopping me from biting the bullet on the SW version.
