Ha ha! My wife and I watched this. I commented to her that this guy was a pretty good rider. Then I noticed who was actually riding. I'm a huge fan and Say no To Slow has improved my off road riding a lot. I'm 74 and own a KTM 390A and recently sold my 690 Enduro r in favor of the new Honda crf300l. Thanks for all you do for the world of motorcycling Chris. When I think of proper form, I think of you.

Why would you go to the crf300l when you have the 390? Is it because of the weight? After seeing this video I was thinking the KTM 390 is the magic unicorn do everything bike. This proves it can be trail ridden!

hey men did you bought it as your first bike ?

I've wanted this bike for awhile now but now that I've seen that it can actually hold its own pretty well off reading...I want one even more now. The KTM 390 Adventure really seems to me to be a PERFECT bike. I'd have so much fun with one if I could ever possibly afford it (I cannot).

This was awesome! More videos with 390 pls

What a fun video! Had me grinning from ear to ear ❤️

Cool :) Inspiring new riders to get out and give it a go :)

Love this video. Its fair enough that he dig the shit out of the adv 390. Not only on the big adv bikes like the 790. Atleast we know that the adv390 can also do it. Thank u Chris.

Great video! I am loving it! Well done!!👍

Great riding on some difficult terrain, KTM 390 ADV Awesome motorcycle, Most people don’t realize how capable this bike is. This is a great Continental Divide Bike, 3 months ago I rode it on the Divide it was awesome. I’m done with heavy motorcycles for off road riding. HAPPY TRAILS from TEXAS

Good and inspiring to see this ...as I own an even smaller 250cc (but equally potent) KTM Adv 250...

Nice to see it can go where a dual sport goes. It would be nice to be on the 390 for that long pavement ride to home.

This was awesome! you make it look so easy

Great fun. Great ride(r)!

Cool video as expected from Chris. Personally I'm waiting for the 490 adventure because I think it'll more capable on the road to the trails.

“It’s the rider, not the bike”... one more time, this bike is more capable and very fun to drive, but far from perfect. Thanks Chris!

Loved your long way for bush coffee video long back . Would love if you would be able to produce a video in similar lines with the 390 adventure. Peace

Wow. I didn't think this would be possible with that bike.

I have upgraded stock 130 section tyre by 150 section in my 390 adv does it affect bike performance any suggestions

Best advertisement I've ever seen for this bike. Really showcases how capable it is

Quelles sont les pneus sur la moto?

nice

Knarly woo!

The big worry on this bike is whether one will end up bending the alloy rims. OK, Chris, did ya? Because if you didn't, I doubt I ever will on mine, and it will save me from popping for the spokes. (To be clear, I make the same freaking out a wee bit noises when I ride.)

Light weight adv seems to fit bill for heavy bush rides

What tires?

Ciao , bel video complimenti 💯 ti volevo chiedere ma la moto è originale ho hai fatto la mappatura .

My wife has one and my biggest complaint about it is that the steering hits full lock too soon, and the girth of the wiring harness makes it so that you couldn't turn tighter even if you modified the stops.

Thanks for the content, hope to hear your thoughts on the bike after a few rides. I also think many are wanting the 390cc moto put into a DS frame (WR250R/DRZ400) and at the more affordable end of the market.This would be ideal for those wanting more 50/50, lightweight, but aren't ready to invest in a high-spec Enduro bike yet.

Smaller bike means less weight, the rougher the terrain the more that will be an advantage compared to the larger and more powerfull bikes... There's a reason why mx and enduro use lighter bikes with not that much power. An MXGP 450 might have a bit over 65HP, more power than that is useless. In most cases somewhere around 40HP is more than enough to rip.

0:45 KTM snorkel next on the development list, Chris? 🤿😂

Mr. Birch, why not also consider the KTM690 Enduro R also? Perhaps for a new rider it's a bit much but definitely more capable than 390ADV. Seems the 690 is the black sheep with no place.

I thought the 390 didn't have the rays wheels 🤔

Ktm is an off road runner?

If Motorcycle riding is your job.

It's almost oddly refreshing to see Chris ride without a production team and cinematic film crew. Just to see a gopro filmed actual ride was enjoyable in a different way.

Wonder the wheels were stock alloy or after market spoke wheels. Don't think stock alloys can take that kind of beating.
