Yes! to everything you said. I have the 2023, with the onroad & offroad modes. These do the job in altering ABS & TC behavior, so no need to fuss further with the menu. Learned here that the earlier model has 2 rear DC outputs and the front one. 2023 only has the one on the instrument panel, so that's a downgrade. Otherwise, all good.

I just bought a 2020 390 Adventure with around 3k miles on it. It already had multiple upgrades, all the things you disliked :) I took it to KTM world in GA. last week and it was a great ride, perfect on all the trails.

Thanks for the vid. That looks like a great playground where you’re riding the 390. Thanks for the info.

Agree with most everything in this video. Hopefully you’ll be able to get the updated ride modes software soon. The MTC will still turn itself back on. But the offroad MTC and offroad ABS work really well. I’ve ridden about 800 miles offroad, and haven’t had a reason to completely turn off MTC. The offroad mode allows plenty of spin, and allows locking up the rear brake at will while keeping ABS on the front wheel.

agree with your summary!

She looks so pretty in the snow !!

Cool review. Nice bike

Great video, got my -23 390 in February and totally love it for most of the reasons you mention plus that the motor is a fun little piece… great power for the size and very much ready to race :) Cheers from Sweden 🇸🇪

Nice video. And can agree with what you said too. I wanted the 2022 model but i liked the colour scheme of 2021 orange and white. Had a VFR800 before so i wanted somethimg smaller not as fast and lighter. And i tell you as much as i loved my VFR my KTM puts more smiles on my face. Am based UK also some video uploaded from on it sorry not the best but just not trying to be lol.

Cool vid.

I’m just about to buy this model and so looking forward to it! I haven’t ridden for 17 years. Used to have a Honda Hornet 600 then a Kawasaki Z1000, but now want a smaller bike. I was going to go for the BMW G310gs but it seems rather lacklustre compared to the KTM.

I just bought my Ktm adventure 2022 brand new and the off-road and ABS doesn’t reset when stalling out while riding. Only issue I have is finding the friction zone when going from a complete stop. I’ve had my bike for a week now and seeing that reviving at 3k-4k rpm is best for finding the friction zone . This engine loves running at high rpm .

1) Are the handlebars you installed a direct replacement without mods?

Seriously thinking bout getting the 23 390 adv, got the 22 Duke390 and very impressed, I think I`ll trade in for the 23 390adv. I love kTm😁

I bought the 2023 SW version and yeah the bluetooth is crap, the chain is junk, they forgot adjust or install some things properly and the pegs are just wrong and 99.9% of people have to put bar risers on it. The seat is too tall and the screen is average. Apart from that its a great little bike! lol

I want one. Was going for bmw gs 310. I changed my mind about the high maintenance costs and soft suspension. Bmw is still a great option. I'll make my decision at the showroom, trying both out.

Subscription! That is exactly the reason I won't buy another KTM. They can stick it where the sun don't shine for that kind of nonsense.

fully agree Chain sucked Best upgrade is solid pre stretched chain Its great bike overall

Thanks for the review! I have the same bike but if I may ask, what kind or brand of the Rear tire are you using? Is it your choice for off road? Is still have the TKC original tires on

I’m gonna need a link to
