Ktm 390 adventure x

Well, it's easy to see why ADV bikes are gaining so much traction in a country like ours. Because, from trying road conditions to varying weather, these machines are meant to handle it all. In countries abroad, you'll have to get out of the city to get away from the city, away from the public, to get a grasp of your machine while out in search of adventure. Out here, as you may well know, you just have to go around the block. Which is an adventure on its own. Now if you don't have money for a liter-class or middle-weight adv motorcycle, the sub-500cc ADVs like the 390 Adventure should technicelly be on your radar, because they do make a lot of sense. KTM already has four different variations of the 390 Adventure out in the country, the first one is the 390 Adventure X, which is the most affordable of the four variants and is lacking a certain amount of features, but does get the same tried-and-tested hardware in the form of the engine and chassis as the higher spec variants, and so on. There's a new top-spec version that we'll be testing out as well - the SW version. So, we're going to be checking out the main differences between the models that sit at either end of KTMs 390 ADV spectrum this year, because price-wise, there's a substantial 80k difference between them. Starting off with the KTM 390 Adventure X. Although it's the most affordable of KTMs 390 ADV series bikes at this time, this one still looks identical to the Standard 390 Adventure model which is already sold...

One of the areas where the 390 Adventure X differs is its features. To cut costs, KTM has equipped it with an LCD screen instead of a TFT and the bike misses out on cornering ABS, traction control, and quickshifter as well. However, during our entire duration with the 390 ADV X, we didn’t feel the need to use any of the aforementioned bits.
