Is KTM's update to the 390 Adventure enough to maintain its lead of the class?

@3:04 You are 100% wrong as to the answer to the stalling issue. The answer to the problem is to slip the clutch. You guys with limited off road skills ignore the fact that the purpose of the clutch is to magnify torque and control traction. The pros will rev the snot out of the engine and feather the clutch to walk the rear tire through the terrain. The clutch is not some sort of on off switch. It is for modulating power via slippage.
The complicated toys aren’t necessary and only add to the cost. No small capacity bike needs traction control it’s a gimmick. A speed shifter is worse than a gimmick because it’s pointless off the racetrack. I certainly wouldn’t be choosing to use a quick shifter on loose surfaces. Unfortunately bike journalists have become little more than influences promoting what is fashionable at the expense of what is actually good or necessary. KTM must love you.
I have the KTM390Adv as well as a Taureg 660. I disagree only because the MTC has a place on road in the rain especially when there is oil or other slippery surfaces with which to contend. Those aids are very helpful for new riders and experienced as well. ABS is under rated for on road use. Many times I have felt ABS modulate the rear brake because of dirty pavement. I would rather have ABS modulate the brake than have the rear tire slide due to oil or fluid on the pavement.
I agree that quick shifters are over rated. I usually just blip the throttle without touching the clutch for most of my shifting.
How much do tires change the game ?
i might have missed it but what is your height and weight?
The versys-x 300 also has spoked wheels.
A correct tyre for off the sealed road would be good I think. Stiil, when you are doing seal and loose stone roads this may be the more reliable offering? I'd go for dirt tyre on the rear or trials tyre at least. I found them not as treacherous on the road as many concern about. Wire spoke wheels? Just fine. Quick shifter? pfft! whatever. Really cool 400. I'd take one this year.
I don't think there is a better test rider on the planet. His 'speed' is undeniable, and his character is brilliant. Thanks Donovan.
One thing that will win me over from the Honda cbx 500 is the spoke wheels. Still thinking ...........
Fantastic lil bike greatly underrated
Nowt wrong with dash
And why use quick shifter off road
Cool helmet!! Does work better when it's not cinched up? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You didn't answer the question asked in the title 🤔
Let’s also point out that a company using 509Xs for their off-road tours in South America has pointed out that they have never had a single problem with their cast wheels and tubeless tyres.
I have this bike....i have no idea what this guy is talking about concerning this so called stalling issue.
Have never experienced anything like he describes.
this is months ago

Meh...
