Who the heck told you its the bike every older KTM rider hates? I'm one of the blokes who still has his 2012 200 Duke, I was one of the blokes who gave feedback to KTM engineers to iron out the gremlins that were found on the D200. Majority of us "older KTM riders" are more into dirt and off road riding, that too using street bikes with asphalt tyres cause we never had access to proper off roaders in India before. An offroader like the 390R is what we asked for since the first news came out about KTM launching in India more than a decade ago. Heck we still can do circles around you on our old bikes. We are not dead or gonna be old 😂
I really hope that the motorcycles will still come onto the market after the KTM crisis. I didn't order any other motorcycles in the winter because the first photos of the new 390 were already online.
The KTM 390 Adventure X lacks several key features compared to the S and R versions. It does not have traction control (MTC), cornering ABS, multiple riding modes, cruise control, or off-road ABS and Supermoto mode. The display is a basic LCD instead of the TFT color screen, and it does not support Bluetooth connectivity or the KTM My Ride app. The suspension is a non-adjustable WP APEX setup with 200mm travel, compared to the fully adjustable 230mm system in the R and the more advanced setup in the S. The X version uses cast aluminum wheels (19-inch front, 17-inch rear), unlike the spoked wheels in the S (21-inch front, 17-inch rear) and R (21-inch front, 18-inch rear), making it less suitable for rugged off-road riding. Additionally, it only has standard dual-channel ABS without the advanced braking systems found in the R and S. While it is the most budget-friendly model, it is primarily designed for paved roads with limited off-road capabilities compared to the S and R versions.
Kove 450 dry weight 155 without electrinic. This KTM have cruise control, quickshifter, cornering ABC, different drive modes and more. And on it you can travel
@MadDriver55 Dry weight is an ultra competitive 145kg. 2 forward and 1 rear petrol tank take the capacity to a stage completing and continent crunching 31 litres. It is possible to isolate one tank to use as water storage as per rally rules. It's 145kg mate I own one and weighed it , look at any kove website and TH-cam videos , maybe do some research before commenting, the KTM is a turd even has same suspension that's on a duke I know which I would have , and I'm a KTM owner
@MadDriver55 the 165kg weight on the KTM is dry , the kove has Bosch electronics and abs , as far as ride modes I it doesn't interest me , my KTM adventure 790 adventure R I have I switch everything off , if you are any good you would , anybody any good wouldn't use anything, hardly going to highside you with a engine that couldn't pull the skin of custard and a heavy turd with road suspension
Nice improvement but I don't like the low exhaust!! It's not a street bike like the Duke or even the current 390 ADV which has a fairly proper exhaust position. What about the dust, dirt, mud, rocks and water one might traverse while riding? What happens then???
On the contrary. If one intends riding mostly tame trails and roads the underbelly exhaust is a big benefit because soft luggage can be used without any risk of it catching fire or melting. The load can be carried evenly and closer to the bike. Much better.

Apart from the strange design as usual, headlight is hideous, seat has a strange shape, but off-road bike with the exhaust exit under the engine!!!!! Are you serious?? ready to race, but don't cross rivers......
😏 When I bought my first KTM it was because it was the leader. This is a desperate attempt to compete with CF or KOVE. This bike is an admission of defeat.
@ That adventure s is named as adventure 390 in Europe , don’t even think we get all the toned down version the spec which u guys are getting is also made in India.
@@MotoCampAdv not going on sale in INDIA ... Ktm India and Ktm has complelty LOST IT ...THISIS SUCH A NO BRAINNER . KTM INDIA 😓 WHERE DID YOUR BRAIN GO
Do you ride the graphics or the bike? Are you complaining because the S is watered down or because the image you want to present to the world is not up to visual standards?😂😂😂
I have the current 390 Adventure and indeed, on highway it's a pain. Doable but not pleasant, and would definitely benefit from a cruise control. Although as soon as the asphalt ends, it feels like fish in the ocean.
The bike everyone wanted , the bike every older KTM rider hates. KTM will survive if they make these bikes right with good q.c. and customer support

I’m on my 60’s, been riding ktm for years and this is exactly the bike I want
@kevingarden6087 well for years "KTM" guys have said "the 390 isn't really a KTM" including the stealership I got mine from a few years ago.
3.3 billion in debt.
We'll see
@@johnparadise4747yeah "if" is a key word

Can't wait to ride it in Vietnam. ❤
Here's an affirmation: When Design saves a company!
is the seat still made of slate and concrete.
When adventure X going launch ? I am waiting for it.
being released late summer most probably after the riding season. mid summer would be a lot better and make sense.
Why is the exhaust so low on them. Would be better high mounted on an ADV bike!
Yes it will be bad option for water crossing
Isnt it 165 0:42 kg? My kove 450 is 140kg 20kg difference is a bag of cement, crazy

@ You talking about Kove 450 rally standard? Can you travel on it?))
@MadDriver55 yes that's what it's designed for long travel close to 400 miles on a tank
What about 250 adv upgrade..
Nice improvement but I don't like the low exhaust!! It's not a street bike like the Duke or even the current 390 ADV which has a fairly proper exhaust position. What about the dust, dirt, mud, rocks and water one might traverse while riding? What happens then???

Don’t stall during water crossings 😂
@ very VERY VERY true 😬
Arey u sure 14 liter tank because the previous model comes with 14.5 liter tank and this one looks big
Apart from the strange design as usual, headlight is hideous, seat has a strange shape, but off-road bike with the exhaust exit under the engine!!!!! Are you serious?? ready to race, but don't cross rivers......
Great! A niche product in a niche market. This will certainly pull KTM's head out of the noose!
Really don't know where you have been for the last few years.............
Ktm 390 adv r ❤🇮🇳
R version is launching in india??
Nope, they didn't
Always delivers before brand does 😅❤
Aare price kyu nahi bata rahe bass promo video aur post hii dalte raho!! Haad ho gayi hai

Great video! Check out our license plate hider which is also a fender eliminator all in one 🤯
Ktm 390 r sale for india please ❤🇮🇳
So in India there is adventure s for best of both worlds
😂you mean a watered down version that many Westerners would not touch... because they have standards and know their motorbikes.
@ That adventure s is named as adventure 390 in Europe , don’t even think we get all the toned down version the spec which u guys are getting is also made in India.
What the Adventure R only. Will not buy the Adventure S . Rather buy the bmw 450 gs. It's adventure R or nothing from ktm india.
Spot on. Don't buy the watered down 'Indian' version.
390 ADV S has the worst graphics amongst all variants 😢
@@TripuraRakeshh so buy the R it's the best one anyway
@@MotoCampAdv not going on sale in INDIA ... Ktm India and Ktm has complelty LOST IT ...THISIS SUCH A NO BRAINNER . KTM INDIA 😓 WHERE DID YOUR BRAIN GO
Yes. looks like a last minute design on S. And R won't be available in India
Do you ride the graphics or the bike? Are you complaining because the S is watered down or because the image you want to present to the world is not up to visual standards?😂😂😂
Great vid! Check out our motorized license plate flipper which is also a fender eliminator all in 1 🙂
An adventure r with an exhaust low enough to drown the bike in a puddle “great”!!!
I
It doesn't depend on exhaust rather the air intake, noob
no wonder the went bankrupt ---starkvarg ex
WANT WANT WANT 🐸🐸🐸
Singel piston disaster.
Still a thumper so I doubt it's going to be a nice highway bike
I have the current 390 Adventure and indeed, on highway it's a pain. Doable but not pleasant, and would definitely benefit from a cruise control. Although as soon as the asphalt ends, it feels like fish in the ocean.
Should have been a 450 😎🍻
