KTM's best decision to date was to launch the X variant.
Are you kidding me?😂 X is the same as standard, they launched the SW variant.
Yes but it has a height issue
@@sourcevines369what's your height ?
With the X variant in the market, KTM should add the adjustable suspensions in the standard variant as well. Just like in international market, only diff will be spoke wheels and alloys.
I"ll have the X, would upgrade suspension after paisa comes, also the tyres. 50-60k would help for riding jacket for both me and pillion as well. I dont fancy corners at high speed. Never trust gravels and potholes in corners and upcoming traffic, so keeping the right hand sane is the only option for me
Sensible comment detected
Pls help me regarding the benefit of Corning ABS does it really required and essential??
Thanks
I dont understand why almost everyone is sad it has MRF tyres. even if you have metzler, it will last you only around 15k right? after that who is going to spend 30k to put the metzler again? even if you are putting the metzler you can do the same to x as well right?
They should allow for customizing ... for example i would take the 390X with the Adjustable suspension & Alloy rims. That's perfect combo for me.
🔥
Add better tyres, fuel X lite and it's a bomb of a machine
Finally a good video on the adv 390 that actually makes sense thankyou 👍🏼
There should be only two variant X & standard. Rest everything should be available as Official accessory or power part.
Ideal choice for me would be X variant with upgraded suspension setup & Spoked wheels.
Tbh Electronics feels more like hindrance instead of aid in 390vadv.
X with adjustable sus is the best combo which will be possible in coming months
hi can I get SW variant after that can I swap alloy for that like adjustable fork with alloy ? its make expense but just asking. its possible I love the orange color
Yo cant we get adjustable suspensions on the x fitted later and just swap the tyres ?would that be cheaper or just the sw would do fine then ?
I thought the traction control stayed off from 22 onwards? If that's what you wanted. Very confusing some say they fixed it and your saying it comes back on everytime it stalls? Could someone give some more feedback on this please.
the sw, changing the tubed puncture that too without a centre stand.....all the best
does SW varient comes with low seat height ?
Purchase X and replace it's suspension with SW and you will have a wonderful bike 😊
Is it possible. What will be the cost?
@@rahulkk007 rear is 5k and front is 22k
just buy sw then
Was interested in buying 390adv but was confused with all those variants. Thanks to your video, no more confusion! Now I know that none of these variants are perfect yet so not going for it anymore! 😊✌️
The X variant with the adjustable suspension will be a superior choice, although u don't get it in stock condition, but practically it should be the best bike
For longer rides like 2000km round trip for every 6 months, whether 390 adventure standard or adventure x is suggested?
Rides include straight + mud roads + riding in rain + offroad route like in manali to leh ?
Can I convert spoke wheel version to
TUBE LESS. ?
IF SO HOW ?
IF POSSIBLE THEN I WILL BUY SW THE DAY I GET THE CONVERSION INFO.
I dont understand why they didnt give adjustable suspension with alloy standard one.
7:55 or you can just swap out the suspension, im very sure they can be retrofitted in the std version.
can we change sw tyre to tubeless spoke
Does the bike brakes good the corners also ?I mean do we really need cornering ABS ?if No,then X is just good
On the contrary, I've had very good experience with the electronics, especially the QuickShifter+
Once you spend enough time with your ride, you will start appreciating how confidence inspiring they are.
Why not make it as a customization option like pick and drop isn't it will be better for both manufactures and customer.
himalayan vs 390x should be next comparison including cost of ownership. or should we wait for himalayan 450 .
Appreciate the video. You should have Called out ktm for not providing alloys on adjustable suspension.
Any New version for ADV 390 is coming just like DUKE 390 ??
Please tell me
Dont worry of flat tire with tube in SW just put a duct tape inside the wheel around it and bwalla u have a spoke wheel tubeless type instantly
I want to do touring, which one is better
Definitely agree it should be called the 390 ADV Rally
KTM should had the option of choosing alloys wheels against spokes wheels in SW variant. That would be more attractive for wide range of buyers. I would prefer the adjustable suspension but not the spoke wheels cozs I know how much trouble you will get in case of puncture.
For sure , I would really love KTM to offer Duke 390 adventure sw
Don't know why there is so much hate about the quick shifter, I use it on my adv 390 on a regular basis and I just love it. but yes you do need to give it some time and play with it to understand which RPM range the shifter works the smoothest.
Can you give some idea for the rpm range and the way u up shift and down shift?
Quickshifters usually are meant to work good in almost the entire rev range but they should def work at higher revs, which this KTM one doesn't. It is a mechanical gear shift aid more than anything else. Hence our disappointment with it.
@@arnavchandrabajpai blip the throttle when you upshift... It'll feel much smoother
@@porkoholic i face more issues with down shifting even when i close the throttle, very notchy
Unnecessary adding up of SKUs. Just keep the X and STD variants. And provide the suspensions and spoked wheels as power parts.
x variant with adjustable suspension ❤❤❤❤❤
The Standard variant needs the adjustable suspension
I wanted all the electronics along with the adjustable suspensions but not the spoke wheels. Now I'm really confused. My mind is telling me to consider the X variant but don't want to miss on the electronics either.
Buy the standard and change the wheels to tubeless kit
Looking for an ADV and it’s in my shortlist. Will use it mainly for commuting and highway touring.
Few things concern me- I’m not someone who rides aggressively fast. Just want the torque on lower RPM.
Also suspension should soak in all bumps.
And the seat should be comfortable for longer rides.
Don’t know if KTM 390 ADV will fit into it.
I don’t mind getting the SW and swapping the tires.
There's some interesting choices, 310 GS, Himalayan. There's also a Himalayan 450 coming too
If you're tall like me, then that automatically rules out a lot of bikes in the same segment like the dominar 400 and gs310. The seating position on the adv is just unmatched.
@@Vidur11 ok. do you own it ?
@@TomalBhattacharjee i don't own any bike yet, but I've driven about 700km on a variety of different bikes. The most being on a Himalayan and then a dominar 400. I personally don't like the looks of the Himalayan, it feels ancient and the analog+digital combo just doesn't do it for me - neither does the circular headlamp. But you could consider the upcoming 450 if you're not finicky like me. I loved the look and feel of the adv so I'll buy either the X or std for sure - just tryna watch videos like these to figure out which one to zero in on :D
@@Vidur11 ok. RE 450 looks promising but I’m not an RE fan coz of their quality issues. Another bike interested in the CB500X. Just the cost. !
Standard varient me sw Wale adjustable front or rear suspension lagwa sakte h kya ?
Or inki cost kitni rahegi ?
Because I don't like SW varient colour and Spoke wheel for puncture problem..
You can but the cost of suspension upgrade is certainly going to be more than 20k, you're better off buying the SW and buy alloys.
Good one indeed 🤝
KTM is on fire❤, they're like, I'm the boss here after the Adv 390 SW & Next gen 390 Duke launch.
They should add a "Dakar Rally" varient as well
X has the best color for my eyes, but it is sad to see SW doesnt get tubeless rims.
Yes, the X looks the hottest. Tubeless alloys are expensive
@@zigwheels tubeless spokes*
Ktm sw best bike reason Hard surface in spoke are adjust
Beautiful Machine ❤🔥😍
Can we fit adjustable suspensions in x variant????
You can but warranty gets voided
Nothing Could be Better than Adventure 390 At this 400 CC segment
can the suspension be upgraded in standard variant?
Yes
Can you do a 2023 xpulse 200 4v vs the older one in terms of upgrades worth or not please???
❤ from Pune...
We are waiting for the new bike to arrive, so that's def on the cards
I am interested in the SW variant for adjustable suspension. Is it possible to swap spoke wheels for alloys ? Any possible issues with that
It is possible but you'll have to pay quite a lot for alloys and it will void warranty
@@zigwheels thanks for the reply. Another option is to buy normal variant and fit adjustable suspension. Is that possible? I really need adjustable suspension and alloy wheels
Yeah, very useful review....I m not a big fan of electronics as u said its a hindrance than enabler!! I would go with X or SW with Alloy!!😂
They should have given adjustable suspension n spoked wheels as accessories which would have attracted many!!! Many would keep a spare at home , change n ride as per mood....than having two bike😅❤
However, I ❤ KTM adv, may shift from Dominar....!! Just waiting for Himalayan 411 n Bajaj-Truimph bike . 🎉❤
How much lower the lower seat version?
20mm lower seat height and ground clearance
Any possibility of ADV 250 X launching?
😁
Can I ask the showroom to build a 390Adv SW with alloy wheels?
You'll have to pay extra for the alloys but yeah, you can
I’ll buy X and swap SW suspension
Ooh that's interesting as well but then you'll void warranty
How's the X more pliant than the Std???
Different suspension
Put the adj suspension and spoked wheels on the X model
That’s what a true off-roader need rather than electronics
Company know how to sell all there variants 😂
Do we have option to add adjustable suspension on other variants ?? If yes The X with adding adjustable suspension is great . Would learn with MRF and when worn out will slam on Metzelars .
You can but you'll void the warranty
Awaiting for comparison between Tiger660 vs Versys vs Vstorm
Go with the Vstorm if you have the budget. Otherwise the Versys. Problem solved ✌️
Vstrom 650 is no more, it's now 800. And between the versys and tiger, we suggest the Kawasaki.
Buddy the alloy wheels is not a straight swap on the SW Vern. One has 6 bolts and other has 5 going through the discs. There’s an entire clutch of parts you’ll have to change to achieve the swap. Then the warranty will be questionable too because KTM is not formally approving of this change.
Warranty will be voided and you will need spacers
@@zigwheels A bit more than that but its academic given warranty issues. I had done some pricing of all smaller parts and it had come around to approx 26k for the swap.
Heard rumblings that they’ll release a separate rally kit in the very near future which will work with existing Alloy wheel KTM. Kit will likely comprise a longer travel (fully adjustable) suspension, perhaps handlebar risers, a longer side stand for the revised suspension etc. This should be a KTM-blessed, bolt on kit for existing alloy wheel bikes. Waiting for this to come through, fingers crossed. Will definitely make sense if alloy wheels are super important to anyone. Won’t be cheap though, but worth it regardless IMO if they can deliver the above.
This is a good segment but when you take two other anchors and discuss each motorcycle, that is is more amusing.
Yeah, was missing my anchor partners. Will make use of them in the next video.
Doesn't the standard and X variant have the same shocks??
no
No they don't. Both get different suspension with different spring rates
X has big piston folks at the front, the rear monoshock is similar
ADV 250 vs ADV 390x which is better for daily city commute and weekend touring ?
Or instead you just buy the adv390x and swap out the suspension to the adjustable once when u have devoloped the skills to handle more
You can do that but again you'll void warranty
@@zigwheels nope, when KTM will offer it to the already existing owners of the standard variant
Who else is buying the 390 x based on this person's amazing skill of articulation
4.L to 4.5L on road price across india for standard and rally this is such a humongous pice for a single cylinder motorcycle 😱 that to made and make in india. Imagine if 390 adventure come CBU rout 🤔
Get Adv X and then upgrade the suspensions of SW in just 30k
Traction control automatic on when it is off...... this issue is fixed in software updates long back, there is lot of critisism going on this, please zig wheels update yourself, we expect lot from you.
This issue is back. They have gone back to the older version. Try it out on new 390 ADVs
When is KTM launching an ADV 125 SW?
Hopefully not
indian tyre brands should make some more premium quality tyre.
They make good rubber but OEMs want tyres in a certain budget. Hence compromises.
@@zigwheels i mean as an alternative to metz m5 and similar
Buy adventure 250
I dont think KTM will allow 'customing'' the bike epescially wid X with adjustable suspension..it will hamper their business
Forgot everything and just wait for new Himalayan
Sorry , after seeing the video ,I am at same level of confusion as i was before seeing
😂
😂
*Me watching the video*
Jeb mein na kaudi phir bhi tere pe deewana
It's called rally variant only .
Nope, internally called R, offically called SW
@@zigwheels in my insurance copy it's mentioned as rally 😅😅 , not sure about RTO yet .
Listening to a gross about ride traits who’s mostly keeping a laptop to hide a belly meanwhile derating some crucial specifications just to gather some views & outreach partnerships with some average sponsors, is the reason for extensive product refusal among the masses!
SW version just becomes unreliable with the tube wheels
The adv 390 sw is nowhere near being a rally bike and KTM knows it well. They could have called it that in order to fool the customers into thinking its a rally bike and selling higher numbers but why would KTM fake it when theyve already got the real deal. Moreover it wouldn't be fair for the real rally bikes from KTM.
A rally bike needs to have at least 18" snd 21" wheels, 200mm + suspension travel and 200mm+ ground clearance to be able to actually do any kind of rally
I'd go for the standard cuz I ain't short like many peasants who have problem with the seat height and alloys have the utility in case of a puncture but yeah lack of adjustable suspension on standard hurts I think then what jehan said will be the best option, buy sw and sometime later swap the spoke wheels with alloys
bought the normal one, footpeg vibrates like a s*x toy! Turning radius can be improved too, very small! otherwise its a lovely bike. Glad with my purchase
Waiting for RE Himalayan 450...
Yuckkkk !!!!
Don’t buy the X variant. Complete waste of money🤮Go for SW
X is good for touring, nightmare on fixing punctures on sw without centre stand.
@@ColdSummer98 once the alloy gets heavy impact you’re done. Will cost a new alloy cause it is broken. Plus the ride comfort is better in sw. can’t ride the X even 200 kms a day. Very hafty.
Contrary to your belief, general consensus is the X variant is a bang for the buck
