Got mileage of | 30 kmpl |
Well, i already own Jawa 42 its a very good bike, but this ktm looks are awesome and we don't have to worry about quality, it will be always be good. But main thing is we have to consider 3 things, 1) price of the bike 2) it should suit our personality and needs (when you sit on a bike it should suit you) 3) maintenance of the bike. Well as per price of the bike its almost 4L so many people cannot afford but they can afford by financial options, for that you should have min 25k salary in bank account. My main suggestion is go with 1.2L down payment and 30 months EMI so you don't have to brag the EMI payments forever, your EMI will be 10k per month. Next thing is it should suite you that means its gonna suite almost every one, well every one asks about 855mm seat height. As per my experience you dont have to worry abou it if you are 165cm and above height because the bikes weight is less so it will be easy to manage, but in heavy traffic conditions little practice needed. As per my suggestion if you are 5.5 ft you can ride any bike with 800mm seat height in combination with 200 kg bikes, buy you can say this 390 adventure is having 855mm? But here bike weight is lower than 200kg. So dont worry about it. But its better to go and check in the showroom and sit on it ,feel it. Another one is maintenance, that means service cost and wearing part replacement, well i dont think most of us is going to do 500/1000km every day. Mostly we do like 20km each day for our needs, and if we are buying this 390 adventure that means probably we have spare bike for daily commute. But still maintenance matters so it will be like 3000rs for service for each visit, and spare parts will be almost same cost like other bikes above 2L price tag. Electronics will be little costly. But above all this is going to be my 2nd bike.You need to clean chain regularly otherwise you will get irritating sounds, mileage will be avg 25 to 30/35 depending on the riding style, but dont worry it will give you 28/30 in traffic conditions as well. High way you can expect more than 30. If you like bikes you wont be hesitating about cost, seat height, maintenance and all, you will find a way to enjoy raiding. It doesn't matter how much cost it is or how much cheap it is. Bike will be bike.
Tips for KTM 390 Adventure [2021]
Every 6 months or 6000 km do the service, clean chain every month or every 1000/1500 km, don't keep your bike in rain. Try not to ride too long once fuel meter blinks reserve icon, always try to keep petrol above reserve, because bike runs smoothly if its like that, other wise you will feel smoothness fading.

The bike (ktm 390adventure) gives you a thrill of a sports bike and at the same time it makes you feel adventurous, it's an amazing bike with good ground clearance and an awesome top speed in this category.It's a high-raving machine and with slippers clutch and auto flipper the bike has an outstanding performance overall.

It is really a great bike to begin your adventures with. The riding posture is absolutely commanding in position. The performance is as equally good as the looks. Servicing cost is much less compared to other adventure bikes or superbikes and maintenance are also easy. Pros super fast bike con low-end gear problem.

The ktm 390 adventure takes exploration further by merging all-road versatility and proven reliability with real-world performance. Built around a compact 373 cc single-cylinder power plant with a capable, lightweight chassis and class-leading electronics, the ktm 390 adventure encourages you to find new frontiers with the unmatched capability and excitement you'd expected from a ktm adventure machine. Featuring an updated design for 2022, the ktm 390 adventure is now also visually aligned with the dakar winning ktm factory rally machines

The buying experience was awesome. Rare suspension is a bit stiff. I use it for daily commute and tours. I get a mileage of 24kmpl in the city (bengaluru) and up to 33kmpl on highways. The performance is top-notch. Probably the best bike you can get in that price range. Done a couple of long rides and the riding experience is just awesome. Idk if others are facing this issue but my mileage indicator shows wrong info (4kmpl more than the actual mileage).

Amazing adventure 390
2 years ago
Razal Mehjoob
Ktm adventure 390 is a awful adv. tourer in the market. I think it's better than a Himalayan in case of off-road and on road. The bike gives us a good riding experience. I also uses the the triumph tiger 900 rally. I recommend adv390 as a entry level beast. I think it will be better with a spoke wheel for the adventure 390 for better off-roading. Of course ktm adventure 390 is a bit high in price, but it worth the money.Amd have a good mileage, performance, the ktm's reliability and its design is also good .And i strongly recommend this great bike.

First time in the world ktm 390 adventure completed iron butt challenge with out breaking indian speed limits
2 years ago
Phani Raja Gopal Naidu
Hello adventure riders, I bought this bike as it's a saviour of pride on riding, on march 2021, buying experience went smoothly at ktm begumpet, hyderabad, first time with one ring they answered the call, first question when do I will get this vehicle and the immediate answer was we have white in stock, which exactly i was looking for, went through their checklist before buying it under finance, Bajaj finance again did good job for me, never had a bad experience with them, paid 1.75 lakh upfront and rest 2 lakhs which includes road tax, (14%) as it's 3rd vehicle, can't do it on wife's name as well as she already has 2 more on her name, overall I paid an etc 3000 for number plate, registration, Bajaj finance charges etc.All work done in a span of 3 hoursrs, and meanwhile my bike got ready and came out with a shy face as white one looks more shy in comparison to the orange ones which are very aggressive. Took some selfies along with it and some more with ktm key, these made my wife jealous lol, anyhow she is always my back supporter in my life. Actual fun thing is she gifted this to me, not realizing the rear seat height she can't do, lol she came to know it after she tried to hop onto the bike after PD checklist is done. Never said at that moment, once we reached home she said I only ride with you on RE 350, i said wonderful, as my wife don't join for rides except shopping some stupid things at begum bazar, that moment I was like best eg for memes on biker who's carrying household items packed up around the bike with bags, funny thing is she only hold to her purse rest all falls on handle bars, grab rods, rear bag, etc etc. It's better to have a picture to see that, hope many have it but not me. Lets go back to ktm 390 adventure, as usual after small pooja at home and temple, palms started itching, i want to complete the 1000kms in next day for to lift up the speed restrictions at 6000rpm, but couldn't committed for regular works, it got postponed and suddenly i got a call adventure day is happening bronze level. Are you interested to join as it's first time in Hyderabad, i was so much happy, didn't even bothered my wife calls for 1 hr. Hope married people know what happens when you won't pick your wife's phone for 1 hr. Luckily my kids were with me, all set to understand more about my bike. I learnt how to saddle, fig8, crossing obstacles, trail riding, etc. Overall this adventure day made my confidence up for off roading. This bike really makes different just imagining how many falls i could have avoided if i had this one before.My first service barely costed me rs1543/- @1000kms, and 2 nd service @1856/- with few parts added to the list, between 1st service to the 2nd service, ktm 390 adventure group has gone from 30 to 230 bikesin a span of 10 months great progressing, luckily i got an opportunity to lead the ktm hyderabad adventure eacapes and any local coffee meets organized by ktm hyderabad, apart from that we explored most of th unexplored places in hyderabad and surroundings, pangong lake of hyderabad, kadthal, narsapur, utm, rachakonda, bodakonda and kcr eco urban park trails, most of them are unknown to hyderabadis.I have only ridden bike on long tour only ince from hyderabad to chikmangalur, as rest of the time all rides got cancelled due to covid situations. Finally the day come when u fed up with all going in life and want to do something big here comes the iron butt challenge, saddle sore 1000miles or 1610 kms in 24 hrs and bun burner 1500 miles or 2500kms in 36 hrs. As in India its illegal as our roads and its speed limits r not allow to do it, but national highway is one possibility to complete it without breaking any rules, but you need lot of endurance and technique to complete it successfully, me and my fellow rider successfully completed it without any glitch and its first time in the world somebody completed the iron butt challenge on ktm 390 adventure. The bike stood up to its name dual purpose bike, never had any issue on trails as you people can see videos on my youtube channel @roadsidetravel, coming to touring it works awesome, iron butt challenge successfully completed bcoz of the reason bike can easily do its job on continue riding at speeds on triple digits. Bike can give mileage according to the speeds 70-90 u will get 42kmpl most of the people wonders @ this and no one rides at this speed on the bike , 90-110 u will get 35kmpl, 110-130 u will get 29kmpl and anything more than 130+ u will get 23-29 between depends on how the road either highway or terrain conditions. City it will give you 32-35kmpl and highways as mentioned above. Most of the people comment negative on seat height 553mm but its good for me @5'10" height. Addition to that i use 1.7" risers for saddling comfortability, riding techniques has to improve as my master trainers r at height of 5'4" most of them. This shows height of seat isn't matter only riding technique. Second negative comment on low end torque, i havent faced much on this again technique plays a lot here, only issue faced is after 5503 ecu update vehicle started stalling between 4-3 gear shift only at wrong rpms but who will monitor on screen for rpms so this pblm persists international not only in india. Apart from this one issue rest is all bliss, addition to the bikes power we have slipper clutch, quick shifter, cornering abs, mtc, ride by wire throttle and latest ktm come up with different ride modes, offroad and onroad in 2022 model. Final words, incase if u r looking for all terrain vehicle in budget with all latest technologies go for ktm 390 adventure, no other bike in this segment provides all the above options with better mileage and less maintenance costs.

Tips for other riders
1st service @1000kms and 2nd service onwards at 7500kms interval , it comes with metzlers so tyre life will be an average of 20000 kms, lube your chain after every 500 kms and clean your chain after every off roading trails, it will increase life of chain, incase If you are more on touring go for additional aux lights cheaper are soln SJG else Madding. Don't go for after market crash Guards as stock are better than after market as per experience and also based on accident figures, upto 110 kmph you don't need additional windshield, depends again on person to person and type of helmet usage. Use KTM Pro XP app always to see about what's happening new in India

Almost a perfect adventure bike
2 years ago
Jatin
Almost a perfect bike with minor flaws if you're willing to make adjustments. - vibrations at low rpm around 3000-4000 rpm. This is bound to happen in single cylinder engines and there is no way around it. Vibes get lowered after 1st service.- it is a demanding bike and will urge you to keep it in right gear at all times. No way around this.- seat height is high for short riders. But if you want, you can manage with flat foot on 1 side.Now the good part:- extremely planted bike. Be it straight road or curves. It feels really stable.- best brakes in the segment. Abs is superbly calibrated.- bulletproof tested 390 engine. It reaches 110-120 kmph very very easily and just glides.- plenty of aftermarket parts & mods available. You can modify as per your taste.- commanding seating position which gives really good view of what's in front.- nice tft screen. Love it.Overall it is a good touring bike. 100% recommended. Do not fall for reviewers who have not owned this bike.

It is really a great bike to begin your adventures with. The riding posture is absolutely commanding in position. The performance is as equally good as the looks. Servicing cost is much less compared to other adventure bikes or superbikes and maintenance are also easy. Pros super fast bike con low-end gear problem.

Featuring an updated design for 2022, the ktm 390 adventure is now also visually aligned with the dakar winning ktm factory rally machines

The buying experience was awesome. Rare suspension is a bit stiff. I use it for daily commute and tours. I get a mileage of 24kmpl in the city (bengaluru) and up to 33kmpl on highways. The performance is top-notch. Probably the best bike you can get in that price range. Done a couple of long rides and the riding experience is just awesome. Idk if others are facing this issue but my mileage indicator shows wrong info (4kmpl more than the actual mileage).

Amazing adventure 390
2 years ago
Razal Mehjoob
Ktm adventure 390 is a awful adv. tourer in the market. I think it's better than a Himalayan in case of off-road and on road. The bike gives us a good riding experience. I also uses the the triumph tiger 900 rally. I recommend adv390 as a entry level beast. I think it will be better with a spoke wheel for the adventure 390 for better off-roading. Of course ktm adventure 390 is a bit high in price, but it worth the money.Amd have a good mileage, performance, the ktm's reliability and its design is also good .And i strongly recommend this great bike.

First time in the world ktm 390 adventure completed iron butt challenge with out breaking indian speed limits
2 years ago
Phani Raja Gopal Naidu
Hello adventure riders, I bought this bike as it's a saviour of pride on riding, on march 2021, buying experience went smoothly at ktm begumpet, hyderabad, first time with one ring they answered the call, first question when do I will get this vehicle and the immediate answer was we have white in stock, which exactly i was looking for, went through their checklist before buying it under finance, Bajaj finance again did good job for me, never had a bad experience with them, paid 1.75 lakh upfront and rest 2 lakhs which includes road tax, (14%) as it's 3rd vehicle, can't do it on wife's name as well as she already has 2 more on her name, overall I paid an etc 3000 for number plate, registration, Bajaj finance charges etc.All work done in a span of 3 hoursrs, and meanwhile my bike got ready and came out with a shy face as white one looks more shy in comparison to the orange ones which are very aggressive. Took some selfies along with it and some more with ktm key, these made my wife jealous lol, anyhow she is always my back supporter in my life. Actual fun thing is she gifted this to me, not realizing the rear seat height she can't do, lol she came to know it after she tried to hop onto the bike after PD checklist is done. Never said at that moment, once we reached home she said I only ride with you on RE 350, i said wonderful, as my wife don't join for rides except shopping some stupid things at begum bazar, that moment I was like best eg for memes on biker who's carrying household items packed up around the bike with bags, funny thing is she only hold to her purse rest all falls on handle bars, grab rods, rear bag, etc etc. It's better to have a picture to see that, hope many have it but not me. Lets go back to ktm 390 adventure, as usual after small pooja at home and temple, palms started itching, i want to complete the 1000kms in next day for to lift up the speed restrictions at 6000rpm, but couldn't committed for regular works, it got postponed and suddenly i got a call adventure day is happening bronze level. Are you interested to join as it's first time in Hyderabad, i was so much happy, didn't even bothered my wife calls for 1 hr. Hope married people know what happens when you won't pick your wife's phone for 1 hr. Luckily my kids were with me, all set to understand more about my bike. I learnt how to saddle, fig8, crossing obstacles, trail riding, etc. Overall this adventure day made my confidence up for off roading. This bike really makes different just imagining how many falls i could have avoided if i had this one before.My first service barely costed me rs1543/- @1000kms, and 2 nd service @1856/- with few parts added to the list, between 1st service to the 2nd service, ktm 390 adventure group has gone from 30 to 230 bikesin a span of 10 months great progressing, luckily i got an opportunity to lead the ktm hyderabad adventure eacapes and any local coffee meets organized by ktm hyderabad, apart from that we explored most of th unexplored places in hyderabad and surroundings, pangong lake of hyderabad, kadthal, narsapur, utm, rachakonda, bodakonda and kcr eco urban park trails, most of them are unknown to hyderabadis.I have only ridden bike on long tour only ince from hyderabad to chikmangalur, as rest of the time all rides got cancelled due to covid situations. Finally the day come when u fed up with all going in life and want to do something big here comes the iron butt challenge, saddle sore 1000miles or 1610 kms in 24 hrs and bun burner 1500 miles or 2500kms in 36 hrs. As in India its illegal as our roads and its speed limits r not allow to do it, but national highway is one possibility to complete it without breaking any rules, but you need lot of endurance and technique to complete it successfully, me and my fellow rider successfully completed it without any glitch and its first time in the world somebody completed the iron butt challenge on ktm 390 adventure. The bike stood up to its name dual purpose bike, never had any issue on trails as you people can see videos on my youtube channel @roadsidetravel, coming to touring it works awesome, iron butt challenge successfully completed bcoz of the reason bike can easily do its job on continue riding at speeds on triple digits. Bike can give mileage according to the speeds 70-90 u will get 42kmpl most of the people wonders @ this and no one rides at this speed on the bike , 90-110 u will get 35kmpl, 110-130 u will get 29kmpl and anything more than 130+ u will get 23-29 between depends on how the road either highway or terrain conditions. City it will give you 32-35kmpl and highways as mentioned above. Most of the people comment negative on seat height 553mm but its good for me @5'10" height. Addition to that i use 1.7" risers for saddling comfortability, riding techniques has to improve as my master trainers r at height of 5'4" most of them. This shows height of seat isn't matter only riding technique. Second negative comment on low end torque, i havent faced much on this again technique plays a lot here, only issue faced is after 5503 ecu update vehicle started stalling between 4-3 gear shift only at wrong rpms but who will monitor on screen for rpms so this pblm persists international not only in india. Apart from this one issue rest is all bliss, addition to the bikes power we have slipper clutch, quick shifter, cornering abs, mtc, ride by wire throttle and latest ktm come up with different ride modes, offroad and onroad in 2022 model. Final words, incase if u r looking for all terrain vehicle in budget with all latest technologies go for ktm 390 adventure, no other bike in this segment provides all the above options with better mileage and less maintenance costs.

Tips for other riders
1st service @1000kms and 2nd service onwards at 7500kms interval , it comes with metzlers so tyre life will be an average of 20000 kms, lube your chain after every 500 kms and clean your chain after every off roading trails, it will increase life of chain, incase If you are more on touring go for additional aux lights cheaper are soln SJG else Madding. Don't go for after market crash Guards as stock are better than after market as per experience and also based on accident figures, upto 110 kmph you don't need additional windshield, depends again on person to person and type of helmet usage. Use KTM Pro XP app always to see about what's happening new in India

Almost a perfect adventure bike
2 years ago
Jatin
Almost a perfect bike with minor flaws if you're willing to make adjustments. - vibrations at low rpm around 3000-4000 rpm. This is bound to happen in single cylinder engines and there is no way around it. Vibes get lowered after 1st service.- it is a demanding bike and will urge you to keep it in right gear at all times. No way around this.- seat height is high for short riders. But if you want, you can manage with flat foot on 1 side.Now the good part:- extremely planted bike. Be it straight road or curves. It feels really stable.- best brakes in the segment. Abs is superbly calibrated.- bulletproof tested 390 engine. It reaches 110-120 kmph very very easily and just glides.- plenty of aftermarket parts & mods available. You can modify as per your taste.- commanding seating position which gives really good view of what's in front.- nice tft screen. Love it.Overall it is a good touring bike. 100% recommended. Do not fall for reviewers who have not owned this bike.
