KTM 390 Adventure Price in Ernakulam

Sharp looks, great performance, and satisfactory comfort. Does what is meant to, be decent mileage Along with that, has a nice service network, and doesn't break a sweat it is longer highway rides or tough off-road expeditions. Feels confident while off-roading. Lacks a bit of manoeuvrability as you would expect.

About the Reviewer

Brought SW version for long-distance touring. Will rate the buying experience as average from the KTM dealership since they just only want to get the bike sold to the customer at any cost to achieve their sales target.
Coming to the bike, need to keep the engine above 2000 rpm to avoid the bike getting stalled which has happened multiple times for me, post 4000 rpm it is very smooth for a single cylinder. Suspension and tire gave me good confidence to trash bike on bad roads and it did a really good job.
Quickshifter is useless and I completely avoid using it. The bike gets Bluetooth connectivity but the KTM app for turn-by-turn navigation is not available on PlayStore so that's also of no use, you can only connect your phone for caller identification.
Seat height might make most of us opt for a lower seat variant, I'm 5.11 and it works well for me but while riding standing up, felt the need for handlebar risers as stock height is very low for standing-up riding, and there no way you can grip fuel tank with legs which takes confidence.
Braking performance is good and has a good feel and feedback along with the Metzeler tire, even on wet surfaces it offered good grip and confidence. The only concern is fear of puncture due to the spoked wheel with tube, would have been great if they had offered a tubeless spoked wheel.
Kept the bike in stock condition and didn't add extra weight by putting in aftermarket crash guards. Did install Barkbuster handguards as I did not like the stock flimsy handguards and also replaced stock mirrors with Double Take mirrors.

Value for money.
Good for long rides.
Amazing comfort.
Loaded with electronics.
Service costs are reasonable.
The riding position is comfortable. Had to install a handlebar raiser for my height (5'11) easy to ride in the city.
Avg 28kmpl mileage.
Low-end torque will make you use 1st gears for humps.
Not a complete off-roader, but a great bike for off-road modification as it is lightweight.
