If you are one of those people who think that the adventure begins where the road ends and that the journey is more important than the destination, then here’s something for you. The spirit of exploration is an ever-evolving thing, and does not stop when the terrains ask you to stop. And if that is the situation, then why should you stop? So, for the thrill seekers and explorers, the KTM 390 Adventure proves to be the perfect companion, in the wild and in civilisation.
KTM, for over a few decades now, is known for its versatility, ruggedness, and a go anywhere attitude. In this regard, the KTM 390 Adventure is THE adventure bike that stands out for its speed, reliability, and fierce nature. In recent times, it has also become the most sought-after bike.
Adventure?
When adventure comes a calling, do you think twice before you answer the call? It could be long open highways for cruising at high speeds and overtaking other vehicles at high speeds. Or, it could be the twisties on a gorgeous Indian ghats. Or finally, it could be a place with no roads, and you have to tackle water crossings, mud, off-roads, gravel, and more.
If your answer to the question is yes, and you do think twice before you answer the call, then what you need in life is the KTM 390 Adventure. Whether it is riding fast on the highways, cornering at high speeds, or crossing water bodies and treading no roads like a champ. The Orange Beast does it all with all the Austrian excellence and Indian ruggedness.
Answer the call
Helping you answer the call of adventure is a brilliantly engineered 398.63cc single cylinder, liquid-cooled, DOHC, FI engine. This high-strung engine produces 46 PS at 8500 rpm and 39 Nm at 6500 rpm. What this motor does is deliver an extremely fun-to-ride experience, whether it is on long drives on the highway, doing intercity travel, or even going to the Himalayas to take a break from daily life. No matter the terrain, roads or no roads, lovely paved roads or thigh-level water bodies, the KTM 390 Adventure takes on everything like an absolute orange beast.
Adding to that is the light split trellis frame, which makes the bike strongly reliable but also light enough to flick it around without much hassle. The suspension too, is long travel and on the Spoke Wheel variant of the 390 Adventure, it is fully adjustable. This helps the rider calibrate the suspension according to the rider’s liking.
You also get the option to choose whether you want alloy wheels or spoke wheels based on the variant, and your preference. If you are someone who likes riding rough and going on a lot of off-road adventures, then the spoke wheels would be the choice for you, as it can take a lot more bashing. However, if you are a rider who likes to stick to the paved roads and loves going on intercity rides, then the alloy wheels should be to your liking.
Optimum Versatility
Born out of the best sport motorcycle DNA, the KTM 390 Adventure combines the practicality of an adventure bike and the sportiness of a race bike like the KTM RC 200. It has an upright and comfortable riding posture, which aids in riding for longer durations. Add to that mix the eagerness of a high-strung motor that picks up pace as soon as you twist the throttle. All of this put together gives you a motorcycle that is ready to be ridden, and ridden hard in almost every situation.
Convenience
Just like any other KTM, the KTM 390 Adventure comes packed with a suite of electronic aids that make it a much safer and desirable motorcycle. It comes with different riding modes and ABS modes for a better riding experience in different riding conditions. For example, it gets an off-road mode, which reduces the ABS intervention in the wheel, and allows the rider to slide the bike. Additionally, it also gets traction control, cornering ABS, and a quick shifter.
All of these electronics can be controlled via a 5-inch TFT display that comes equipped with smartphone connectivity and even turn-by-turn navigation. So explore all you want and never get lost.
