Specs & Features

Expert's Opinion on 390 Adventure S

Overview

The New King Of The Hill

• The 2025 KTM 390 Adventure is built on the same platform as the Gen 3 390 Duke
• The bike gets adjustable long-travel suspension at both ends and has riding characteristics which leaps and bounds ahead of any motorcycle in the same segment

Design

Dakar Inspired

• Gets a very purposeful Dakar rally bikes inspired design
• The dual-LED projector headlights, the high-mounted beak, long single-piece seat and the narrow tail section gel well together and complete the overall design
• The design might not appeal to everyone as it is very polarizing

Performance & Mileage

Best-in-class

• The engine is very tractable when going offroad, at city speeds and even when doing highway speeds
• The larger rear sprocket over the 390 Duke means that it has better low-end response
• The motorcycle is very quick and has a claimed 0-100kmph time of 6.17 seconds
• The bidirectional quickshifter is super slick and allows you to change gears rapidly
• You will feel vibrations creeping in the footpegs when you go over 6,000rpm

Handling

A sportsbike in disguise

• The bike is always ready to change directions on a dime
• The long wheelbase and Apollo Tramplr tyres makes it very stable when it is leaned over
• Brakes are powerful enough to stop the adventure bike quickly
• The axial brake caliper does not provide an instant bite which we feel on the 390 Duke

Ride Quality

Built for all-roads

• The adjustable suspension at both ends means that the ride quality can be customised to the required usage
• The suspension absorbs all bumps and potholes very easily giving you a riding experience like no other motorcycle
• Even after going through sharp bumps, the bike never feels unsettled and goes through everything
• The stock suspension setup may feel a bit stiff if you are on the lighter side, though, it can be adjusted

Comfort & Storage

An excellent tourer

• The riding posture is very comfortable and provides you an upright posture
• Even when going offroad, the slim mid-section of the seat means that it is easy to grip the bike with your legs and get in a good attack position
• The light kerb weight and low seat height allows the rider to pick the bike up easily and maneuver in the parking lot without breaking a sweat
• The seat height may feel a bit short for riders above 6 feet
• The seat is a bit narrow and firm which will affect your daily city commuting experience

Features

Loaded to the brim

• Gets a 5-inch TFT display with riding modes and smartphone connectivity
• Rider aids include cornering ABS and cornering traction control
• Gets cruise control as standard which is very helpful while touring

Verdict

Should you buy the KTM 390 Adventure?

• The 390 Adventure is a motorcycle which you cannot ignore no matter what
• The performance it offers, the features it gets and the equipment it has is unparalleled by any other motorcycle in the segment
• Though priced a bit on the higher side, the 390 Adventure is an excellent value for money proposition

Key Things to Know about 390 Adventure S

Upside

• Feels incredibly light and easy to manage

• Cruise control works great when touring on highways
• Nearly fully-adjustable suspension lets you set the bike up for your weight or riding style easily
• Fantastic highway performance
• No wind buffeting at over 100kmph

Downside

• Slight vibrations in the footpegs above 6000rpm

Expert's Conclusion

The KTM 390 Adventure with the 2025 update has undergone a massive overhaul both in terms of looks, features and performance. But the pricing when compared to its segment rivals is a bit too high. The bike overall is more geared towards hardcore offroaders.
