    The ktm 390 adventure is an advanced and modernised sibling of ktm 390 duke. I have the red colour of this bike and exterior wise it looks quite good. It has good mileage, enough ground clearance and satisfactory and easy controls. The engine is powerful and the seat is comfortable and wide.

    Low ground clearance  

    I am owning KTM 390 adventure from last 7 month and I am happy with the riding experience. the looks and fit and finishing is above average. it has a 370 cc engine which provide powerful performance even on hilly areas. mileage is around 25-30 kmpl. the ground clearance Little bit low and suspension could also be improved. the pricing is set on higher sides not affordable by middle class riders.

    It offers everything 

    390 Adventure is for everything like it is compact for beginner friendly, capable for open roads, great for proper long rides adventures and its engine is excellent for touring but the seat height is high that is not suitable for all buyers. On road performance of this bike is just incredible and the price is very well for what it offers but is not that good for off roader. The highway performance is excellent but the seat is not very comfortable for long rides.
