Benelli Imperiale 400 vs KTM 390 Adventure

Question 1

Q. I am really confused between Benelli 400, Royal Enfield classic 350 and Jawa standard, please suggest?

Answer

Selecting the right bike would depend on certain factors such as your budget, preference of the segment, performance figures, features required, etc. The 2021 Classic 350 is an all-new bike! Everything from the motor and frame to the underpinnings and ergonomics has been reworked. Coming to the bike’s hardware, the new Classic uses a new fatter 41mm telescopic fork up front and a twin shock setup at the rear. Even the brakes have been updated to Bybre units at both ends which clamp on to a 300mm front and a 270mm rear disc brake. Moving onto the ergonomics, the Classic 350 features a new rider and pillion seat with thicker cushioning which improves ride comfort. The handlebar sits taller, offering an upright riding posture. Coming to the styling, the bike looks pretty similar to the outgoing model, however, it's been cleverly redesigned. On the other hand, the Benelli Imperiale 400 is a wholesome package that offers a vibe-free motor full of character. Its comfortable riding posture and well-balanced suspension setup add to its riding experience. Having said that, the recent price hike due to the BS6 update has made the Imperiale 400 a rather expensive proposition. Whereas, the Jawa uses a short-stroke, performance-oriented engine with a 6-speed transmission. Sure it’s fast, but it lacks the retro laidback charm of an under the square engine, something we think is crucial for a buyer in this segment. The 293cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine generates 26.51PS of power and 27.05Nm of torque on the Jawa. Moreover, we would suggest you take a test ride before making the final decision.

Question 2

Q. Which bike I should buy, KTM Duke 390 or Adventure 390?

Answer

Both the bikes are good in their forte.

Now more mature and refined in its latest form, the 2020 KTM 390 Duke still remains a well-rounded package tailor-made for thrill-seekers. Whereas, KTM 390 Adventure features excellent ergos for touring, Retains on-road performance of 390 Duke, Packed with electronic goodies.

Moreover, KTM 390 Adventure offers excellent ergos for touring, which retains on-road performance of 390 Duke, packed with electronic goodies. KTM 390 Adventure is powered by a 373.2 cc engine. This 390 Adventure engine generates a power of 43.5 PS @ 9000 rpm and a torque of 37 Nm @ 7000 rpm.
