Pros and Cons in comparison

KTM 390 Adventure 2023

The small 390 Adventurr can be seen as an absolute all-rounder in its class and a real value-for-money winner. The high-quality electronics package and the powerful single-cylinder make it a pure fun machine that does not overtax inexperienced on- and off-road riders, but supports them. The sporty but comfortable seating position and the decent wind protection make even longer tours possible. No matter what surface you ride it on, the 390 Adventure is a lot of fun - but most of all in tight corners!
