KTM 390 Adventure 2021

The equipment and dimensions of the 390 Adventure show that KTM has by no means simply put a small, slimmed-down touring enduro on its wheels, but rather a (fully) worthy A2 licence-compatible motorbike that will give (re-)beginners just as much pleasure as those who are looking for an everyday bike and can do without performance in abundance. The sporty KTM takes you everywhere and is extremely fun to ride on curvy terrain thanks to its agility.
