SWM Silver Vase 650 2026 vs. KTM 390 Adventure R 2025

KTM 390 Adventure R 2025

The KTM 390 Adventure R is the more uncompromising choice for riders who prioritise off-road riding. Its low weight, long travel and modern electronics ensure plenty of control and ample reserves both on and off tarmac. The 399-cm³ single-cylinder engine feels lively and revvy, but requires more gear changes and higher revs for brisk riding than the CFMOTO’s twin cylinder engine. On journeys of length, the KTM feels significantly more rugged, with its narrow seat, stronger vibrations and modest wind protection. In return, it offers a more precise and playful overall package on technical terrain. Anyone looking for as much genuine enduro bike capability as possible in the A2 class – and who is willing to accept compromises on comfort – will find the 390 Adventure R to be one of the most exciting bikes in its class.
