Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
KTM 790 Adventure 2019
In my eyes, the KTM is the sportiest of all mid-range touring enduros. If you are looking for a touring machine that is brutally nippy on road and off-road, you will find it here. At the same time, however, the chassis and engine offer sufficient comfort and good manners to keep the rider from going mad even on longer liaison stages.
KTM 390 Adventure 2022
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!
