Pros and Cons in comparison
KTM 390 Enduro R 2025
The KTM 390 Enduro Bike R is exactly what many have been missing for a lengthy period of time: a true dual-sport machine that does not take refuge in extremes. It is neither an uncompromising hard enduro nor a stud-trimmed naked bike, but a versatile tool for everyday use, travelling and off-road. Easy to handle, agile enough for country roads, comfortable enough for longer distances and equipped with a suspension that also makes ambitious off-road riding possible. It does have minor weaknesses such as its noticeable weight, slight vibrations or a snappy rear brake - but these are relativised by the attractive price. Anyone who values versatility more than technical perfection in a single area will find the 390 Enduro R a well thought-out, modern and very balanced A2 bike.
Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 2025
With the 2024 update, the Svartpilen 401 has become significantly larger, more mature, heavier and more modern. With a lower seat height and wider dimensions, it has become more attractive for both short and tall pilots. The new TFT display is more attractive to look at and offers practical benefits. Despite the extra weight, the Svartpilen remains an agile fun bike with decent grunt from the single cylinder, a relaxed riding position and adjustable, well-functioning suspension. The only thing that spoils the riding pleasure is the weak, less powerful brakes. If the old Svartpilen was too small or too high, you should give it another chance in 2024.
