KTM 390 Adventure X launched in India: 5 things you should know
- KTM 390 Adventure X is a more affordable version of the 390 Adventure. It does miss out on some features but also costs ₹59,000 less.
KTM India has been quite successful with its adventure tourers. Till now, they only had the 250 Adventure and the 390 Adventure. Both of them are not proper adventure tourers because they are based on their Duke counterparts. But KTM did make some changes to the motorcycles so that they are adventure ready and the brand is also working on new Adventure models that will be proper ADVs.
The 390 Adventure was the flagship adventure tourer that the brand used to offer in the Indian market. However, looking at the growing ADV segment in India, KTM decided to offer a lower-spec version of the 390 Adventure so that they can compete better in the segment. The motorcycle is called 390 Adventure X and it sits below the standard 390 Adventure. Here are five things that one should know about the KTM 390 Adventure X.
