Over the last few years we have explored the full range of the KTM 390 Adventure's capabilities, covering thousands of miles and nearly every type of terrain. The bike comes standard with a 373cc singlecylinder motor pumping out 43 horsepower and 27.3 ftlbs of torque, plus premium components like a 5” colorTFT display with Bluetooth integration, tapered aluminum handlebars, ByBre brakes (Indian Brembo), adjustable WP suspension, along with a sophisticated array of rider aids and touring amenities.

KTM's smallbore ADV offering exceeded our expectations during initial testing, but sacrifices are to be expected on any bike built for a lower price point. With help from the KTM PowerParts catalog and the aftermarket, we set out to address many of these shortcomings.

In this video, we give a rundown of its performance on dirt, sand, twisties, and more. Plus we put in many highway miles to explore the longhaul comfort and fuel range of the machine. We also cover how it matches up with other smalldisplacement ADVs in the market and how key mods can make major improvements in its adventure readiness.

Is the 390 Adventure a legitimate adventure travel bike for longer distances? Does it have enough dirt capability for more aggressive rides? We have answers to all your burning questions and more in the review.
