A low -cost version of 390 Adv without significantly reduced experience.
Like its predecessor, KTM 390 Adventure X undercuts its high-specific equivalent and is aimed at distributing 90 percent of the experience at a very highly affordable rate. For 2025, this motorcycle is upwards above the ground, featuring more performance, better features and better handling that is just Rs 11,000 more than the outgoing model.
390 adventure X miss on Cruise Control.
KTM 390 Adventure X Design and Quality (7/10)
High resolution TFT adds to this motorcycle appeal
What I was affected was was a bright headlight that provides commendable lights, and it could be the best in the orbit for now. I am also happy to see that KTM has equipped this bike with new TFT and dug Monotone LCD from the old ‘X’ model. This new screen is lively and clear, making the bike feel premium. The switchgear quality is also solid, separated from the missing winding switch for cruise control.
390 sitting on adventure is straight and commanding
KTM 390 Adventure X Riding Position and Comfort (8/10)
The X has an ergonomics similar to 390 adventure, which has a height of a small seat.
In addition to the height of a slight seat, X regular 390 is similar to adventure work. The posture is honest and still comfortable. However, large windscreen are not adjustable, so you loot some of that sweet cooling airflow in this scorching heat at the speed of the city. In addition, the seat remains quite firm, causing a saddle agony after about one or two hours, which is not ideal for a long distance journey. While those drawbacks are noticeable, they are far from being a delivery.
X corners felt surprisingly well and felt quite imposed
KTM 390 Adventure X Display and Refinance (8/10)
In our trials, 390 adventure X managed 0-100KPh time of just 6.04s
While this motorcycle packs the motor similar to the standard 390 adventure work, it seems too much tame and acceptable. This is because the x stands on the X standard 390 adventure equivalent to what is essentially equal to the road mode. It is not a deluge, but it makes the bike feel sweet and un-KTM in its performance. He said, the performance standard is similar to 390 Adv, and it is the fastest bike in this segment.
Despite alloy wheels, X may manage light trails
Another surprise victory? Low tire noise. This was something I saw on a standard bike, but here, it is quite calm. A latdown, however, is the quickshifter that requires a proper force to attach and it was mostly unusable on our test bike. He said, X’s light clutch makes manually easy and enjoyable.
Moving forward for braking, X, despite disappearing on the sanded brake pad, performs equally with its equivalent. Our braking tests showed almost identical numbers between the two bikes, although feeling in the liver is not as good as standard advice. The height and weight of the seat is slightly lower than 5 mm and slightly less than 1 kg respectively, not on a large scale, both are the correct direction changes.
Unlike 390 adventure, X uses an organic brake pads that perform almost equal
KTM 390 Adventure X Ride Comfort and Handling (8/10)
The non-dilute suspension of the X performs better than high imagination adjustable suspension
Despite running non-suspension suspension and alloy wheels, X still manages to feel very competent off-road. With the same 200 mm/205 mm wheel trip on both ends, it can make almost all full-spec 390 adventure, simply with confidence and response less than small front wheels. In fact, for on-road comfort, the Rishad and I found myself like a non-doubtful setup on X because it used to create less excitement and there was a slightly greater absorption of bad road surfaces.
Graphics and interfaces make TFT feel upmarked.
KTM 390 Adventure X Features and Safety (8/10)
The missing list of facilities is not reported in any way
The ‘X’ recalls on features such as cruise control, riding mode, cornering ABS, adjustable brake and clutch liver, tubeless spoke wheels and an adjustable front fork. Cruise Control was the only feature that I really remembered and appreciated. Yes, this highway makes miles easier, but given the cost savings, I can live without it.
The 390 adventure X is much more cheaper than the standard 390 adventure.
KTM 390 Adventure X Price and Decision (9/10)
77,000 less ‘X’ cost from 390 adventure
Given the price difference, the 390 adventure X makes a very strong case for itself. This distributes almost everything that you want at a pocket-friendly rate from 390 adventure platforms. For enough skilled people to push this platform to its limits, KTM still offers Enduro R for 390 adventure and even the hardcore off-road enthusiasts.
But if you are hunting for an inexpensive, mild advice that punches the 2025 KTM 390 adventure X above its value tag. And if you are not at all ‘Race to Race’, then the price of Himalayan of Royal Enfield is about the same and it provides more all-rounder and comfort, although it seems very big and heavy.
