2023 KTM 390 Adventure, New Motorcycles • Travel

MAKE LIFE A DARING ADVENTURE

Gone are the days when going from A to B. The 2023 KTM 390 ADVENTURE rewrites the rulebook on what the daily commute needs to be. Merging all-road versatility and proven reliability with real-world performance, not to mention adventure-ready spoked wheels, a proven 373 cc powerplant, and a class-leading chassis, the KTM 390 ADVENTURE not only seeks out new adventures - it leaves no path unexplored.

FEATURES

ALL-ROUND COMFORT

FRAME: KTM 390 ADVENTURE features an ultra-lightweight, yet extremely stable trellis frame - just like the multi-championship winning KTM 450 RALLY. It provides the backbone to the KTM 390 ADVENTURE and is a major element that accounts for its nimble handling, and forgiving the balance of flex and stiffness. This, combined with a wheelbase of 1430 mm and a 63.5-degree steering head angle, means it was built to tackle the dirtiest of trails in the great outdoors.

ERGONOMICS: Let's be clear about it - the KTM 390 ADVENTURE is all about hitting the tough stuff. It is designed to be an adventure machine, from its Rally-style windscreen, right down to its offroad-focused footpegs. All-day riding comfort, supreme offroad agility, and unmatched rider involvement make the KTM 390 ADVENTURE a class leader when it comes to taking the path less traveled in complete control.

SEAT: The KTM 390 ADVENTURE features a two-part seat that provides unmatched comfort and rider control. Being narrower in the front than the rear, it not only provides easy accessibility for shorter riders but also better control on difficult terrain. The seat can be easily removed for access to the airbox and a small storage compartment underneath, with the KTM PowerParts team, having also specifically developed different seats to match individual customer needs from comfort to riding style.

FOOTPEGS: Wide, robust footpegs lifted directly from KTM offroad models give a hint to the KTM 390 ADVENTURE's party trick. Developed for all-day riding comfort - standing or seated - the footpegs are perfectly matched to both street or offroad boots, and feature easy-to-remove rubber inserts for when the riding really gets rough.

HIT THE HARD TRACK

WHEELS: The KTM 390 ADVENTURE boasts heavy-duty spoked wheels at each end, making it extremely ready to tackle the toughest of dirt trails. No more worries about cracked or chipped rims, these spoked setups perfectly compliment the offroad-orientated tires to provide unmatched confidence when charging off into the wilderness.

OFFROAD MODE: When the tar road ends and the dirt track begins, KTM 390 ADVENTURE riders can simply switch to off road mode. This allows a certain rear-wheel slip, meaning muddy puddles or thick sand is easily navigated. More so in off road mode, OFFROAD ABS is also activated, meaning you can pull your best Chris Birch impressions locking up the re
