KTM India has been quite successful with its adventure tourers. So far, he only had 250 adventures and 390 adventures. Both of these are not proper adventure tourers as they are based on their Duke counterparts. But KTM made some changes to the motorcycles to make them adventure ready and the brand is also working on a new adventure model which will be a proper ADV.
The 390 Adventure was the flagship adventure tourer that the brand offered in the Indian market. However, considering 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 the 390 Adventure X and sits below the standard 390 Adventure. Here are five things to know about the KTM 390 Adventure X.
