How well can the KTM 390 Adventure-X handle Trails?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- If you have watched my previous video on why I chose the KTM 390 Adventure-X, I mentioned in the video that I would be doing some light trails on my Adventure-X. So, how did the Adventure-X fare on trails? Is it even meant to do the trails? Should I have chosen the Adventure-SW? What problems did I face? Watch the video and you will know the answers.

You have become fab narrator. Great going 😎
Thanks Vini ❤️
Amazing. Keep going 👍🏼
Love just listening to your stories.
Thank you
That was a stunning video, great trails and an interesting commentary. Nice one.
Such a good and informing video.. I'm about to book a adv390 sw soon 😊 thanks to you for showing how capable ktms are
Thank you. Good luck and good choice 👍🏻
What a thoughtful journey shared by you in few your videos and I loved the way you finally arrived at X.
Good presentation- highly valuable information and experience. Yes many don't know what they need and so end up buying a wrong one.
OK Man. I am going book X this weekend 🎉
Thanks buddy. Glad you liked my videos 🙂
You hve a very good narrative skills..cheers to rides and experiences..😊
Thank you
And during the time sumanth said - "" Seede child nenu, sumane line nali baa slow agi".
Nice ride and bikes.
I love the narration. Awesome riding at those speeds in the trail. I'm sure you'll just be sliding those corners with some training. Can you share how the suspension performance/feedback in the trail was? Did it bottmed out at any point?
Thank you.
Yeah I was going way to fast for my skill level.
The suspension will bottom out when you hit ruts. Adv 390 doesn’t have a lot of suspension travel.
Regarding the feedback, I think it’s too technical for me to understand at this point (pertaining to trails), as I don’t have any reference point.
@@prameethprabhu Thank you for sharing the details.
hi bro super vlog need a suggestion for ktm390 avd X really u don't need electronics like C-ABS in highway or hills cornering . I am almost ok with ADV x but feel why we not go for SW ? for touring and some off road trails .
I have explained this in my video ‘Why I chose the Adv-X over the SW’.
What a beautiful narration!
Thank you
@@prameethprabhu hi, so I am planning to buy 390x, and I am sure you must have been asked this question million times, but can you please comment on vibrations of this bike, and also how it feels to the pillion rider. Will it be significant at cruising speed of 100 120kmph?
Also, can I get the adjustable suspensions installed on this bike from ktm, or is this available only to ktm sw owners?
@@amansrivastava6086 Go for it. You will be happy with the 390X. Vibes are there only at low revs. That can be solved with FuelX or by changing sprockets. However, i recommend t just learn to ride the Adv the ways it’s supposed to be ridden which is beyond 3k RPM. At higher revs, there are no vibes but a high frequency buzz at the handlebars and foot pegs. The footpegs ones won’t bother you much if you wear thick soled shoes. Handlebar ones you will have to learn to deal with. I can’t comment on pillion comfort as I have never sat on the back seat significantly. But from what I heard from others, the back seat is plenty comfy. Regarding the adjustable suspension, you can get it from KTM if you know someone well in the management. However, even after 6.5k KM on my motorcycle, I haven’t felt the need TP change any hardware on my motorcycle yet.
@@prameethprabhu Excellent! Thanks for your time :)
@@amansrivastava6086 anytime buddy
Beautiful Vlog Brother 🙌💥
Thank you
Amazing
Thank you Amma 😘❤️
Hi bro i am ur silent viewer science u have 500 suscriber... Loved ur videos...
Can u plz tell me. From where u got ur background musics
Thank you for subscribing. I use epidemic sounds for music.
@@prameethprabhu okkkk thanks bro did u ever feel regrate after purchase of adv390x rathar than taking stander version???
@@NsOneRider Nope. Not one bit. On the contrary I sometimes feel sad for the standard owners when they share images of errors on their dash in groups. Many even agree that the quick shifter doesn’t work the way it intended to and the traction control is very rudimentary and can be unnerving at times if it intrudes mid corner. I don’t have any of those hassles. I personally like the LCD dash as it is crisp and gives me all the info. I feel the colour TFT has too much info. The only gripe I have about Adv-X is that the trip meter is limited to 999.9 km.
Good stuff
Very smooth
Nice storytelling
In this adventure X. Is the suspension good enough to give your the comfortable ride in off road ( like the road you are riding in this video ? And also what about with pillion?
2) can we cruise comfortably at 120 KMPH - 130 KMPH ?
I don’t know how ‘comfort’ on off road is defined. The rear suspension has less rebound and that isn’t very comfortable at slow speeds. But that is a super boon at higher speeds. When it comes to off road, I’m mostly saddling. So my knees provide most of the suspension. You can see about the 120kmph speeds in this video.
I am in a dilemma between KTM 390 ADV and Honda CB500X... Echh...
In Poland, their prices are very similar, around 7600-8000 US $.
Today going to test ride both and have to make my mind today too.
CB500X is an awesome motorcycle. However, there is no switchable abs at the rear. It can do light off road but you can’t lock the rear. For road usage, CB500X is a fantastic choice.
@prameethprabhu My test rides has finished. The winner is KTM :)
This bike has something, more agile, more lively thanks to lesser weight. Honda is just plain normal bike, nothing special about it.
For me KTM is better, and also more advanced technologically. Honda has better service intervals 12000km or 1 year. KTM has 7500km or 1 year. But 7500 is quite long too.
@@bolo19213 I’m glad you found a motorcycle whose character is in alignment with yours. Honda service interval here is 6000km. KTM service interval here too is the same - 7500km. So, when is the new KTM arriving?
@prameethprabhu Today was no more time left for configuring the bike. On Monday will do this, and than probably have to wait week or two for delivery.
@@bolo19213 Alright. Good luck. Let’s connect on Instagram. Pls update me there about ur motorcycle. You can find me there by the same name
Superb
Awesome 👏🏻
This was a good narrative vlog wells done . I am planning to purchase the Adv X this week ! Only for the tubeless tires . I currently own Himalayan 411 although it's a good machine I am sick and tired of getting a puncture once a month or two . And I am planning to sell this and go for a tubeless Adv motorcycle. I was hoping for Himalayan 450 being tubeless but it never launched for the Indian market . Any tips for the purchase of Ktm 390 Adventure X ! Much appreciated if you give me some . My main riding style would be 90 % of highway and roads . 10% would be offroad 😅
Adv-X is a brilliant tourer for the money we pay for it. I have made another video - KTM vs Plane. Watch that. That will show you what this machine is capable of on 90% on road and 10% bad roads. Adv-X comes with MRF. Grip is good but will get noisy as it crosses 10k km. Only other issue with Adv-X is the trip meter. It wont calculate beyond 1000km. Otherwise its a reliable, fast, fun and trouble free motorcycle. Do subscribe to my channel 🙂
@@prameethprabhu Bro , bought the X series ADV 390 after much needed delay . Thanks to you and your vlogs . Big upgrade from Himi 411 to this bike . Disappointed with the delivery though! No free helmet , no tool kit and no documents (on hand atleast ) . Other than that all seems good . And ive already put in around 100+ km and i love it . Just one question!I didn't get the display protector from them ! Where did you get it
@@prashantha_k Wow!! Congratulations buddy!! So happy for you ❤️ They dont give free helmet. Took kit and medical kit is under the pillion seat. It comes with the bike. Insurance policy would have come as a message, click on the link and download. RC usually takes 3 months to come. But u can download it from digilocker. You dont get any display protector from KTM. Just go to any detailer and ask them to put ppf on the display. Thats what i did when i got my bike. Happy and safe riding.
Amazing 😍
Hey
I am planning to buy one but I am extremely confused which one to go for is it SW version or X version
My driving includes touring and rough patches with undulating topography.
I am attracted to the adjustable suspension and electronics but only that is bothering me is the tube wheel on sw there are after market solution to it but I am not sure what to go for
You can go for the SW and replace spokes with alloys. If you need the spokes, you can try to get a tubeless conversion (jugaad) on it.
@@prameethprabhu will it be reliable😅
I have seen many people doing that on Royal Enfield Himalayan and even on Tiger 800XCA there's small doubt about it nothing else
@@preritshah1908 You never know until you do it. Find someone who is well known for the job.
I could see GR foglamps on ur bike. wont that hamper any warranty???
Not at all. The light system is plug and play. No wires are spliced for this.
Love from Westbengal Ghatal Duspur 🇮🇳👌👌💚💚💚💚 Bro My Next Dream Adv Bike 🚲
❤️❤️ Adv life is awesome. Go for it
Why don't you slow down at the speed breaker!?
I’m just lazy man 🙂
It's an adventure buddy!!
Bhai but Aaj kal speed breaker Kam aur bone breaker jyada bante hai!!!
@@parikxitshinde1778 hahaha. Isliye best option hai ki aap bike pe khade ho jao and let the motorcycle flow under you.
@@prameethprabhu Yeah, that's exactly what I do on my 250 adv
Hi Sir, I was selling my 250 for some stupid reason.... Now I am not damm sure till u ride your x... I just wanted to know how that Head section Vibration controller working of Motourinn...😊
It is sort of confusing. The shake has reduced. But when I am riding on rough surface, the whole front assembly oscillates from side to side. I need to do a bit more R&D to figure out how to stop the oscillation.
@@prameethprabhu Ok Sir, thanks for your information... I have ordered it. Will share my views.
bro pls upload in 2160p
Soon. As of now, I’m limited by the hardware capability.
👍👍👍
Hows the High speed stability of this bike around 100-110 kph.. is it stable or vobbles
Very stable upto 140 kph. Haven’t gone beyond that. Even turning at 100 feels planted.
@@prameethprabhu thanks man this feedback helps
Do you still have the Karizma or you sold it?
I have it. No point in selling that
Bro where did you get that number plate holder which is fixed on your visor ???? Please suggest
Its the metal bracket from Honda Activa. Costs about 120 bucks. Take it to any mechanic and he should be able to fix it.
@@prameethprabhu hehe I saw it on Amazon’s exactly like yours but wanted to confirm …. Coz it was showing that it’s for activa …. Thanks so much bro …. That’s the best place for number plate I guess ….
@@dominar_dude4547 There is another option. A Numberplate holder from Project QuickZ. That also is very nice. Check it on RUclips
3:37 - Is that a 690?
Yup
🤩😄🤩
is this bike asks for too much gear shifting?
Yes. You have to work the gearbox bit more. That said most trails we can do in 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears comfortably
Plz share trail location
Sorry I cannot do that.
😅😅😅 good work
The lights which were used in the night time are stock lights or auxiliary lights
Aux lights. When I shift form high beam to low, the aux light goes off for about half a second and comes back on.
At 48 sec, you can see only stock headlight momentarily when I shift to low beam.
@@prameethprabhuThank you:) There is quite a lot of difference
