Same as the Duke, I suppose. Just put the front wheel of the 390 Adventure on any of the Indian made Dukes (390/250/200) along with similar tyres and voila! You have the 390/250/200 Adventure.
I have watched almost every Indian review of this bike. Everyone was telling like "a good tourer". Most were not satisfied regarding its off-road potential (may be because of alloy wheels 😃). Now i understood the reason. We actually need off-road specialists to review bikes like these
Yeah, but the Adventure is only a little more capable than the Duke for off road use. I mean look at the specs! One inch more ground clearance and just a hair over an inch more suspension travel than the Duke. Other than that it has a 19" front rim and better ergonomics but it is a moderate boost to off road capability at best.
Totally. It was so sad to watch these guys with their tails between their legs.... Motorcycle journalist and they just don't know how to ride.... Or, just have the balls to give it a shot...
If im one of those journalist I would be so stoked to get to ride with Reiman. 3:50 But the question my friends who is ready to complete the loop and take on the mountain once again?😂 Look at their faces 😂
Riemann, you've just blown their minds. I'm sure that there's a million Indian non-journalists who are itching to get their hands on this bike. It is the India-scaled version of what the 990+ bikes are to the rest of here. The seed is planted.
Except that the 990 is a proper adventure bike with proper off road kit. The 390 Adventure, on the hand, is basically the 390 Duke with an extra inch of suspension travel and ground clearance, a 19 inch front wheel and better ergonomics. Also, you talk about Indian "non-journalists" while ignoring the socioeconomics of the country. There is hardly any culture of dirt bikes here as not many people are super rich that they can afford dirt bikes that cost more than most Indian cars. Dirt bikes are not street legal so it is clearly a luxury item out of the reach of a typical upper middle class household. There are very few people in India with the skills to match Adam's. Maybe even in single digits. It takes a lot of money and overcoming a lot of social resistance to get full time into becoming a pro dirt rider or even to develop intermediate skills.
PS: The seed for adventure riding was planted by a bike with a stronger off road focus - the Himalayan. But even that statement is misplaced because we have been going adventure riding on street bikes for decades now.
When I watched the recent reviews of Indian moto journalist of the 390 adventure, they said its not a capable off roader. But its a good road bike. Now I know why. This sweet talking journalist are the ones that is not capable of riding offroad.
Only a skilled rider like Adam can ride the KTM the way its meant to be ridden. I hope our Indian Journalist have learned a thing or two from you. Its soothing to see you ride. Been your fan since "The Himalayan Hero " came out.
@@configT Indeed. And given how expensive it is to import and maintain a dirt/rally/enduro bike in India, not many people can actually get to that skill level.
they are not used to ride while standing. that's why the RE himalayan is famous to them. they can slowly crawl those terrains while both feet on the ground.
@@xterrential Agreed. But out of 1.3B people in India, how many of them does hardcore off roading. If there are any such enthusiasts, they will definitely not look at this bike as this an entry level model. In the video he clearly specified that KTM wants to introduce Indians to off road. Also think from cost benefit ratio and that's why they even ripped off adjustable front suspension to keep the cost down.
Real faces of so called RUclipsrs of Inida :) But the question my friends who is ready to complete the loop and take on the mountain once again?😂 Look at their faces :) I am sure that Sagar would have done a good job on this trail.

Mann you guys come to northeast.. we do off road terrains on our hero super splendour bikes 🤣🤣 with a machine like that .. that terrain is a highway for us.. not exagerating..i mean it
i've been ride my duke390 off road for long time so no doubt this bike is going to be a perfect machine for me. Only thing that breaks my heart is KTM could call riders with off road experience to test the machine rather than calling fancy journalists who can't even saddle uphill on trail. No doubt KTM is one of the best off road machine manufacturer worldwide. Just missed a chance to meet Adam. May be next time
Awesome. I already knew the reality of fancy full packed riding gear wearing so called riders but you showed the truth on RUclips. I am already frustrated by the RUclips riders, commenters in this RUclips platform blabbering about their costly Bmw or triumphs, they know everything except Riding
@@neel26nilesh Keep in mind that I rode an RC390 from Mumbai to Pune (3.5 hours), rode the ADV for 4 hours, had to film my own content and then ride back to Mumbai again. Not denying that I'm an offroad novice but its easy to criticize from the comfort of a computer chair. Also, while Adam didn't show it in the video, we did go for another round :D. Thoroughly enjoyed riding with you Adam. Hope to do this again sometime soon. Ride safe.

Great video start to finish and a fun and long awaited bike.. "this is the beginning of adventure motorcycling in India", is a bit of an exaggeration, mate😅🍻
Thank God for this video ❤️😂 Auto journalists should educate themselves a lot more on all types of motorcycles before reviewing off-road motorcycles with fixed understanding and providing with misleading reviews.
Now imagine these same journalists on a big 1290 super adventure on that same rocky uphill trail 😳. That comparison reveals how good the 390 adv is due to light weight for a beginner- average level rider.
Another great promotional video for KTM. Suspension looks soft and those guys couldn't ride themselves out of a wet paper bag. I bet they fly through traffic though.
The ones who need a offroad motorcycle easily manage with a 100/150cc rugged motorcycle on a daily basis. They are also the ones who cannot afford a KTM 390 Adv or likes. While the ones (i'm talking about Indians) who brag about 'going places' on a ADV hardly have any skill to ride offroad. A skilled offroader who can afford a adv is still a niche in India. Nice video though !
If a pulsar 180 (with pillion) can do the job in Mustang valley for most of the Nepalis, then I'm sure Xpulse does it with a lot of grace. 80% of rider and 20% of the motorcycle still holds good! Adam just demonstrated that in this video.
Awesome post. After watching this, the capabilities of the bike are appealing at this price point. By the way, Where is this track located? Surrounded by greenery looks beautiful.
Moto journalists are of what mopeds? So nice to see you put them up against all but small but real adventure motorcycle in a real motorcycle environment. I like brutal honest good or bad reviews . I currently own a 2016 Africa twin but I am seriously thinking of buy this KTM.
Welcome to all adventures Indian riders. Your terrains and the capable machines are waiting for you. Let them do with the classic look but you go Ready to Race.
Great work as usual. Will be excited to see this one come out. There are quite a few great adventure riders in India I know but like you said it's a HUGE country and it's not at all common.
Best Launch by the best rider... I had a great wish to ride with you, sad that Ktm didn't make it happen for me. Oh yes for sure would have tried that loop once more and rode with you to the mountain again😁😁😁. Desparately waiting to ride this bike, hope I can meet you sometime in the future.
Bulu bhai ~ frankly we missed u so much. Eagerly waiting when came to know that KTM invited some Indian youtubers for the review in proper off road. Pretty disappointed after not seeing u there. The way you had driven Xpulse in Mustang was mind blowing. YOU'RE TRULY ONE OF THE BEST INDIAN MOTO VLOGGER. Has KTM planned another such test ride for South India ? Couldn't see you along with Sriman Kotaru, Junaid bhai (Art of Motorcycle).
common KTM INDIA, how could you miss Bulu bhai and Junaid bhai for such a launch? these are the people who tour on such roads through out the day, please watch their videos sometime. These auto journalists can maximum hold the show for an hr or 2 anything more then that is a curse for them. seriously bulu bhai I waited for your video for a quite a long and now I understand why there is no video. Anyways hope you get the bike soon and take it to upper mustang again bhai, that will be real review.
@@pinkesh2703 absolutely agree brother but please don't compare sriman with junaid bhai and bulu bhai brother, he went to sikkim and finally for the off roads they park their bikes in the hotel and take a car for rent.

@@salim6774 Not comparing each other but he is much popular n doing rides every month being a moto vlogger. May be on one ride, he chose a car but I guess he had clutch plate issue at that time.
KTM 390 got an insane amount of power, but the heating issues still not figured out. As said that on the first gear it can hit to 60 easily but moving forward on those first gear at the times makes your bike more heat up & pumped harder. Actually, it needs to be taken care of it.
Hey Adam, Pat Brady here from the old trail and enduro club days. Just getting back on a bike after a short 20 year break ha ha. Far out mate you have done some amazing things with your dirt bike passion, reckon you probably even have a car that has a clutch that works these days hey ;-)
Hey Riemann you nailed it dude! You have mentioned exactly what they are.......... How funny those idiots couldn't coupe up with you, when I rode the trails in Fruita,CO Ive experienced it personally... Next time when you are in India let me know will ride together....
Another great video brother! I’m not sure why there are so many unflattering remarks towards the Indian moto journalist. Some rode rather well actually, and the rest are street biased riders, so off-road is new to them. A lot of those guys ride in congested urban areas and are probably capable of navigating and riding in such a way that would make most of American and Euro riders crap their pants. I’m just saying, lets be more respectful to our fellow riders. They’ve kinda inspired me to want to get out and ride more. Lastly, I wish KTM would make a 690 Adventure but it would probably cannibalize 390 & 790 sales, so probably not going to happen. Peace ✌️
Motowipeout What!!?? These guys are look like newbies! This is the same as terrain we take for granted up here in North Eastern Ontario Canada. I’ll give them an E for effort though. I’m sure they’re going to be hooked on off road after this.
A 490 ADV with twin cylinders is on the horizon, to be manufactured in India as a global model. Could be a MY2021 model at the very least. Apropos, a 690 ADV may not make sense in the lineup right now. But, nothing is written in stone! Who knows after 2-3 years of retailing the 490 ADV in India, a 690 ADV twin could be developed.
Mr. Riemann you need to get some real riders to test out your 390 Adventure and not these media clowns. It's a shame that KTM could not find a hand full of hard core adventure riders in India . And believe me no one takes these guys, seriously and neither will their reviews make much of an impact on the sale of this bike. What will impact this bike will be the reviews of a few famous Indian RUclipsrs on a 2000 kilometer ride through India .
I landed on this video searching on how to do log jumps on my 390 adv. It’s surprising to see some of these known faces ride so weak off-roads. My lesson learned is Indian riding community needs non scripted content to be educated with facts and not opinions/narratives. The bike is immense capable to take a beating, I can tell from first hand experience of riding this bike alongside Enduros - it can do way more than you can do! Back to what I was looking for - can you help me get this bike bunny hop over logs. I end up hitting the bash plate so far every time I try
How I would kill for a chance to ride this terrain with this bike! Even more so with Reimann!! Really sad to see the expressions when Reimann asked for a full loop ride. EDIT: After reading a few more comments, also read that some of the reviewers weren't in their best form. For them, I totally understand your situation. But at the same time, feel that pre-planning an off-road experience would have helped you enjoy it more. Just my 2¢.
@@mokujin29 I believe one or two of the reviewers had ridden from far off places to attend this, following which they had to do all the video shoots themselves. But the others were here with a whole crew. That Powerdrift guy was absolutely killing it on the Adv! 👌🏻 Also, there was girl reviewer who had the most hilarious fall.. 😂😂😂 Few of my girl-rider friends, too, have expressed their distaste at her riding skill. Hope this helps. ✌🏻
@@Bunno1177 please look at stats before making a comment like this. KTM's ADV bikes are new to us, but India has been one of the top-selling markets for the 200, 250, 390 and recently also the 125, both Duke and RC counterparts. Heck, they're all made in India, for the rest of the world.
Man these guys should have stayed away from this launch. Litmus test for many. So fragile. No wonder that most bikes shown in their reviews had damage around the tank and handles. Anyways, this bike sure has made me excited enough to buy it and enjoy riding in my 30s.
I'm Happy that Reiman Sensei visited India sometime but at the same time it's an immense amount of pain for me to not be capable to meet him😭😭😭😭Seeing Sarge right on the front seat showed what level of extraordinary tutorial Sensei gave. Once in this life I'm visiting you master, no sh*t comes in middle👺👺👺👺👺
These guys remind me of when I worked in the IT department for a magazine company. This "Technical Writer" who writes about computer gear would regular call the IT department (usually me) to get one of his gadgets to work. It was so sad. I don't really even care that they can't ride off-road. That none of these guys were like "Yeah, let's do the loop!"... All talk. No action. So sad...
Supermoto central I am big fan of supermoto bikes, But in India we don't have any supermoto bikes. Is this bike close to supermoto.?? If we change the wheel to spokes.
After following this bike closely I was surprised by the amount of Indian reviewers that said it didn't perform well off road and was more for just touring.... I think your video shows what really happened on those days, the bike seems extremely capable off road and looks great fun but the reviewers looked like they didn't know what they were doing besides the odd one or two... This isn't any hate just abit surprised to see the bike is in fact very good off road and a few of these reviews currently out might be based on rider talent than what the bikes actually capable of
Was excited to see you on the Indian review videos, but yours shows the reality of what happened that day 😅
Reiman them a new one
I was keen to see even if one of them would be interested for the next loop.

How about the same type of adventure with adventure 250, doable?
Hey Adam, Pat Brady here from the old trail and enduro club days. Just getting back on a bike after a short 20 year break ha ha.
Far out mate you have done some amazing things with your dirt bike passion, reckon you probably even have a car that has a clutch that works these days hey ;-)
Pat Brady ... no way! Good to hear you're finding your way back. Please tell me you still have that DR350 tucked away somewhere?
Ha ha i wish mate, just got a fire breathing ttr250 to ride to work on but I think I may be on a slippery slope now.
Mah man Brady.
Hey Riemann you nailed it dude! You have mentioned exactly what they are..........
How funny those idiots couldn't coupe up with you, when I rode the trails in Fruita,CO Ive experienced it personally... Next time when you are in India let me know will ride together....
Hahhahaha
Riemann ripped them all. Cleared the misconception of all those called indian moto journalists. Haha Sacchai(truth, exposed).
feels great to see a video shot in India on your channel
Super awesome. You killed all the moto journos and their reviews with that question 😂😂😂
Another great video brother!
I’m not sure why there are so many unflattering remarks towards the Indian moto journalist. Some rode rather well actually, and the rest are street biased riders, so off-road is new to them. A lot of those guys ride in congested urban areas and are probably capable of navigating and riding in such a way that would make most of American and Euro riders crap their pants. I’m just saying, lets be more respectful to our fellow riders. They’ve kinda inspired me to want to get out and ride more.
Lastly, I wish KTM would make a 690 Adventure but it would probably cannibalize 390 & 790 sales, so probably not going to happen.
Peace ✌️
Motowipeout What!!?? These guys are look like newbies! This is the same as terrain we take for granted up here in North Eastern Ontario Canada. I’ll give them an E for effort though. I’m sure they’re going to be hooked on off road after this.
A 490 ADV with twin cylinders is on the horizon, to be manufactured in India as a global model. Could be a MY2021 model at the very least.
Apropos, a 690 ADV may not make sense in the lineup right now. But, nothing is written in stone! Who knows after 2-3 years of retailing the 490 ADV in India, a 690 ADV twin could be developed.
Prasenjit Debroy a 490 twin sounds interesting indeed, I’ll look forward to seeing more information about this when it becomes available.
🏍🏍🏍 come on keep going 😂😂😂 thanks @ariemann... loved the vid!
Mr. Riemann you need to get some real riders to test out your 390 Adventure and not these media clowns. It's a shame that KTM could not find a hand full of hard core adventure riders in India . And believe me no one takes these guys, seriously and neither will their reviews make much of an impact on the sale of this bike. What will impact this bike will be the reviews of a few famous Indian RUclipsrs on a 2000 kilometer ride through India .
Stoked! Just picked one up here in SoCal. It’s going to compliment my EXC in our Souther California terrain. Thanks for the great videos 🤘
I am just happy to see sarge here 👍👌
Thanks Adam for another great video.
I landed on this video searching on how to do log jumps on my 390 adv. It’s surprising to see some of these known faces ride so weak off-roads. My lesson learned is Indian riding community needs non scripted content to be educated with facts and not opinions/narratives.
The bike is immense capable to take a beating, I can tell from first hand experience of riding this bike alongside Enduros - it can do way more than you can do!
Back to what I was looking for - can you help me get this bike bunny hop over logs. I end up hitting the bash plate so far every time I try
Can't wait to see it with 6 people and the chickens on board going to town.
Hahahahha
Your land of adventure is waiting for you 💕™️
thanks nikhil bhaiya for recommending @mumbikernikhil
Awesome vodeoo
How I would kill for a chance to ride this terrain with this bike! Even more so with Reimann!!
Really sad to see the expressions when Reimann asked for a full loop ride.
EDIT: After reading a few more comments, also read that some of the reviewers weren't in their best form. For them, I totally understand your situation. But at the same time, feel that pre-planning an off-road experience would have helped you enjoy it more. Just my 2¢.
How do you define a form ?
@@mokujin29 I believe one or two of the reviewers had ridden from far off places to attend this, following which they had to do all the video shoots themselves.
But the others were here with a whole crew.
That Powerdrift guy was absolutely killing it on the Adv! 👌🏻
Also, there was girl reviewer who had the most hilarious fall.. 😂😂😂
Few of my girl-rider friends, too, have expressed their distaste at her riding skill.
Hope this helps. ✌🏻
Very good bike 👍🏼
Ultimate Adventure riding! Typical A Rieman style.
Best review video i have seen till date ❤😅🤣
Nothing says looking after the customers that built your company with an official launch like doing it in a country where you have zero customers
Good call.
Zero customer?
@@raw7s784 yes zero. How many already ride ktm motorbikes.
Yes big potential market but u completely missed the point of my comment
@@Bunno1177 please look at stats before making a comment like this. KTM's ADV bikes are new to us, but India has been one of the top-selling markets for the 200, 250, 390 and recently also the 125, both Duke and RC counterparts. Heck, they're all made in India, for the rest of the world.
@@neelchat594 please read my comment over and over until you understand what I have said. When you understand you will realise you don't need to reply
@ARiemann1 how many bikes do you own? obviously i get you dont own most on your channel but how many
Just the one bike, Bryce. The ol' 07 CR250R. Everything else I've had to give back.
Awesome! KTM is KTM!!
Now... Where are those who were crying like hell for not having spoke wheels????
Great bike 🤘🤘🤘
Cool looking little bike. Wonder if Australia will get it.
Man these guys should have stayed away from this launch. Litmus test for many. So fragile. No wonder that most bikes shown in their reviews had damage around the tank and handles.
Anyways, this bike sure has made me excited enough to buy it and enjoy riding in my 30s.
I'm Happy that Reiman Sensei visited India sometime but at the same time it's an immense amount of pain for me to not be capable to meet him😭😭😭😭Seeing Sarge right on the front seat showed what level of extraordinary tutorial Sensei gave. Once in this life I'm visiting you master, no sh*t comes in middle👺👺👺👺👺
These guys remind me of when I worked in the IT department for a magazine company. This "Technical Writer" who writes about computer gear would regular call the IT department (usually me) to get one of his gadgets to work. It was so sad.
I don't really even care that they can't ride off-road. That none of these guys were like "Yeah, let's do the loop!"... All talk. No action. So sad...
All show and no go , its the natural order in all of South Asia.
Why they put cast wheels on these things is totally beyond me 🤷🏼♂️
Supermoto central I am big fan of supermoto bikes, But in India we don't have any supermoto bikes. Is this bike close to supermoto.?? If we change the wheel to spokes.
@@ashishgari2377 Wait for the 2021 KTM 490 SMC
A. To keep it at a lower price point
B. 90% End users won't be taking the 390 ADV for major offroading
you can get spoke wheels as option. power parts . how much I don t know??
@@ashishgari2377 lol really in NEPAL you can find tons of supermotos on the weekends & dirt/enduros.
Adam : who's ready to complete the loop and ride the mountain once more?
Others: ????
The look on their faces !!😂😂😂
1:05. He is. Varun painter the famous auto journalist
So called
It's about time he started Painting instead. I unsubscribed from Powerdrift because I find this guy to be too oversmart and annoying.
@@VikramSingh-kq2bx Word.
The music is superb!
This isn't adventure riding, this is cross-country racing. Adventure riding is riding beyond the end of the map.
is it ?
After following this bike closely I was surprised by the amount of Indian reviewers that said it didn't perform well off road and was more for just touring.... I think your video shows what really happened on those days, the bike seems extremely capable off road and looks great fun but the reviewers looked like they didn't know what they were doing besides the odd one or two... This isn't any hate just abit surprised to see the bike is in fact very good off road and a few of these reviews currently out might be based on rider talent than what the bikes actually capable of
ITs not hate if its reality.
3:55.....sabki phat li 😂😂😂

Edit : This off road track is of Junaid bhai in Bangalore ...
I came here for the video, stayed here for the comments. oof!
We missed Junaid Bhai in this video 😌 one of the best trail rider in India 🇮🇳
Bhai India mein jo dikhta hai voh bikta hai
Mindblowingggg!!!!!💯❣💥

from India
Haah. Most of them just wanted to have good meals and push some toggle buttons and talk about how the new plastics look :D
Me watching this video, going "aaauuuuukaaaaaattttttt!!" in my head
Who’s here after nikhil bhai’s story
By the the way, thanks Rieman for showing them how.
