those guys are complaining about seat height don't know much about adventure bikes.... if you really care about seat height why go for adventure bike go for mid segment cruiser bike where seat height doesn't matter
Because the average height of Indians is around 5.5". The Himalayan is also an adventure bike with low seat height and fantastic long travel suspension along with Ktm who also has a low seat height variant of current 390 adv. So this perspective of all must have tall seats only is a bit narrow and limited.
You have to limit one for the other. If you limit your suspension travel, you get a low seat, if you limit seat height, you get a comparatively shorter suspension travel. It's like a trade off and yes Himalayan has good suspension travel but not as good as this bike.
himi 450 and mt450 are adv with low seat height ktm should have a lower option to cater majority of the market. average height of men globally is 5'7..
@tazzjazz This is the Adventure R. The Regular Adventure will definitely come with a shorter seat height. The same as Xpulse and Xpulse Rally edition. They're both different in heights as well. If you're planning to daily an Adventure R, good luck if you're not above 6 feet.
I have only 8k on my 390 as I have 3 other bikes, but I have had no issues with the engine. It is the smoothest single I have ridden and it has plenty of pep for this 180 pd rider. I have owned several KTMs since 2003 and reliability has been very good which surprised me given their high performance. Are they has reliable as a Japanese bike, no but I love them. It is hard to have Japanese reliability and cutting edge technology in a high performance bike.
I own the 2020 and love the bike but I always wished it had a 21 inch tubeless wheel and 2 more inches of travel. They keep improving this bike and it looks awesome. I wish they could do more to lower the weight. I can't wait to see one in person. My 390 is comfortable on the road and awesome as a canyon carver , which is nice since I am on the road 90% of the time with this bike.
Are there no pictures/videos of the touring oriented variant that comes with alloy wheels and tubeless tyres? These hardcore variants are pretty useless for the majority of junta except those who need to do hardcore off-roading/rally racing.
Great summary overview the only concern is the low under slung exhaust system even with a skid plate it will get damaged if used for off road situations will there be an option?
Now, I'm tempted to wait for a parallel twin (between the Tuareg 457 and the F450GS for longer rides) and choose between the KLX 230, the Hero Xpulse 210,the KTM 390 Enduro and the 390 Adv R, for trails/enduro riding.
It’s probably the best looking small adventure bike in the show , in my view. If they can get the weight down to Honda CRF levels, it will be even more attractive.
I’m on the Tuareg 660 and price wasn’t that bad. The weight estimate of the 390R is what caught my attention. The Tuareg 660 comes in at 450lbs so the new Adventure is pretty heavy considering the displacement difference. I wonder if they still put tubes in the new bike
The weight is a bummer but sort of expected with all the features it brings i guess. If they'd done mid 170's, that would've been the sweet spot. Also if it is 3.5ex, ill pick it up gor sure. I hope the akra and other cool accessories make it to India.
Coz the just the tip being low won't get the water/debris into the machine. They know wtf they are doin, we gotta ease up on these repetitive questions.
Those who are tall and doing adventure off road every time they can bought but i dont think i will buy this variant or i want to see other verision adventure which will small or i can also drive every time that bike easily anywhere
True that. There should definitely be a variant be with tubeless tyres and alloy wheels. These hardcore variants are pretty useless for majority of the junta.
Nice info 👌. I think the suspension is wp apex. It is also on the description on the wall. XPLOR Pro may come as an accessory package at a good price. It is currently only on limited edition 890 adv R Rally ( among adv bikes)
Your enthusiasm is off the scale. Keep up the good work.
AWESOME, when is KTM launching it in India.
KTM should take lead and encash it before others change.

Exactly, simple physics states that suspension travel dictates a certain amount of seat height there’s no getting around it
I like persons energy who is explaining everything. Great buddy keep it up
5:55 That's Down to Earth walk around video😅😅

Going to the down for group clearance .u guys r killing it
Actually loving the EICMA updates from AckoDrive! Well done guys!
Bro the bike is majestic and your review was very clear and enthusiastic btw whats ur height
I own the 2020 and love the bike but I always wished it had a 21 inch tubeless wheel and 2 more inches of travel. They keep improving this bike and it looks awesome.

What is ktm engine reliability?
Fantastic bike, packed with all the necessary features to be a brilliant adventure bike.
Are there no pictures/videos of the touring oriented variant that comes with alloy wheels and tubeless tyres?
These hardcore variants are pretty useless for the majority of junta except those who need to do hardcore off-roading/rally racing.
u guys are killing it this eicma. subscribed!!!

By mid 2025 TVS will also bring their Adv/scrambler which have 250 to 300 cc engine and not the 310 cc
But why an underbelly exhaust? For an adv
Thanks for covering this in depth!! and nice to see you as excited about it like we are!!!
It’s probably the best looking small adventure bike in the show , in my view. If they can get the weight down to Honda CRF levels, it will be even more attractive.
Thank you Acko drive for bringing reviews of all these wonderful bikes from EICMA.
What's the news of tubeless tyres?
Brilliant!! thanx for the videos!
how tall are you mate?
All the "details" you find cool about this bike is pretty much standard KTM business. They are one of the big players in off-roaders
Price will go up to 5 lakhs
Exciting time to be alive
Please do a detailed video of Enduro R
When will we adventure twin 490 or twin 590 something around 60-70 hp?
(between 390 with 45 hp and 790 with 95 hp)
Finally someone is putting cruise control on a lower capacity bike!
Already Booked 🎉😍✅
How? It has not even launched!
Loved this presentation. Nice work. Eicma 2024 is really bringing out some nice stuff.
Option for tubeless spoke wheel available?
If KTM wants to make it as a deal breaker in India, then seat height must be 800-820.
I don't think you understand what the word deal-breaker means...😅
Thank you for that. How tall is the reporter? Is there's a dedicated "abs off button"?
Loved your EICMA coverage, man
Wow! Superb machine, waiting for the launch! Hope they will make it available in Dec or January itself
The looks ⭐⭐
The price ⭐⭐⭐
The performance & handling ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Lil bro knows nothing about bikes bro this looks like the same model in Dakar rally
The adventure R can I also use it for touring ?
bro you missed out on soooo much information, please make another video with more information
Is it built on same frame as current gen duke 390? os is it built entirely for off-road purpose?
how tall are you?
They better have reworked that engines torque curve. And you all are going to be disappointed with the wet weight.
Don't listen to one's who are complaining..... they are fashion disasters 😂 ... launch it as it is.... i super like it !
6:07 Bro was sleeping
185kg?!! it's to heavy for what it supposed to be... the 690 is by far a better deal!!!
is there USB charging >?
Yep
Kudos to your enthusiasm. Long way to go but not far from it❤
The one on display is loaded with hardparts
Of course Adventure 390, I will pickup
Please make a detailed video on the 390 enduro ?
i assume this but lighter and cheaper
is this going to be launched in india ?
yes its made for India....
bruh, your underpaid nephew is the one assembling it. 😂
@@breakerbadiaz12 IDK but the seat height
Tube tyres?? Or spoked tubeless???
Great job bro❤
Rip to Himalayan
Will wait for 450 gs ❤
The same 399cc as the old Duke? The old Duke had 373cc right?
Keeping my fingers crossed hoping that KTM-Husqvarna-Bajaj either bring the Vitpilen 401 or the SMC390 to India
is seat height is same as before 855mm-860mm range? one spec leak says its around 885mm
Jehan's under the bike scene was nice you guys can do that more often😜
What’s ur height?😊
Great, I've been waiting for this bike.
I hope I can handle the seat height.😀
Want to see the F450 GS on this channel
Great explanation 👌
Pls make a video of other version of xpulse210..
Dark colour option ?
That WP Xplor pro surprised the most..😱😱😱😱😱😱
what is your height jehan ?? that would be easier for uss to compare
5.95
@_Harman thanks man 🤝 glad to know I can put one foot down ✌️
we need a 250 version
Where is the less hard core, alloy version?
95% of owners will not go off road while still wanting this bike 😂
Cheers
I swear I so want this for the snob value I'll have on traffic lights. Sadly even a 5'11 man is short for this.
Our city roads are just like off road only
5% will go off-road, not wanting this bike 😅
well indian roads are itself a adventure lol
Looks nice but I’ll buy the Aprilia Turang 457 over this
cost will dismay.......
I’m on the Tuareg 660 and price wasn’t that bad. The weight estimate of the 390R is what caught my attention. The Tuareg 660 comes in at 450lbs so the new Adventure is pretty heavy considering the displacement difference. I wonder if they still put tubes in the new bike

Is the hero colour?
Need more details on adv x
I will go with ktm
Why the hell is the exhaust lying low?
Coz the just the tip being low won't get the water/debris into the machine. They know wtf they are doin, we gotta ease up on these repetitive questions.
@TheRS765 why doesn't 890 R have it then? Stupid cost cutting technologies
Those who are tall and doing adventure off road every time they can bought but i dont think i will buy this variant or i want to see other verision adventure which will small or i can also drive every time that bike easily anywhere
True that. There should definitely be a variant be with tubeless tyres and alloy wheels. These hardcore variants are pretty useless for majority of the junta.
What is the seat height bro
When launch
KTM is killing it this season in EICMA!!...REs are the most 3rd class motorcycles to be showcased here.
Bro,,,,create own noise over a engine in ecima
plz do detail video on xpulse 210
India mei kab ayega .. kya yeh 5 lacs tak available hoga.
I love this bike. I will bought it ❤
Well elaborated

What’s your inseam?
26😂😂
Nice info 👌. I think the suspension is wp apex. It is also on the description on the wall. XPLOR Pro may come as an accessory package at a good price. It is currently only on limited edition 890 adv R Rally ( among adv bikes)
how tall are you sir? as i want to roughly know about the seat height
He says 860, but other sources says 885mm, not sure who to believe.
why their is no TVS bikes in event so far ................
Where is 390 ADV X?
L O V E KTM
You guys are milking this eichma very well.
Every auto journalists are doing the same n of course they should, cos this is the best time of the year to maximize. . .
What a dumb comment.
Eicma
Only the KTM 390 ADVENTURE R deserves to be milked
As they should dude 😂
What a beauty man🤎
Bro maintenance over bro India price over 😌😌😌😌😌😞
i personally did not like the silencer placement
Join the club buddy
show the SMC properly!
This is ktm adventure r , so what about old ktm adventure 390?
With 880 mm seat height, very less chance of this 21/18 wheel combo coming to India.
My eyes on 390 enduro in background 😂
My only problem will be with the rounded side mirrors. Hope they change it to other than round.
Side as opposed to what
