The cruise control feature is a game changer in the small-segment market and it will force other manufacturers to adopt it too. Excellent upgrade, KTM.
It's pointless feature these days even in cars unless it is adaptive cruise control with radar. Why? Because of the amount of traffic. You will not use it in India cities, not in most of the Europe. Maybe in USA on interstate roads or in Russia Siberia.

@@firstbloood1 fully fueled it won't even be close to 150kg. Just look at the skid plate alone, it needs its own subframe. This bike will also be very top heavy
@@ThiloK9agreed. The standard 390 is 177kg, so there’s no way this is 150kg wet. The new DRZ comes in at 151kg wet, and it’s a dual sport with a small tank. Bigger fairing, bigger wheels, longer suspension means I think it’ll come in around 180-185 wet.
This is good news. I still feel KTM has a massive gap in their product lineup between the 390 and 790 lines. There should be some sort of 590 product line that's a smaller twin.
Problematic? Compared to what? And it's not that old, the current engine is from 2017. Now there's the new Ducati single but other than that everything else on the market are decades older.
Bikes like the 390 only exists because of the A2 license rules. I don't think there will ever be anything between, the market is too small if they can't sell it as an A2 bike.
Here are some questions 1. Weight 2. Why is the exhaust that low, doesn't it decrease ground clearance and affect the center of gravity? 3. Does the bash Plate really need a sub frame, because it's that far away from the engine? 4. Can you show the gap between the bash Plate and the engine on the left side of the bike Other than the exhaust, this bike checks all my boxes, but I think the exhaust is a deal breaker for me...
I'm with you here. They could route the exhaust properly since they already moved rear shock to the side. Looks completely out of place. Engine is still stressed member, so bash plate is again completely useless. It's an improvement nevertheless with ground clearance and greater suspension travel, but looks top heavy.
@@abominacja47 I agree, what's the point of a light ADV or Enduro bike if it's top heavy. On the exc models a few years ago they were excited about lowering the radiators by 2cm for a better cog and centralizing masses. On this bike they don't seem to care about cog at all
This category now the most exciting category now. It's an arms race. RE 450, MT450, and glad to see KTM now. OMG. It will be really hard to decide which now.
Looks like just what the adventure always needed to be! As much as I'm tempted by having an Adventure that is light enough for solo adventuring, I'm waiting for the videos showing us the Enduro and Supermoto as one of these I think will be my next bike!
Mass centralisation (and low on top of that) plus a nice slim tail, with no chance to melt holes into soft luggage. Why not, as long as ground clearance is ok?

i have a neurological desease in my arms and big bikes are hard to control for me. so yeah, that might seem very specific but the 390 is the perfect dimension for some people.
Ummmm. Wouldn’t go that far mate. If I was going lightweight, I’d pick up the new DRZ, put a big tank on it and be done. It’ll be lighter and far more reliable. Because it’s a Suzuki;)
@@mcdonaldslover52 Engine exhaust back pressure is 4 -5 times atmospheric pressure so even in one meter of water the exhaust back pressure would easily over come the hydrostatic pressure of the water there for not allowing water to enter the exhaust pipe. Even if the engine wasn`t running the water depth would have to be above the exhaust valve outlet height to enter the cylinder ( and potentially the exhaust valve could be closed depending on the cam position )

Great small bike for big adventures... I hope they redesigned the footpegs from previous iterations (the other 390s had those sporty/ really uncomfortable ones)
that low muffler is just waiting to ingest water in creek crossings. He said that the Acropovic muffler was an add on so I expect a conventional muffler up the side. It appears that there is a long thin breathing pipe connecting the throttle body to the airbox up high. At least this is an existing motor so lets hope its more reliable than the 790/890 twins. If its under 160kg I will be amazed
There are too many Scrambler and Cruiser bikes on the roads that have underbelly exhaust. They always pass the rivers with low exhaust bike. Dont worry about it. Only mud can cause a problem.
The cruise control feature is a game changer in the small-segment market and it will force other manufacturers to adopt it too.

we will see if price and weight is low enough, if not just buy the CFMOTO 450MT

@martyn_g true
Is tubeless spoke wheel option available ? and what will be the lowest
seat height of this adventure r version ?
everyone is forgetting the worst part about the low exhaust - river crossings! So now you can barely go through a puddle without flooding it
As long as the airbox is high, and the engine does not suck in the water, it should be OK I guess ? Dunno...
Exhaust blows. Airbox sucks. Low pipe means nothing in water.
and wheres the exhaust going to blow when its blocked by water?

Exhaust location is very interesting. Probably out of the way of rocks, but also away from hits if dropped
on the other hand, water crossing will be a challenge with exhaust in that low position

Does it contains slipper clutch or not?

Is there an additional premium to have continued access to the ride modes before they auto shutoff at a default distance traveled?
