KTM 390 Adventure
entry-level Adventure Bike of the Year
the two entry-level ADVs that were competing for this award were the KTM 250 Adventure and the KTM 390 Adventure. After carefully analysing both, the KTM 390 Adventure was picked as the winner. The bike uses the same 373.2-cc engine seen in the BS6 390 Duke and the power figures are the same as well, except for some changes in its mapping to facilitate a meatier mid-range. The new elements on the KTM 390 Adventure include 19- and 17-inch alloy wheels at the front and rear, which get 100/90-19 and 130/80-17 tyres respectively. As noted by jury member Anosh when he reviewed the motorcycle, ‘The bike does it all and seems like a perfect tool for an off-road enthusiast to learn the ropes before moving on to something bigger, while still serving as a daily ride through the week.’
