Mild protection via belly pan when 200mm ground clearance runs out.

LED lighting all-around. Tail-light looks great and works well too.

Short windscreen is not adjustable. KTM sells an optional taller screen.

So far, our time with the KTM 390 Adventure had been limited to about an hour on a hardcore off-road trail, and another hour on the roads near Lonavala. That, however, just wasn’t enough time to give you a proper verdict, especially for a bike as potent as this. And that is why, at the first opportunity we got, we put the KTM 390 Adventure through a comprehensive road test.
