The Austrians have just let loose their most accessible adventure bike on the market – and contrary to the rumors going around, KTM kept their 390 Adventure‘s spiffy 373cc, 4-stroke, single-cylinder heart. 

For 2023, a pair of tough-as-nails, black anodized aluminum, spoked wheels have been dressed in CONTINENTAL TKC70 units for prime adventure duty. The obligatory WP APEX suspension, 3.8-gal (14.5-liter) fuel tank, 379 lbs (172kg) weight and lightweight steel trellis chassis also contribute to this model’s particular Rally lean, adding a “full-control stance” for optimal access to all terrain.

Brembo BYBRE brakes (320 front and 230 mm rear discs with four-piston calipers on the front) complete stoppage duties, complemented by a removable two-tier seat, that two-position windshield and LED lights.

Add to this the bike’s Ride-by-wire, Motorcycle Traction Control (MTC), Cornering ABS, OFFROAD mode and linked OFFROAD ABS, and you really couldn’t ask for a more versatile machine to join 2023’s ranks of rev-happy adventure yoinkers.

Oh, and the KTM PowerParts collection will add whatever you need for the next trip, too.
