KTM 390 Adventure [2021] price in Panvel

Almost a perfect bike with minor flaws if you're willing to make adjustments.
- vibrations at low rpm around 3000-4000 rpm. This is bound to happen in single cylinder engines and there is no way around it. Vibes get lowered after 1st service.
- it is a demanding bike and will urge you to keep it in right gear at all times. No way around this.
- seat height is high for short riders. But if you want, you can manage with flat foot on 1 side.
Now the good part:
- extremely planted bike. Be it straight road or curves. It feels really stable.
- best brakes in the segment. Abs is superbly calibrated.
- bulletproof tested 390 engine. It reaches 110-120 kmph very very easily and just glides.
- plenty of aftermarket parts & mods available. You can modify as per your taste.
- commanding seating position which gives really good view of what's in front.
- nice tft screen. Love it.
Overall it is a good touring bike. 100% recommended. Do not fall for reviewers who have not owned this bike.

About the Reviewer

Starting with buying experience, Taking ownership of RC 390 Adventure was quite a hassle free job after completing the paperwork. The bike was delivered on 10th day. As soon as you sit on the bike you feel like God. The tall seat height is aggressive and sharp which contributes to it. Start is quite normal like other bikes, but initial acceleration in first or second gear come with some good vibration, which continues to make their way to your foot pegs and your handle bar. Vibration kept on coming even in 3rd and 4th gear if you are riding below 4000 rpm mark. As soon as you reach in 5th gear or 4000 rpm mark, bike gets super smooth and here comes the real adventure. Performance wise the bike performs excellent on the highway. Road presence of this bike is awesome. Service and maintenance of bike is only what is included in regular for the first service. They charge you max 2000 Rs. and after that I have no idea as I have not yet reached that stage.
Pros are its looks, its high gear performance and riding comfort. Cons include high heat generation when riding in city traffic. It literally felt like you have put your leg in fire or something very hot. Also head light performance is not that great as expected from a adventure tourer. Seat height is 850 mm, it is very difficult to control for short riders. Overall if one is looking to let go the above mentioned cons this bike is really good, go for it and it wont make you regret.
