                • Pros
                • Cons
                • KTM 390 Adventure X

                  • More affordable alternative to the 2025 390 Adventure
                  • 825mm seat height is 5mm lower than the 390 Adventure, making it easier to ride for shorter riders
                  • Gets all electronic features as 390 Adventure, including cruise control and ride modes

                  Yamaha R3

                  • Design - looks like a proper Japanese sportsbike and will grab a lot of attention
                  • Versatile engine - tractable enough for city rides and rev-happy enough to enjoy being ridden hard
                  • Handling - changes direction with minimal efforts and inspires a lot of confidence when tipped into corners
                  • Comfort - tall clip-ons and a relatively upright riding posture means it’s quite comfortable for a sportsbike
                • KTM 390 Adventure X

                  • Does not get tubeless spoke wheels
                  • Misses out on adjustable suspension

                  Yamaha R3

                  • Cramped lower body ergonomics - riders above 5’10 will find the lower body ergonomics quite tight
                  • No features - quickshifter, traction control and every Bluetooth connectivity, the R3’s console misses out on a lot of things that other bikes in the segment offer as standard. All it gets is a digital console and ABS
                  • A price tag of Rs 4,64,900 (ex-showroom Delhi) makes the R3 a very expensive bike
                  • The R3 is expensive and not the best value for your money. That said, it’s still a very reliable, fri

                  Best in segment
                  I am doing long ride on week end also for lite affordable i see many other options like Himalayan 450 but bit heavy for me so I choose ktm adventure because it's light weight easy to ride on highway also good feature of electrical side. On highway I am getting mileage of 30 to 37 kmpl depends on engine rpm this bike effortlessly crush on 120kmph to 140kmph with any engine stress also riding poser is good comfortable in city it's easy to manoeuvre in traffic. Here is my reason to choose ktm light weight good mileage best electric feature like riding mode cornering abs best tft counsel also you get accessories port bottom, also engine power is best in class no match for ktm.

                  My First KTM - Powerful and comfortable
                  First time KTM owner. Wanted a bike mainly for highway touring and city rides. X plus felt balanced and practical not extreme offroad. Test ride at KTM helped decide. Always wanted a KTM but due to my tall height was waiting for a taller bike, which I got atlast Done around 4500kms already in 4 months. Very stable on highways and easily touches 150kmph. City riding is okay but heats up in traffic but that is expected because the engine is a highly compressed 400cc single cylinder. Mileage is 19-20 in city and around 28 in highways. Yes, I would recommend it for riders who want touring comfort, strong performance and balanced offroad ability. Good balance bike if your usage is city plus highways. It can easily handle even off-roading, you will be surprised by its performance and handling.

                  Coolest ADV
                  Multiple adventure bikes available in the market but KTM adventure still stand the best due to its ride quality not only on off road but also on the road. the stability is unbeatable, never makes you feel any types of bumps or pothole on the road and ofcourse the bike is made for off road so on off road its a beast meanwhile its looks are also very sporty and attention seeking.

                  It was an memorable thing
                  It was an memorable thing that happened in my life were my Dad presented me a bike on my birthday. And the bike was my one of the dream bike to buy in my life. The dual led headlights and sculpted fuel tank give it a premium, aggressive look. Fuel efficiency is around 40-45 kmpl, depending on riding conditions.
