Better bike for off road fun
Better for off road or the people who belong to hilly areas. People who belong to undeveloped areas and they don't have good road also can buy . Like I'm belonging from jharkhand state, here we don't have good road so I'll surely going to buy this bike so i can enjoy ride and this is also comfortable for me .

Dirt bike design
The design is like dirt bikes, with that affordability, with decent speed, but for Indian roads, it's amazing, those who want dirt bike, or off road bike, I suggest you definitely go for it. With 390 enduro, you can go off road, and into rugged terrains. Or I will suggest that you buy KTM 390 Adventure 2025, for off road, commuting, speed, and travelling. Must buy bike

Once Mount Abu Ride pr lekr gya tha kafi maza aya chla kr. Bike ki breaking kafi aachi hai. Bike comfortable h like R3 ke jaise haat dhukne nhi ate isme. Sitting posture normal sporty hai. Chaprio jaise nhi chlane pdte.
