KTM Pro-XP: Daniel Nadar - “KTM Pro-XP Helps Me Follow My Passion”
After riding his friend’s 2022 KTM 390 Adventure, Daniel decided to take the leap and get a 2025 390 Adventure for himself
Daniel Nadar is a senior IT consultant who, in his spare time, enjoys touring on his new 2025 KTM 390 Adventure. We had a chance to speak to him during the KTM Pro-XP event in Mumbai, and this is what he had to say about his experience with the brand and KTM Pro-XP.
The Start
Daniel fondly remembers the time when he started motorcycling, for him the passion for two-wheelers started since the time he learnt how to ride. They say four-wheels move the body, but two-wheels move the soul, and this is absolutely true in Daniel’s case. He said, “Bikes keep me moving even when the traffic stops, and this brings great excitement to ride”.
Since beginning his journey into motorcycling, Daniel has owned multiple bikes. His last bike was a cruiser, and he had done many tours on it. But now he has decided to make the switch to a 2025 KTM 390 Adventure.
The Switch
The decision to switch to a KTM bike came after Daniel went down to India Bike Week 2024 in Goa. For the trip he had borrowed his friend's 2022 KTM 390 Adventure, and completed the Mumbai to Goa trip in less than 8 hours. According to him “That was the craziest part, I got very excited and felt very confident on that bike”, and this was what motivated him to get the new 2025 KTM 390 Adventure.
Over the years, Daniel has ridden many bikes, mostly borrowed from friends. When we asked him what made KTM different, he said “What I wanted the most was power and performance, and KTM was what gave me proper performance”.
KTM Pro-XP Experience
This was the first time Daniel has come for a KTM Pro-XP event, and being able to experience the 2025 KTM 390 Adventure offroad was quite enjoyable. One of the changes that KTM Pro-XP has brought is giving Daniel the confidence that he can ride offroad without dropping the bike.
He also said that he will be looking more into off-roading, and as a beginner, he is always open to learning from the experts. Another thing which he spoke about is how you can always make time for your passion, regardless of what you do. He said, “People from IT think they don’t have time”. He further added, “See the thing is, it doesn’t matter where you are, if you have the will, if you really want to follow your passion, then you have to come out and that’s where KTM Pro-XP helps me”.
KTM 390 Adventure S User Reviews
- Ready to Adventure.I also have a Duke, Adv has covered all the issues which I have faced on Duke when I use to go on long rides, Ride is also plush coupled with a great engine which proves itself on all grounds. Also it has a decent fuel efficiency considering its engine performance. Bike's comfortable its mileage is also good I get a decent range, but the engine won't feel as raw as BS4 duke, great electronics and safety. Just having engine oil consumption on higher side. Also the Trampler tyres give more life than Turanzas which came initially. Long hauling person should definitely buy this bike, long rides are so hassle free. And comfortable, also if you have to carry any luggage they have provided good anchoring points. Tieing a back pack or a duffle bag is easy.Read More6
- review of KTM 390 Adventure S after 2 monthsI wanted one bike that could handle daily city rides, long highway tours and occasional bad roads. the riding posture, safety features and performance focus made this a perfect all rounder also the road presence is really exceptional Very confident and planted on highways, cruises comfortably at high speeds. Suspension feels great in the city and even better on rough roads. Engine is punchy and fun, mileage is really good for the power, love the throttle response and breaking capabilities Definitely yes, if you love touring, weekend rides and want performance with comfort. Ideal for pune's surprising roads, a little tall but perfect for riders who enjoy long rides, highways and light off-roading.Read More
