Same as the Duke, I suppose. Just put the front wheel of the 390 Adventure on any of the Indian made Dukes (390/250/200) along with similar tyres and voila! You have the 390/250/200 Adventure.

[@max-mp2ig]

I have watched almost every Indian review of this bike. Everyone was telling like "a good tourer". Most were not satisfied regarding its off-road potential (may be because of alloy wheels 😃). Now i understood the reason. We actually need off-road specialists to review bikes like these

[@pricehck6009]

yup engine wnt last long keep on riding like him

[@twistednemo]

Yeah, but the Adventure is only a little more capable than the Duke for off road use. I mean look at the specs! One inch more ground clearance and just a hair over an inch more suspension travel than the Duke. Other than that it has a 19" front rim and better ergonomics but it is a moderate boost to off road capability at best.

[@ricardorgomez]

Totally. It was so sad to watch these guys with their tails between their legs.... Motorcycle journalist and they just don't know how to ride.... Or, just have the balls to give it a shot...

[@briancrumpacker]

Riemann, you've just blown their minds. I'm sure that there's a million Indian non-journalists who are itching to get their hands on this bike. It is the India-scaled version of what the 990+ bikes are to the rest of here. The seed is planted.

[@twistednemo]

Except that the 990 is a proper adventure bike with proper off road kit. The 390 Adventure, on the hand, is basically the 390 Duke with an extra inch of suspension travel and ground clearance, a 19 inch front wheel and better ergonomics. Also, you talk about Indian "non-journalists" while ignoring the socioeconomics of the country. There is hardly any culture of dirt bikes here as not many people are super rich that they can afford dirt bikes that cost more than most Indian cars. Dirt bikes are not street legal so it is clearly a luxury item out of the reach of a typical upper middle class household. There are very few people in India with the skills to match Adam's. Maybe even in single digits. It takes a lot of money and overcoming a lot of social resistance to get full time into becoming a pro dirt rider or even to develop intermediate skills.

[@twistednemo]

PS: The seed for adventure riding was planted by a bike with a stronger off road focus - the Himalayan. But even that statement is misplaced because we have been going adventure riding on street bikes for decades now.

The ones who need a offroad motorcycle easily manage with a 100/150cc rugged motorcycle on a daily basis. They are also the ones who cannot afford a KTM 390 Adv or likes.

Nice video though !

If a pulsar 180 (with pillion) can do the job in Mustang valley for most of the Nepalis, then I'm sure Xpulse does it with a lot of grace. 80% of rider and 20% of the motorcycle still holds good! Adam just demonstrated that in this video.

Riemann ripped them all. Cleared the misconception of all those called indian moto journalists. Haha Sacchai(truth, exposed).

I came here for the video, stayed here for the comments. oof!

[@motowipeout5670]

Another great video brother! I’m not sure why there are so many unflattering remarks towards the Indian moto journalist. Some rode rather well actually, and the rest are street biased riders, so off-road is new to them. A lot of those guys ride in congested urban areas and are probably capable of navigating and riding in such a way that would make most of American and Euro riders crap their pants. I’m just saying, lets be more respectful to our fellow riders. They’ve kinda inspired me to want to get out and ride more. Lastly, I wish KTM would make a 690 Adventure but it would probably cannibalize 390 & 790 sales, so probably not going to happen. Peace ✌️

[@TheKitchenTechnician]

Motowipeout What!!?? These guys are look like newbies! This is the same as terrain we take for granted up here in North Eastern Ontario Canada. I’ll give them an E for effort though. I’m sure they’re going to be hooked on off road after this.

[@debroyprasenjit]

A 490 ADV with twin cylinders is on the horizon, to be manufactured in India as a global model. Could be a MY2021 model at the very least. Apropos, a 690 ADV may not make sense in the lineup right now. But, nothing is written in stone! Who knows after 2-3 years of retailing the 490 ADV in India, a 690 ADV twin could be developed.

[@motowipeout5670]

Prasenjit Debroy a 490 twin sounds interesting indeed, I’ll look forward to seeing more information about this when it becomes available.

My dream Bike no doubt but it will take toooo much time to BUY so bro can you send this video thumbnail picture or how to get this picture please reply 😶

[@North_Of_Nowhere]

After following this bike closely I was surprised by the amount of Indian reviewers that said it didn't perform well off road and was more for just touring.... I think your video shows what really happened on those days, the bike seems extremely capable off road and looks great fun but the reviewers looked like they didn't know what they were doing besides the odd one or two... This isn't any hate just abit surprised to see the bike is in fact very good off road and a few of these reviews currently out might be based on rider talent than what the bikes actually capable of

[@mokujin29]

ITs not hate if its reality.

I wish you would have explored few places in Karnataka south India sir. When your in Indian next time pls do visit 😊

[@saxenachetan1989]

Man these guys should have stayed away from this launch. Litmus test for many. So fragile. No wonder that most bikes shown in their reviews had damage around the tank and handles. Anyways, this bike sure has made me excited enough to buy it and enjoy riding in my 30s.
