Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 vs Triumph Scrambler 400X vs KTM 390 Adventure (episode 4)

Episode 4: Journey to Kanniyakumari: Embracing the KTM 390 Adventure
With the sun rising over Kodaikanal's misty hills, we bid farewell to its serene beauty and set our sights on our next destination: the southernmost tip of India, Kanniyakumari. As we embark on this leg of our journey, I find myself in the saddle of the KTM 390 Adventure, ready to embrace the thrill and agility it promises for the next three days.
The KTM 390 Adventure exudes a sense of excitement as I twist the throttle, its powerful engine roaring to life with a surge of adrenaline. With its lightweight chassis and advanced suspension, the 390 Adventure feels nimble and responsive, eager to conquer the roads that lie ahead.
As we make our way towards Kanniyakumari, the landscape unfolds before us in a mesmerizing tapestry of colors and textures. Every twist and turn of the road offers a new adventure waiting to be explored.
The KTM 390 Adventure handles the diverse terrain with ease, its off-road capabilities allowing me to navigate through gravel paths and uneven surfaces with confidence. Whether carving through winding mountain roads or cruising along coastal highways, the 390 Adventure proves to be the perfect companion for the journey ahead.
As we approach Kanniyakumari, anticipation builds in the air, knowing that we are nearing the southernmost point of our incredible expedition. The KTM 390 Adventure continues to impress with its performance and agility, reaffirming my decision to ride this Austrian powerhouse for the next three days.
As we arrive in Kanniyakumari, the sight of the confluence of the Arabian Sea, the Indian Ocean, and the Bay of Bengal fills me with a sense of awe and wonder. It's a fitting backdrop for the next chapter of our adventure, as we explore the cultural richness and natural beauty of this historic landmark.
Join us in the next episode as we immerse ourselves in the sights and sounds of Kanniyakumari, and continue our journey southward along the coastal roads of Southern India. With the KTM 390 Adventure leading the way, the thrill of discovery awaits around every corner.

[@roysyntageros4191]

Great series guys! Thanks for the hard work! That would have been so much fun! There is no way you can do any off road without bar risers on the 390! I own a 2023 KTM 390 Adventure and there are days I love it and days I hate it. I came from a nice comfy Vstrom 650XT and sold it wanting a lighter more off road capable adventure bike. Its been great on the back roads, twisties and in traffice filtering, but highway is not very nice at all. I even tried a Givi Airflow (which I had on my Vstrom) but on this bike it has very bad buffetting. Anyway lets see what the 2025 390 Adventure will look like 🙂

What a great adventure! I'm envious of you guys! As much as I like KTM that Himalayan is tugging at my bank account. They are taking pre orders for early 2025 delivery, NZ$8990 for the basic model and up to NZ$9490 for the two tone with gold wheels like you're riding, sales tax included. If I do get one I'll be telling Royal Enfield to send you the commission!

Thanks glad your enjoying the videos, it’s amazing how many bikes I’ve sold over the years commission free lol. I’m realy tempted to sell my Ducati multistrada v4 for a Himalayan. If I was going to travel around the world I think it would be the perfect bike. 🏍️💨

Across India the Chai tastes different in each state. So far for me the best chai is the irani chai from hyderabad and kashmiri rose tea. The interesting thing is all everyone uses is Milk, tea powder and sugar. Except Irani chai I still haven't figured out why it tastes different in each state. Maybe the soil reflects in the taste of the milk ?

[@thatbikersimon]

Interesting.. I’ve tried the Kashmiri rose tea and I totally agree it’s wonderful. Thanks for the info 👍

[@FalconBob8055]

Defenetly KTM is a cool bike, but the build quality of Himalayan is much more better than other two (seen lots of metal instead of plastics). Actually seat height of himalayan can also adjust from 825mm to 845mm.

[@thatbikersimon]

This is correct on the seat heights. The Himi is very well built, but I’m certainly not disappointed with the build quality of the other bikes

[@thatbikersimon]

Glad your enjoying it. Still more to come. 👍🏍️💨💨💨

[@virajvrooms]

KTMs brakes seem to be dynamic 😂. They behave differently in different situations. I have concluded that it is because of the IMU linked cornering ABS and Traction control.

[@thatbikersimon]

Interesting concept. The Himalayans brakes were definitely better on this test.

[@devikeri]

Hi brothers Himalayan or ktm 390.. ? Which one fo you recommend

[@thatbikersimon]

Well it depends on what sort of riding you want to do. I personally would pick the Himi due to its off road capabilities.

Hello, so far I am determined to buy the scrambler 400, but I would like to know your opinion, which of the three would you recommend more for a tall rider? 6”5'

Definitely the triumph but also the Himalayan 450, the seat can be raised and possibly other higher seat options and bar risers would give you a better riding position 👍

I’ve seen the pegs on the KTM are angled forward and many riders add a handlebar riser. Flat aftermarket wide pegs and riser might make it feel better standing.

[@thatbikersimon]

The seat still is a issue when standing up the top of it cuts into your legs 👍

[@cpardrum]

They make a narrow flat seat for off-road letting you slide back more too when descending.

[@cpardrum]

It looks like a dirt bike seat.

Whats you choice as an overall experience. I am confused between Himalayan and Adv 390.

It depends on what you want out for the bike. The Himalayan is better off road and can go the distance. The KTM is fast and more sportier. I personally would pick the Himalayan over the KTM

After trying out both the Himalayan and the adv390 dont you feel that these bikes should have a 270⁰ twin like the CF Moto MT 450, wouldn't it make the ride more easy and enjoyable with the extra power and smoother engine. And the bikes should weigh a max of 165 kg wet .

I think you be fine, I think one of the best things about these bikes is that you can service them yourself, and I don’t think they’re over complicated if the mechanicals. 👍

[@jimmyjam8795]

The 500x is easier to do valve clearances on though, because the cams stay in. Best to test ride, I don't like 500x and swapped mine for a new 500f. Himalayan 450 already on order as second bike. Ride safe

[@AlexAugustinex]

Honda parallel twin to a single RE? I waited for the new Himalayan for 2 years. Did test drive today and it was a bit of mess. The levers, footpegs etc very flappy, vibrations (but ignorable), mechanical sounds overpower the silencers sound, what you hear more is the tappets and other engine noises, not the exhaust, it sounds broken but it's not😅. Plus the switchgear quality is questionable and weirdly placed, a bit hard/wierd to reach (ignorable as you use it more). Many more minor issues. The Triumph was perfect though, except the instrument cluster, it is absolutely trashy and dated. Do test drive before buying the Himalayan.

Yes definitely if you’re interested in off road capabilitys then its the Himalayan all the way. 👍

[@TheINDIAN]

Hold on that decision ,there is a new adventure 390 KTM 2024 version coming up and CF Moto have started selling an adventure 450 MT twin with a 270⁰ crank try them out first .

[@TheINDIAN]

@@thatbikersimon please do try the kove 450 also . As it is the closest to the unicorn motorcycle idea. If kove 450 had the CF Moto 450 engine it would be the perfect do it all motorcycle. Do be careful on our roads . Don't trust PPL's ability to cross the roads as woman ,children, animals are somewhat predictable they will look the other way and have a stroll with no care even if your are charging down the road they won't look at u ,old men on moppeds are the ones to look out for they will jump from the middle of the road so hold 120kmph don't go beyond that for too long . You are in fine dust environment so clean or replace the air filter every 3000 km if you can . If the brakes are not good enough Moto usher in Bangalore(Karnataka )has EBC EPFA 606 HH pads and rear sintered pads are also there try both of them ,I think two of ur bikes have the same type of calipers try these front pads (do clean the disc with 600 grit sand paper and do the brake in procedure) and enjoy, the Himalayan has a different caliper design. Coconut water is excellent for reducing dehydration don't drink more than three coconuts a day ,you will shoot out from ur ass like a fire hydrant. Enjoy. Always start at 5 AM so that u don't get burn out and u don't have to deal with traffic.
