With the X variant in the market, KTM should add the adjustable suspensions in the standard variant as well. Just like in international market, only diff will be spoke wheels and alloys.

There should be only two variant X & standard. Rest everything should be available as Official accessory or power part. Ideal choice for me would be X variant with upgraded suspension setup & Spoked wheels. Tbh Electronics feels more like hindrance instead of aid in 390vadv.

Looking for an ADV and it’s in my shortlist. Will use it mainly for commuting and highway touring. Few things concern me- I’m not someone who rides aggressively fast. Just want the torque on lower RPM. Also suspension should soak in all bumps. And the seat should be comfortable for longer rides. Don’t know if KTM 390 ADV will fit into it. I don’t mind getting the SW and swapping the tires.

Buddy the alloy wheels is not a straight swap on the SW Vern. One has 6 bolts and other has 5 going through the discs. There’s an entire clutch of parts you’ll have to change to achieve the swap. Then the warranty will be questionable too because KTM is not formally approving of this change.

@@zigwheels A bit more than that but its academic given warranty issues. I had done some pricing of all smaller parts and it had come around to approx 26k for the swap. Heard rumblings that they’ll release a separate rally kit in the very near future which will work with existing Alloy wheel KTM. Kit will likely comprise a longer travel (fully adjustable) suspension, perhaps handlebar risers, a longer side stand for the revised suspension etc. This should be a KTM-blessed, bolt on kit for existing alloy wheel bikes. Waiting for this to come through, fingers crossed. Will definitely make sense if alloy wheels are super important to anyone. Won’t be cheap though, but worth it regardless IMO if they can deliver the above.
