It has been quite a while since enthusiasts have been begging KTM to introduce a variant of the 390 Adventure with wire-spoked wheels and adjustable suspension, and it seems like Christmas has arrived early for them (or late, but it’s cause for celebration anyway). KTM has finally launched the 390 Adventure-SW and has also brought along with it a little bonus present in the form of the 390 Adventure-X, but we’ll get to that in a short while.
KTM has been offering the adjustable suspension in Eurospec motorcycles for some time, but now, it has finally made its way to India as well. The fully adjustable suspension on the 390 AdventureSW allows the rider to tweak the suspension’s compression, rebound and preload characteristics. It now gets 30 clicks of compression and rebound damping on the front USD forks as well as rebound adjustment on the rear mono-shock of 20 clicks, with a 10-step preload adjustment.
