I threw an Airhawk cushion on the stock seat, and now it’s perfect for long days. Also cheaper than a whole new seat.

The KTM's seat is a plank compared to my old BMW. It's not terrible, not great for iron butt types.

I replaced mine with a Seat Concepts kit. Long rides are a night-and-day difference. The best upgrade I've made to the bike.

The stock seat locks you into one position, and that shape of the seat is not comfortable over time. A lot of help comes from an aftermarket seat with a flatter profile.

It's a game changer for shorter riders like me, as the lower seat height is. Any day I'll take the confidence of being able to touch the ground over a bit of clearance.

I've put my X on some pretty gnarly trails, and the lower height hasn't been a problem. It's not a few mm of clearance; it's more about technique.

Off-road, the standard 390 Adventure is more capable. With that extra ground clearance, ruts and rocks are no problem.

In fact, the X's lower height actually assists in tight, technical off-road sections. The tricky spots are easier to paddle through.

I think KTM hit a good balance. Now more people can enjoy the X without feeling intimidated, as the X is still plenty capable off road.

Being a taller rider, I prefer the higher stance of the standard model. When standing on the pegs, it feels more natural.

It has a lower seat height that is very good for building confidence off-road, especially for beginners. If you need more clearance, you can always add a taller seat later.

Both are bikes I've ridden, and honestly I think rider skill matters a lot more than the 30mm difference. With a good rider, the X can go anywhere the standard can.

Its lower height makes the X more versatile. In the city, it's better and still capable enough for most off-road adventures the average rider will do.

But if you're really concerned with clearance, just crank it up a little bit. Problem solved!
The under seat storage on the Chetak 3502 TecPac is a 35L which begs the question: Is that much storage on a scooter practical or excessive?

35L is awesome! It is easy to fit my helmet, laptop and groceries. It's like a trunk on a scooter.

It seems excessive. I don’t need that much space on a scooter that often. I would prefer a smaller storage and a bigger battery.

It’s got great storage but I worry about the weight distribution when it is fully loaded. Could it affect handling?

I think the idea is great but I'm worried about security. If the lock isn’t robust, that’s a lot of valuable stuff that could be stolen.

For sure practical, but I wonder if this makes the scooter look bulkier than it needs to be?

For me, the storage is a game changer. Goodbye, backpack for my daily commute!
