It's solving a problem that didn’t really exist. Who moves seats that much?

This might come in handy when you’re carrying extra gear on solo rides. Like a mini luggage rack.

If it's easy to change, it could be ideal for those spur of the moment rides with a friend.
For shorter riders, is the KTM 390 Adventure’s seat height off-putting?

It is definitely tall, though the narrow seat helps. I'm 5'7", and you can get used to it with practice. It's all about technique.

An absolute deal-breaker for me. I was 5'5" and couldn't flat-foot it… and it made me feel unsafe, especially loaded with gear.

They need the height in order to get proper ground clearance and suspension travel. Lowering it would deem its off-road capability useless.

A professional lowered mine, and it's perfect now. It costs extra, but is confidence worth the cost?

It’s not just about flat-footing. The tall seat makes it clumsy paddling in tight spots or on uneven terrain. That's critical for adventure riding.

Locktite's seat height is perfect for road use, but off-road it could be a real issue. There have been sketchy moments on trails.

From the factory, KTM should offer a low seat. This would allow the bike to be usable by a whole lot more people.

I’m short, although that hasn’t stopped me from learning to adapt. Stoppages were taken one foot at a time, with slight sliding off the seat as required. In fact, it has actually improved my all-round riding skills.

The 2025 model, upcoming, looks taller than ever. Interestingly, with each iteration, KTM seems to be making the bikes more suitable for the taller rider.

It's a non-issue for me. The bike's light weight makes up for the height. The taller, heavier ADV bikes are a lot easier to manage than that.
What can the single-seat design of the KTM RC 8C do for the track performance?

It’s an awesome single-seat design. It's a proper GP bike to ride. Certainly helps with the track day mindset.

I bet it’s actually more psychologically than physically. Because you feel more like a racer, you ride faster.

It probably saves a few pounds without a passenger seat, which is always good on the track. Every little bit helps!

I wonder if it has an influence on how you can move yourself around on the bike in corners. It might take some getting used to.

I don’t think most riders would notice the difference, but the single seat probably helps with aerodynamics.

But it’s cool; I sorta miss that I can take a passenger, y’know? Sometimes you want to be able to show off on track days!

The great thing about it is that there’s none of that, because there’s no way you can be tempted to take a passenger on this thing. Keeps it pure and focused.
