The KTM 390 Adventure X is a stripped-down version of the standard 390 Adventure, giving you a cheaper entry into the adventure bike segment. Besides some notable differences—lower seat height, MRF tires instead of Metzelers, and the lack of traction control and cornering ABS, plus a TFT display—it’s essentially the same. The price difference is about 60,000 INR because of these changes. But the core of the engine and chassis are the same, so many riders are debating whether the extra features justify the extra money or if the X model is better value. Here, we try to answer the question of whether one should get the Adventure X or the more feature-rich sibling, in terms of intended use, rider experience, and budget constraints.
