2. KTM 390 Adventure

It was a long-awaited model when it first arrived and by far the most comfortable in the 390 trinity of KTM. The KTM 390 Adventure packs a lot for its size with the lightweight Trellis frame, WP suspension, Bosch ByBre brakes, switchable Bosch ABS, lean-sensitive traction control, and even Bluetooth connectivity. The motorcycle draws power from the familiar 373 cc single-cylinder motor with 43 bhp and 37 Nm, while paired with a 6-speed gearbox that gets a bidirectional quickshifter. Despite being substantially more expensive here, the KTM 390 Adventure still feels value and is priced at Rs. 3.16 lakh (ex-showroom) onwards.
