Last year KTM introduced the 390 Adventure’s entry-level variant called KTM 390 Adventure X. The 390 Adventure X looses on electronic features as well as gets a slightly different suspension but saves a lot of pocket change. Compared to the top-spec KTM 390 Adventure SW, the 390 Adventure X is more than INR 80,000/- more affordable.
