Ktm 390 Adventure
The Ktm 390 Adventure has a top speed of 167 km/h, produces 43 hp and weighs 179 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.8/10.
La KTM 390 Adventure a été introduite en 2020, construite sur la plate-forme du célèbre streetfighter 390 Duke et conçue pour proposer une conduite d'aventure légère et accessible à un public plus large. Doté d'une géométrie adaptée au tout-terrain, d'une roue avant de 19 pouces et de la livrée orange emblématique de KTM, il est rapidement devenu populaire auprès des pilotes débutants et intermédiaires à la recherche d'un vélo ADV performant mais maniable. Au cours de sa production, il a fait l'objet de mises à jour, notamment de l'ABS pour les virages, du contrôle de traction et d'un réservoir de carburant plus grand, consolidant ainsi sa place de référence dans le segment des véhicules utilitaires à petite cylindrée.

Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir
Watch the Valve Clearances
The 390 Adventure shares its single-cylinder engine with the Duke 390, which requires valve clearance checks every 15,000 km. Neglecting this is the most common cause of engine wear, so always verify service history before buying used.
Cornering ABS Standard
Even base models come equipped with Bosch 9.1MP cornering ABS and traction control, a feature rare in this price segment. This tech significantly boosts both safety and resale appeal compared to budget competitors.
Strong Resale Value
The 390 Adventure holds resale value well due to high demand and KTM's strong brand presence in the adventure segment. Used examples typically retain 70–80% of their value within the first two years.

Évaluation d'un acheteur d'occasion
"Brilliant budget adventurer if you buy history, not hope."
$4,500-$6,500 usedThe 390 Adventure punches well above its displacement, and used examples represent genuinely smart money. That LC4c single produces 43hp with real grunt below 6,000rpm — enough to hustle along B-roads and handle light trail work without feeling underpowered. The WP suspension is properly adjustable, the TFT dash is excellent, and cornering ABS actually works as advertised. For a sub-500cc adventure bike, it's legitimately capable hardware. Here's what the brochure won't tell you though: check the chain and sprockets obsessively, because neglected examples get hammered. The stock seat is genuinely terrible for rides over two hours, and most owners know it — budget £150-200 for an aftermarket fix. Early 2020-2021 models had occasional software gremlins with the traction control; verify any recall work was completed. Engine oil consumption can be higher than expected too, so ask for service records and look for clean cases. Buy a well-maintained one with full history and you've got a brilliant, characterful machine. Buy a neglected one and you'll be funding someone else's upgrade.
