Here’s what Sarvesh Korde had to say about the 2025 KTM 390 Adventure after riding it at KTM Pro-XP
The 2025 KTM 390 Adventure is an entirely new platform, and is a massive overhaul when compared to the previous-generation 390 Adventure. At KTM Pro-XP Mumbai, many riders, including us, got a chance to experience the 2025 KTM 390 Adventure, that too on an off-road track. Sarvesh Korde, a Music Producer from Mumbai owns a previous-gen KTM 390 Adventure X and after riding the new one, this is what he had to say.
Why The KTM 390 Adventure X?
The KTM 390 Adventure X is a capable touring focused ADV bike, and Sarvesh had brought the bike for the same reason. He said, at first he was considering the KTM 250 Adventure but decided to go for something that was a bit more powerful. According to him, the 250 Adventure made him feel like he had owned the bike for a long time and there wasn’t a learning curve to it.
So he decided to go for the Gen 1 – 390 Adventure X, which is a more powerful machine and one which takes a while to master. This was one decision that he hasn’t regretted. When asked what his experience with KTM was, he said “It has been very beautiful, the machine is very capable and I love the things that I’ve been able to do with it”.
2025 KTM 390 Adventure & KTM Pro-XP
The 2025 KTM 390 Adventure is a more off-road focused adventure bike, and is very different. Sarvesh had the same to say about the bike, he said “The bike feels like a real upgrade and not just some nuts and bolts changed here and there”. After riding the bike, this opinion was reinforced, and he said, “It was heart-pounding, and felt really different from my Gen 1 390 Adventure X”.
KTM Pro-XP has done a very good job giving riders the ability to experience the new KTM 390 Adventure. Sarvesh also told us that he is hoping to see more such test ride events being hosted in Mumbai down the line. He also said he wishes to see training events as well so riders get a chance to improve their skills.
When asked if he would like to upgrade to the 2025 KTM 390 Adventure, he said he would prefer to upgrade to the KTM 390 Enduro R so he can do a lot more hardcore off-roading. Overall, it is quite nice to see how KTM has managed to bring out the enthusiasm for off-roading in India, via KTM Pro-XP.
