The Indian market version of the KTM 390 Adventure appears to have lower specification suspension than what is planned for Europe and the US. While the Indian market bike has a non-adjustable fork, the Euro/US market bike is expected to get one with adjustable rebound and compression. Out back the Indian market bike only has preload adjustment, while the Euro/US bikes add rebound adjustment to the rear shock.
Another difference between the two versions? About $2000 US dollars.
现实世界的燃料范围可能是在偏远地区使用这辆自行车的车手的问题。允许3/4加仑安全保证金和50MPG燃油经济性，应在每150英里划分燃料停止旅行。如果你在油门上光滑，可以管理60mpg，你可以在跑步前228英里。
What are your thoughts on the KTM 390 Adventure? Is this the small displacement lightweight ADV bike that everyone has been clamoring for?
