KTM 390 Adventure SW – Real Adventure or Just Marketing?

Описание: In this video, I take the 2023 KTM 390 Adventure SW (Spoked Wheels) for a proper first ride and give you my honest impressions. Is this lightweight ADV machine a true adventure bike - or just clever marketing? I’ll break down what it feels like off-road and on tarmac, how it compares to bigger bikes like the KTM 890 Adventure and the Husqvarna Norden 901, and who I think it’s really built for.

No sponsorships, no fluff — just a real-world review from someone who rides.
