In my opinion 790/890s is the best adventure bike for shorter riders in the market right now, at least on paper. There is no other 21" wheel bike with 83cm seat height that has 23cm ground clearance and 20cm suspension travel. Add to that it is one of the lightest in its class.
The 390 Adventure is a small-displacement KTM, so of course it rolls with a thumper for power delivery. An 89 mm bore and 60 mm stroke give it a 373.2 cc displacement and 12.6-to-1 compression
More aggressive, and pricier at $7,399, the KTM 390 Adventure pushes the entry-level ADV market as we’d expect KTM to do. If you can stomach the MSRP, the bike is still super accessible, weighing 371 pounds with a 33.6-inch seat height, and is sure to return years of enjoyable performance.
