2023 #40 – KTM 390 Adventure | MTC, ABS, Ride Modes: REVIEW and Off-road DEMONSTRATION



[Update] ride modes only affect the MTC, ABS setting shouldn’t be affected, but in my testing (not shown in the video) the ride modes appear to override the ABS setting, though I need to do further testing. Look out for a part II.

Greetings Adventurers. In this video I take deep dive into the riding electronics of the KTM 390 Adventure and demonstration some of the different ride settings and modes available. My hope is to better inform current owners of the benefits of these electronics as well as give prospective buyers an idea of what they can expect if they decide to purchase it.

  1. Great video. At moment am on version 10 software so don't have the off road mode. What software version is yours. 😊

  2. Love how much you've learned about the 390 ADV. Stuff that KTM didn't feel like sharing. There's a lot of potential in these bikes for how little they cost.

    Also good to know that I don't need to change the ABS mode whenever I go offroad, just the ride mode.

  3. Sublime mate! As always awesome vid… You really put heart on what you do and it makes the difference, congrats!

  4. Most of the ABS and MTC are due to laws in some countries. That is why most bikes now have e them. They are being forced into bikes, but with off road mode, it is excellent . I don’t mind safety if it is safe off road too.

  5. Brilliant!.. We appreciate your effort to make this video, it looks easy but as a rider and filmmaker I know how time consuming and tiring it is to do such videos :). KTM should use or license this video to explain and show how these modes work and differentiate 🙂

  6. Fantastic video that clearly explains the different electronic interventions. I love off-road ride mode on my 390, it just hooks up in every condition, however I wasnt aware that off-road ride mode affected ABS. This knowledge will save me the trouble of switching ABS to off-road independently. Thank you!

  7. What a superb presentation and demonstration of the different settings. I agree off-road mode is the go to for me as well.

  8. Was most interested in the anti wheelie part. Ive been practicing wheelies on this bike and been testing the different modes and so far i cant tell if it makes a difference. Were you doing power wheelies or clutch ups?

  9. Great video- love the videography and excellent editing – keep up the great work! Really nice explanation and demonstration of the two functionalities and how they interact.

  10. Always great presentations. I watch every episode, even though I have an older 390 duke. If you see this message, I was hoping to see how the Maxca c5 pro is going? I am thinking about getting one. Cheers Mark.

  11. Thanks for taking the time to make these comparisons. I usually keep mine in the "moderate" mode all the time unless I am in the rain, then it goes to street mode. I find my 2 stroke hard enduro experience has really made my 390 offroad riding experience much more confident too. thanks again.
