Speaking of MOBOs, our 2020 Lightweight/Entry-level bike of the year rolls into 2022 more worthy than ever. Now the KTM 390 Adventure gets Street and Offroad modes of TC, for even more control in loose or damp terrain. New, five-spoke cast wheels take the place of the six-spokers, bringing with them increased stiffness and greater rock-hounding ability.
Two new graphic treatments, one mostly black and one orange and blue, seem to wrap up the changes. Otherwise, KTM is standing pat with its excellent 373 cc single, rated at 43 horsepower and 27 lb-ft of torque, and no changes to its WP APEX adjustable suspension or Bosch cornering ABS. List price for the 2020 was $6,199.

KTM Press Release:
KTM BOLSTERS NEW KTM 390 ADVENTURE WITH MORE FREE-ROAMING SPIRIT FOR ADVENTURERS OF ALL DEMANDS Setting the benchmark in the smaller cylinder segment for outstanding power-to-weight, technology, and riding agility, the KTM 390 ADVENTURE is getting a fresh look and some key upgrades for 2022 that bring it closer than ever before to the full range of larger-displacement KTM ADVENTURE machines.
Further enhancing its potential to take riders to places far beyond the ordinary paths, the 2022 model?s extensive list of electronic features has been amplified with the addition of STREET and OFFROAD modes for Traction Control. Selecting OFFROAD from STREET will give the KTM a degree of rear wheel slip to enable even easier use of the bike in loose or wet terrain.
