It’s time to say goodbye to our long term KTM 390 Enduro R International spec and it hurts more than usual considering how fun a machine the Enduro R has proved to be. With small changes it got better still in a few areas while the quality time we spent on it also exposed places where it can improve. So here’s a download from Sarge on what helps it make a case for the best dual purpose motorcycle in India and where it falls short.,

KTM should think about an Enduro S model for city madness!
That observation about the front-end weave past 130 km/h being tire-tread and 21-inch block pattern related rather than WP suspension geometry is spot on, Sagar! A lot of riders blame the damping right away, but aggressive dual-sport rubber on a lightweight 21-inch spoked setup will always catch highway airflow differently than a road-biased 50/50 dual-sport tire like the Scorpion Rally STR. Also, hitting full lock so fast on tight switchbacks is a real quirk to master. Masterclass review as always!
Please a long term review of himalayan 450
One of the best reviewer ✨ u aren't like those 2 guys sitting on a couch play with words 😂
damn sarge i am so eager to see ktm smc r on your hands,damn those wheelies and slides you will do❤❤
Just completed 4K kms ride across the country in 15 days. What a motorcycle. 👌👌👌
Only issue is the engine oil burning every 1k kms.
Are they tubeless ?
sagar, ride the enduro r too, just wanted your view on the base suspension settings you use for off-road as well as tarmac? In terms of the best ride quality and handling both at trail speeds and tarmac speeds
If you’re selling this beauty, where is it going? Friend or store or exchange?

Is it still on sale sarge?
S.S. reviews are always the ultimate ones!!
The way of your motorcycle review is phenomenal.❤❤
The weave is because of the beak catching air at high speed acting as air break resulting in front suspension lifting off and lowering (beak vibrates a lot resulting in irregular air flow around it). I removed beak and now it breezes like duke.
U sir , were missed.
Thanks for calling out the weave and the turning radius. Felt the exact same way on our Enduro too and I wasn't sure why it was so. Great review as always Sarge 🫡
I think this would be the last MH12 series vehicle from your reviews 😅
Great review as always Sarge! 🫡
@BajajKTM – Please launch 390 SMC R – Need this to replace my 2017 Duke 390
Are you planning to review the KTM ADV 390 ADV R?
Would love to know your thoughts on it.
Honda NX 500 sagar bro..it has arrived in showrooms… awaiting since 2024
That makes sense! I experienced the same weave on the ADV R when going over 140 Kmph on the ADV R …which is bummer since the engine enjoys cruising at these speeds.
Enjoyed your insane stunts and the brilliant cinematics ❤
