I've NEVER Taken an ADV Bike Here Before...KTM 390 Adventure R Trail Riding and Suspension Test

There are ATV trails that I'll take just about any ADV bike on, and there are ATV trails that I avoid on anything bigger than a dual sport. The KTM 390 Adventure R straddles the line between the two so well that I thought...hey why not? I took the KTM 390 Adventure R on some of the more difficult trails at my local OHV area. These are trails that I have only ever ridden on dual sports and dirt bikes. Somehow, the KTM 390 Adventure R off road riding performance was up to the task and we had an absolute blast. 390 adventure off road testing is going exceptionally well. This light adventure bike continues to impress me with how light and nimble it feels on the toughest terrain. In this video, we take on some steep, loose hill climbs, ATV trails, deep mud, and a series of jumps to test out just how good the stock 390 ADV R suspension really is. I hate how much I like riding this bike.
