KTM 390 Enduro R vs Oregon BDR EXPERT Section

Tackling a BDR is one thing, but the true test of a dual sport motorcycle is attempting one of the optional expert sections. On this ride, we took on the Cache Mountain expert section off of Oregon BDR section 5. The ascent is a tricky one, with deep sand, loose rock, and many technical sections all capped off with loose cinder and thousand foot drop offs at the top. The KTM 390 Enduro R did a great job taking on all the terrain on and around the BDR expert section. Riding the 390 enduro R off road is a blast. It's got a ton of manageable power and decent suspension and it handles the rocks and sand with ease. We're almost at 600 miles on the new KTM 390 Enduro R now.
