The latest version of the adventure bike will be sold alongside the existing 390 Adventure and 390 Adventure X variants. The model gets a fully adjustable suspension and spoke wheels, and comes in a new Rally Orange colorway.
Customers wanted the adjustable suspension set-up on the 390 Adventure since the bike was first launched three years ago.
