KLE 500 ABS 2026 vs 390 Adventure 2024

If straight-line speed is your priority, the KLE 500 ABS takes the lead. With 8 HP more than the 390 Adventure, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the 390 Adventure has a clear advantage. Weighing in 21kg less than the KLE 500 ABS, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners. Riders with a shorter inseam should lean towards the 390 Adventure. Its seat height is 15mm lower than the KLE 500 ABS, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops. Bottom Line: It's a close call. Choose the kle500 if you prefer its specific styling and ergonomics, or the 390adventure if you want the alternative brand character.
