I’m confused between the KTM 390 Adventure and the Adventure X. My riding is mostly on-road with some mild off-roading. Which one should I go for?

Autocar India says: Earlier, we would have suggested the top-spec KTM 390 Adventure if you were looking for a feature-loaded ADV -- capable of venturing off-road. But with the recent update, the Adventure X now comes equipped with almost all the electronic aids that were previously exclusive to the standard Adventure — cornering ABS, traction control, ride modes, cruise control, and an IMU — for just an extra Rs 12,000 over the outgoing model. The remaining differences are largely physical: the standard Adventure retains 21-inch spoke wheels and fully adjustable suspension at a premium of over Rs 60,000. For riders who mostly stick to roads and mild trails, and if venturing off-road is not your vehement thought, the Adventure X offers nearly the same electronics and usability at a far more sensible price.
