Hi Team Autocar, I bought a 2025 KTM 390 Adventure X two months ago and use it daily in Mumbai for about 50 km, sometimes even 100 km a day. I plan to start weekend rides soon, but the constant buzzing on the handlebars causes palm numbness after 30–45 minutes. Could you please suggest modifications or solutions to reduce these vibrations?

    Asked by: Aiden Pinto

    Small fixes like thicker grips or heavier bar end weights will provide some relief for the vibration issue on your KTM 390 Adventure X. You can also look at handlebar dampeners, although that will be a little on the expensive side. 

    Another option you can look at is changing your sprockets to change your gearing so that the zone you find yourself in the most is as buzz-free as possible. Do bear in mind that putting an aftermarket sprocket could void your warranty, and we'd best advise you not to do so on a brand-new machine.

    Asked by: Jagdish Sharma I drive less than 200 km a month, and my current Nexon (petrol) has run only 40,000 km in 7 years. I want to upgrade and keep my next car for at least 7-8 years. I can wait until 2027 or 2028, as there is no urgent need. We are a small family of two adults and a 10-year-old child. My heart says sedan, but I am open to other body styles. My priorities, in order, are safety, comfort, style, AWD and a brand with good service and maintenance. My budget is within ₹1.5 crore. I like the upcoming Tesla S, Volvo S90/ES90 and Lexus 350h. If Ford launches the Mustang, then only Mustang. While 2027/28 is a long time away, and it's near impossible to gauge which launches will happen then, unfortunately, most of the cars you have listed are unlikely to be launched in India. This is simply because sedans, of which you are a fan, are not as popular anymore, and small-volume brands like the ones you have listed - Tesla, Volvo, Lexus and even Ford at this stage - are unlikely to take a risk launching a new sedan in an SUV-heavy market like ours.Of the lot, the most likely is the next-gen Lexus ES, which is a unique and tech-laden hybrid or EV alternative to the established luxury sedan set. It meets all your requirements, including an AWD option, though it remains to be seen the specification Lexus chooses for India. Lexus cars are known for their reliability and relatively low maintenance costs, so keeping the car for 7-8 years should not be a problem.
