Pros and Cons according to "Crazywheels"
Pros
Balance between Power and Weight: The target of ~65 HP combined with a running order weight below 185 kg promises an optimal power-to-weight ratio, superior to that of old single-cylinder machines and more agile compared to 750 cc trail bikes.
Genuine Specialized Chassis: The choice of 21"/18" wheels combined with adjustable WP components guarantees predictable dynamic behavior in real off-road scenarios, avoiding the compromises of 19-inch rims.
Highway Comfort: The twin-cylinder configuration slashes vibrations on long transfers, a chronic flaw that limited the operating range of the 390 Adventure.
Cons
Peaky Power Delivery at Low RPMs: Given the small unit displacement (∼245 cc per cylinder), maximum torque will be expressed in the upper half of the tachometer. When restarting in technical sections or on ruined mule tracks, the lack of bottom-end muscle and immediate low-down thrust typical of larger displacement engines will be felt.
High Catalog Costs: The twin-cylinder technology and the WP suspension package will push the estimated price close to 9,500 euros, a figure that distances this model from the concept of an "economical entry-level bike."
