In addition to the KTM 390 Adventure, Rahul Gandhi has also opted for high-quality riding gear, as evident in the pictures he shared on social media. He is seen riding the motorcycle while wearing a Shoei off-road helmet with Leatt off-road goggles, a Klim Marrakesh riding jacket, and Klim S4 Baja riding gloves. His other riding gear includes Leatt Moto riding pants, knee guards, and Forma Adventure riding boots.

The visuals of Rahul Gandhi riding the KTM 390 Adventure in Ladakh emerged online a few days after one of his recent interviews, during which he mentioned having a KTM 390 motorcycle at home. However, he revealed that he doesn’t get to ride it frequently, as security personnel restrict its use on public roads due to security concerns.

The KTM 390 Adventure stands as one of the most sought-after adventure tourers in India and is part of KTM’s 390cc offerings in the country. This adventure tourer comes in three variants: X, Standard, and SW. The version seen ridden by Rahul Gandhi in Ladakh is the Standard variant, which was the sole option for this motorcycle until a few weeks ago.
