KTM 250 Adventure

KTM 250 Adventure Highlights

The 250 Adventure was expected to make its debut at the 2019 India Bike Week (IBW) alongside the 390 Adventure, but it seems like we have to wait a bit more to see the 250 ADV in flesh. While it shares the same design language as its elder sibling, it features a conventional halogen headlamp flanked by LED DRLs instead of the full LED unit. Other notable features include a colour TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity. The 250 Adventure is powered by the same 248.8cc, liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine that’s seen on the 250 Duke. However, the mill has been tweaked to comply with Euro 5/BS6 emission norms. It produces 29.91PS of power and 24Nm of peak torque. 

Since the 250 Adventure is a derivation of the 390 Adventure, it shares similar underpinnings. Both feature a trellis frame with a bolt on subframe and long travel suspension. However, unlike the 390 Adventure’s adjustable front fork, the 250 gets a non-adjustable one to keep costs in check.

Expect the smaller ADV from KTM to cost around Rs 2.30 lakh. It will be available in two colours: orange and black. Once launched, the KTM 250 Adventure will go up against the Hero XPulse 200 and the Royal Enfield Himalayan.
