KTM 250 Adventure

About

The KTM 250 Adventure is essentially a more accessible and affordable entry into the KTM Adventure family, leveraging the engine from the KTM 250 Duke and the frame and cycle parts from the KTM 390 Adventure. This motorcycle stands out with its practical design, featuring a high ground clearance and long-travel suspension that can handle Indian roads with ease. The riding position is comfortable, with a familiar LCD cluster and a well-laid-out dashboard. The engine, while not as powerful as its 390 sibling, is lively and offers enough performance for city riding and highway cruising. The motorcycle also boasts a unique style, with halogen headlights flanked by LED DRLs, and a firm yet absorbent ride quality. However, it lacks some of the advanced features of the 390 Adventure, such as traction control and cornering ABS, to keep costs in check. Overall, its a great option for those looking for a road-biased adventure bike with good practicality and ride quality.

Our take on this /// Verdict

The KTM 250 Adventure is a versatile and practical motorcycle that fills a unique niche in the Indian market. While it may not be as adventurous as some of its off-road-centric counterparts like the Himalayan or the Xpulse 200, it excels on-road with its balanced chassis and long-travel suspension. The motorcycle offers a comfortable riding position, although the high seating height can be a deterrent for shorter riders. Its engine, though not as powerful as the 390 Adventure, provides adequate performance for most users, especially in the mid-range. However, the price point of Rs 2.48 lakh ex-showroom makes it a bit of a hard sell, especially when compared to other options like the Dominar 250 or the Svartpilen 250. Despite this, if youre looking for a road-biased adventure motorcycle with good practicality and ride quality, the KTM 250 Adventure is definitely worth considering.

Price

The KTM 250 Adventure is priced at Rs 2.48 lakh ex-showroom in India. When you factor in the on-road costs, including registration, insurance, and other miscellaneous charges, the price can easily cross the Rs 2.8 lakh mark. This pricing puts it in a competitive but somewhat challenging position, as it is close to the more feature-rich and powerful KTM 390 Adventure, and also near other compelling options like the BMW G 310 GS. However, if budget is a constraint and you are specifically looking for a more affordable entry into the KTM Adventure family, the 250 Adventure might still be an attractive option. Its important to note that there are usually no significant discounts available, so you might need to negotiate any additional costs like credit card premiums with the dealer.

2024 KTM 250 Adventure on road price is Rs 2.84 lakh in Delhi, Rs 2.94 lakh in Mumbai, Rs 2.87 lakh in Kolkata and Rs 2.91 lakh in Chennai. The prices mentioned here are approximate and we suggest you contact your nearest KTM dealership to get the exact on-road price quote in your city.

Latest Updates

Monday, 14 October 2024 04:40 PM The 2025 KTM 250 Adventure has been spotted testing in India, revealing a design similar to the upcoming 390 Adventure. It features a vertically stacked headlight, a large fairing, and a tall windscreen, but lacks LED DRLs to distinguish it from its bigger sibling. The bike also has integrated grab handles and a small LED tail light. I think this design will appeal to those looking for a rugged yet stylish adventure bike.

Friday, 11 October 2024 08:47 AM The new KTM 250 Adventure will be powered by the same 249cc, LC4c engine as the KTM 250 Duke, producing 31bhp and 25Nm of peak torque. This engine is expected to be tuned differently for adventure riding, possibly with altered final drive ratios. The bike will also feature a six-speed gearbox and an assist and slipper clutch. I believe this engine will provide a great balance between power and fuel efficiency.

Tuesday, 08 October 2024 02:30 PM KTM is focusing on cost control for the 2025 KTM 250 Adventure, which is evident from the use of an LCD instrument cluster instead of a TFT display and MRF tyres. The bike will also have non-adjustable upside-down forks and a preload-adjustable rear monoshock. I think these cost-saving measures will help keep the price competitive in the Indian market.

Tuesday, 08 October 2024 03:12 PM The 2025 KTM 250 Adventure is expected to be launched in India a few months after the new 390 Adventure, with a predicted price of around Rs. 2.50 lakh (ex-showroom). The bike will compete with other adventure motorcycles like the Hero Xpulse 200 and Royal Enfield Himalayan. I believe this pricing will make it an attractive option for adventure bike enthusiasts.

Tuesday, 08 October 2024 05:39 PM The KTM 250 Adventure will feature dual-channel ABS with a supermoto mode, allowing switchable rear ABS which is helpful for off-road riding. The bike will also come with a bi-directional quickshifter and switchable traction control system, though the latter might not be available on the Indian version. I think these features will enhance the riding experience significantly.

Mileage

Monday, 18 November 2024 07:54 PM The mileage of the KTM 250 Adventure is generally satisfactory, given its performance-oriented nature. While exact mileage figures can vary based on riding conditions and style, owners have reported an average fuel efficiency of around 30-35 kmpl in mixed riding conditions. This is reasonable considering the motorcycles 248.8cc engine and its intended use as a versatile, on-road biased adventure bike. The fuel efficiency is aided by the tall sixth gear, which makes cruising at speeds of around 100 kmph quite efficient. However, city usage, especially in heavy traffic, might see the mileage drop slightly. Overall, the mileage is adequate for a motorcycle in its class, making it a viable option for both daily commutes and weekend getaways.

Questions and Answers

Most Popular Answers for KTM 250 Adventure

My main travelling is daily city commutes and some weekend tours. I am confused between KTM 250 Adventure and KTM Duke 250. Which is better?

15 January 2023 03:41

When it comes to selecting the right bike, it is important to consider your budget, preferred segment, features required, and engine options. The KTM 250 Adventure is powered by a 248.76 cc engine that provides a powerful 30 PS @ 9000 rpm and a torque of 24 Nm @ 7500 rpm. This engine makes the 250 Adventure one of the smoothest KTM single-cylinder engines on sale. The 19-/17-inch wheel setup provides superior confidence when going over rough roads.

On the other hand, the KTM 250 Duke is perfect for those who are looking for something quick and convenient for everyday use. This bike has a much more relaxed motor and comfy suspension compared to other KTMs. It is powered by a 248.8 cc engine that generates a power of 30 PS @ 9000 rpm and a torque of 24 Nm @ 7500 rpm. We highly recommend you to take a test drive before making the final decision.
