KTM 250 Adventure Updates

Monday, 14 October 2024 10:10 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 02:17 PM 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 08:00 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 08:42 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 11:09 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.
