Is the KTM 250 Adventure a worthy hype for city riding?

Question

The KTM 250 Adventure is making waves as an allrounder, suitable for both city and off-road. But many riders are wondering whether it’s really the right bike for daily urban commutes. Potential buyers wonder just how easy the Cayenne is to maneuver in heavy traffic and (even more worryingly) how easy it would be to handle in the tight city spaces. Furthermore, controversy for many enthusiasts exists surrounding the bike’s power delivery and low-end torque. So, let’s see if the KTM 250 Adventure does justice for city riders or if it is better suited for those who go out of the city limits often.

Divya · Accepted Answer

Absolutely! In the city, the 250 Adventure is a beast. Yes, it's tall, but after a while you'll enjoy the commanding view of traffic. On top of that, the upright seating position makes for great long commutes.

No, too much for the city. With the suspension too stiff for pothole-riddled roads and the lack of low-end torque, it's a pain in stop-and-go traffic. Urban riding would be better off with a more nimble naked bike.

Abhinit · Answer

It's a mixed bag. The 250 Adventure is a blast on the weekends when you want to get out of the city, but it’s a bit much for daily commutes. However, they have a godsend when it comes to ground clearance, as those nasty speed bumps we have everywhere will never seem as bad as they used to.

I have been using mine in the city for months, and I love it! With the tall seat height, you get a great view of the road ahead—which comes in very handy when predicting traffic. It's just a bit of getting used to.

Sujit · Answer

It’s not great, but it’s not terrible. It's not too bulky, and the upright riding position and wide handlebars give you good control; however, the bike's weight can be an issue in tight spots. It’s a compromise, but one I’m happy to make in order to get the flexibility of it.

Reena · Answer

It's perfect in the city for tall riders. I'm 6'0" and find it incredibly comfortable, and because the seat is higher, I don't have to hunch over in traffic. It has enough power to zip through gaps when needed, plus.

Saurabh · Answer

It depends on your city, I'd say. If you have wide roads and not too much traffic, then go for it. In Mumbai or Delhi, though? Maybe you want something smaller and more easily maneuvered.

Manish · Answer

If you know how to handle it, it’s actually great for city riding. The trick is to use the bike's torque in the midrange, rather than trying to crawl in low revs. After you get that, you can handle heavy traffic with ease.
