Did KTM price themselves out of the market with the 790 Adventure, or is it worth the premium over Japanese rivals?

If you’ll use it to its full potential, the tech and performance justify the cost.

New is overpriced, but great value once initial depreciation is out of the way on the used market.
Is the XEV 9e Pack Three premium worth the premium over lower variants?

Absolutely worth it! It's the larger battery alone that justifies the price bump: 500+ km range is a game changer for road trips.

Nah, the base is good enough. For the most part, the only Pack Three feature you'll use is a fancy gimmick.

It depends on your needs. If you’re a tech enthusiast who loves gadgets, Pack Three is a dream. The only problem is that for regular commuters, perhaps not.

It is worth it just for the sound system. Did you hear Harman Kardon setup? It’s like having a concert hall on wheels!

In my opinion, for the ADAS features it's worth it. Enhanced safety tech is great peace of mind for family buyers.

It’s expensive, but you can have a lifetime warranty on the battery. For long term ownership costs that’s huge.

The killer feature for me is the AR-HUD. Yes, it’s not just cool, it’s actually useful for navigation and safety.
Is the premium of the BE 6 Pack Three worth the cost over lower variants?

I honestly think most buyers are going to find the Pack Three to be overkill. You probably will get 80% of the features for the base variant at a much more attractive price. If you don’t absolutely need the 682 km range, the lower variants appear to be better value.

The Pack Three is totally worth it if you can afford, disagree. The more impressive part is that 79 kWh battery, which completely eliminates range anxiety, and the premium features like ADAS and the panoramic sunroof really make the car feel like a premium product. You get what you pay for.

It's a tough call. Some of the features of the Pack Three are compelling, but the price jump is big. It really depends on how you use it, if you do a lot of long trips and want the latest tech by all means go for it. Otherwise, the lower variants can be used.

I’m actually more interested in the Pack Two. It's going to be somewhere in between features and price, I imagine. The Pack Three appears to be for early adopters who are looking for the best of everything.

Let’s be real, most people buying an EV in this price range, want the top variant, for the bragging rights. It will sell well because it’s the ‘best’ one, and it doesn’t matter if it’s actually worth it.
But will the Himalayan 650 command a price premium over the 411, as expected?

It will be a steal if they keep it under 4 lakhs. After that, you might as well be shopping for used Versys 650s or V Stroms.

Just for the engine upgrade it will be worth it. It’s great on the 411, but it falls down on highways. It will make the 650 a true all rounder.

It depends on what else they upgrade. If it's just an engine swap probably not. If they can improve the suspension brakes and electronics, it could be quite a deal.

I'm skeptical. The Himalayan is also affordable, which is part of its charm. If they price it too high it will lose that everyman appeal that made it so popular.

It's all relative. It will probably still undercut the big adventure bikes by a lot even if it's pricier. It could be a great middle ground for those who want more power than a KLR or DL650, but can’t justify spending big bucks on a GS or Africa Twin.
Is the Himalayan 450 worth its price bump over the previous model with new features and performance?
09 January 2025 10:50
I believe RE has priced the 450 too high. The Himalayan may have more features and power, but part of the point of the Himalayan was it was affordable. But now it's up against bikes from more established adventure bike makers, and I'm not sure it measures up at that price.
