The KTM 250 Adventure has easily been one of the most-awaited motorcycles in the country this year. However, it looks like the wait is finally going to be over, as the company intends to begin the festive season with a bang!
The Austrian motorcycle manufacturer was caught testing the bike on our roads multiple times. In a latest, we have the spy images of the bike’s launch presentation that have leaked online. KTM is expected to reveal the final launch date very soon.
Price & Features
KTM 250 Adventure, which happens to be the younger sibling of the 390 Adventure, is expected to be priced at around ₹2.40 lacs. This will make the bike more affordable by Rs 60,000+ (390 ADV costs ₹3.04 lacs).
However, it will be around ₹30,000-₹35,000 more expensive than the 250 Duke 250, with which it will share its engine. For the extra premium that it commands, the 250 Adventure gets 390 Adventure-like styling and TFT instrument cluster unlike the LCD screen on the Duke 250. However, unlike its elder sibling, it misses out on the LED headlight, as it settles with a halogen headlamp setup.
It will come with a trellis frame, inverted front fork, rear mono-shock, and disc brakes at both ends equipped with a switchable dual-channel ABS.
