KTM India’s flagship adventure offering, the 390 Adventure ticks the right boxes for someone looking for a tourer with a focus on performance, along with a plethora of premium features to keep you engaged all through its ownership. But all of that comes at a premium price tag, which has also made the 390 Adventure the most expensive entry-level adventure motorcycle in India. KTM believes that the hefty price tag of the 390 Adventure has made many newer and younger riders looking for a tourer shy away from the Austrian motorcycles brand.

And to address that, there’s the KTM 250 Adventure. KTM’s youngest adventure motorcycle borrows heavily from the 390 Adventure in terms of hardware sans the comprehensive electronics suite, comes equipped with the 250 Duke’s engine and is shod with MRF Meteor tyres. Does that make for a worthy upgrade from your motorcycle?
