Trending Questions on KTM 250 Adventure - Answered by Autocar Experts
I want to upgrade from my CBZ Extreme (2012). I’m 6'2", 70 kg. My daily commute is 20 km, and I do occasional weekend trips with my wife. I’m looking for an adventure bike with decent mileage and better pillion comfort. My budget is ₹2.5 lakh. You can also suggest cruiser options.
For your usage, in the cruiser space, you can take a look at the Royal Enfield Classic / Bullet 350 as well as any of the three Honda CB350 models. All bikes have relaxed, smooth engines, spacious seats and great suspension comfort.
In the ADV space, options like the TVS Apache RTX 300 and KTM 250 Adventure can be considered for their punchy - but not overwhelming - performance, spacious seats and comfortable ride quality, as well as luggage carrying capability.
Take thorough test rides of all shortlisted options before you decide.
I bought a Honda Unicorn two years ago as a beginner and now want a slightly more powerful, reliable bike within a ₹2.5 lakh budget (can stretch a bit). I ride 20–25 km daily and need good mileage, comfortable pillion space, occasional touring (rare off-roading), and low maintenance/spare costs. The Xpulse 210 interests me but its 140 kg max load is a concern. The bike should handle Bangalore road conditions. Please suggest some bikes to explore.
The TVS Apache RTX 300 and KTM 250 Adventure will both fit the bill for your needs. Both have spacious seats, will return decent fuel economy, have great suspension and ride comfort and should be light on the pocket. Do bear in mind that these bikes are significantly more powerful than the Unicorn you currently have, and if you want something that's more laidback, there are other options.
Bikes like the Royal Enfield Bullet / Classic 350 and the three Honda CB350 models will also fit the bill if you don't mind their laidback character and retro looks.
We recommend a thorough test ride before you choose.
I’m planning to buy a bike next year (around August). I want a mid-range model (<300 cc) with ground clearance >175 mm, a comfortable pillion seat, and adventure-style capability. I won’t commute daily, but my rides are long when I do them, so good mileage is important. I plan to start longer trips from 2027 and prefer to avoid brands with higher maintenance costs (e.g., Yamaha). Could you suggest suitable models?
Considering your requirements, we would recommend you choose between the KTM 250 Adventure and TVS Apache RTX 300. Both have good performance, are spacious, have comfortable suspension, more than enough ground clearance and will be fuel efficient because of their smaller displacement. Between the two, our pick would be the RTX because of its lower price point while offering more performance and features.
I’m planning to upgrade to a new bike - something in the around 300 cc class with adventure styling and good comfort. It will be used mostly in the city, with occasional touring too. Could you suggest suitable models for this usage?
The most compelling option in the 300cc space currently is the TVS Apache RTX 300, with its peppy performance, great comfort and extensive feature list at a tantalizing price. Since this is a very new product, we would advise you to wait for a while before purchasing it, so any teething issues that emerge can be ironed out. Something that's similarly priced and capable is the KTM 250 Adventure, which is also worth considering.
