KTM 250 Adventure Review

1 year ago by Ankit5,453 views

After much speculation and research, I bought my first motorcycle, the ktm duke 250, over an year ago. I would be lying if I said my experience has all been all sunshine and rainbows, it’s been all that, but, with its own unique set of challenges that i explored with my bike. Read on, as I attempt to do justice to the questions commonly asked with regards to my bike, the ktm duke 250.

I personally being a tall rider of 6'3 height was searching for motorcycles that would be comfortable for me. I just had learnt how to ride and I bought this as my first bike. I enjoyed how this bike was beginner friendly and had a really good mid range and it didn't heat up in commute as a tall rider this bike is really comfortable for me. I had test rode the dominar too but that did heat up a lot and it was a bit too fast for someone like me who hasn't ever owned a bike before. I use it for commute daily and for the usual weekend rides too and it has not disappointed me yet and I think it is better than the Himalayan because its easy to maneuver in the city and the low end is smooth, some might consider the low-end lacking but for someone like me who uses it in the city I think its really smooth and easy to handle. I think for tall riders or people who are looking for a beginner, this is the perfect choice.

Good Buying experience with immediate delivery of bike. Riding experience so far has been good, considering riding stance , refined engine and not so bad mileage(Around 35Kmpl) in mixed conditions.
Only downer was hard gear shifts considering it has slipper clutch, hope it gets smoother after first service. Also found front fairing and wind shield to be little shaky at lower rpms.
Pros: Looks, Riding Experience, performance, mileage.
Cons: hard Gear shift, no LED headlights.

KTM 250 Adventure vs Royal Enfield Himalayan BS6: Comparison Test Review

27 December 2020

Vikrant Singh

Is the KTM 250 Adventure that much better than the Himalayan to command a premium of nearly Rs 55,000? Or, does it still make more sense to go for the Royal Enfield?

2020 KTM 250 Adventure: First Ride Review

Neil Nair

So, does the same formula apply to its smaller sibling, the KTM 250 Adventure? To find out, we rode the motorcycle for a couple of days in the city, on the highway, and a wee bit off-road to tell you about its performance, comfort, and most importantly- whether it worth the...
