PUNE: KTM on Wednesday launched the 250 Adventure in India at Rs 2,59,850 (ex-showroom). The 250 Adventure shares styling, parts and underpinnings with the recently introduced 390 Adventure. Here are the key highlights of the entry-level adventure-touring offering from KTM:
Engine:
The 250 Adventure borrows the 249-cc, liquid-cooled motor from the naked version. The engine generates 30.5 horsepower and 25 Nm. The engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox.
Hardware:
The engine is aided by electronic aids like ride-by-wire, bidirectional quick shifter and slipper clutch. The suspension components are new as well. KTM 250 Adventure features a non-adjustable WP APEX 43 mm big-piston USD fork with 200 mm of travel, with a WP APEX Emulsion shock absorber with 205 mm of travel.

KTM says the 250 Adventure is better suited for road-focused adventures with occasional off-road use. The motorcycle comes with 19-inch (front) and 17-inch (rear) cast wheels, fitted with tubeless tires. The anchoring duties are taken care of by bigger Bybre brakes with dual-channel ABS. It also gets a selectable offroad ABS mode.
The new 5-inch TFT display now comes with turn-by-turn navigation. The Adventure 250 features rally-inspired LED lighting. The fuel tank capacity is 14.5 litres.
KTM also launched the higher-capacity 390 Adventure and Adventure X in India.
