KTM 250 Adventure Review Image Gallery

We recently rode the KTM 250 Adventure for a comprehensive review of the Austrian brand’s entry-level adventure-touring motorcycle. We came back impressed with the 250 Adventure’s jack of all trades character which would be better with slight improvements. However, here we have selected a few images of the KTM 250 Adventure from our review for you to ogle at.  

The KTM 250 Adventure draws styling inspiration from its bigger sibling, the 390 Adventure. The 250 Adventure also borrows its bodywork including the exhaust, wheels, and tail lamp from the 390 ADV, making it look even more similar from the side. While the components have been put together well, the fitment of the tank shrouds could have been better.  

Now, the 250 Adventure’s paint schemes and ‘250’ badging on the tank shrouds set it apart from the 390 ADV visually and so does the headlamp unit. This headlamp consists of an LED DRL and halogen bulb like the 200 Duke. Although the tail lamp and turn signals get full LED lighting.  

Moreover, KTM has also equipped the 250 Adventure with utilitarian features like a black on white LCD. While it does not get Bluetooth connectivity, it shows all the necessary information. It also sports an adjustable windscreen, backlit switchgear, large engine guard, an engine sump guard as well as a 12V charging socket as standard. The KTM 250 Adventure also comes with an ‘Off-Road’ mode that turns off ABS to the rear wheel.  

Although the motorcycle has a tall seat height of 855mm, the slim 14.5-litre fuel tank and design of the seat enable shorter riders to plant their feet on the ground easily. It also offers spacious and well-cushioned seats and a good riding triangle. Furthermore, the wide handlebar is not only comfortable on the highway but also offers good leverage and a short turning radius that makes maneuvering in the city easy.  

The 248cc, single-cylinder motor has been borrowed from the 250 Duke and offers smooth and linear power delivery all through the rev band. The motor is also pleasantly tractable and configured with a tall gearing so you wouldn't be shifting as much to stay in the lower rpm. It also gets a butter smooth six-speed transmission and a light clutch pull.   

Suspension duties are the same as the 390 Adventure with 43mm upside-down forks and a monoshock at the rear both source from WP Suspension. This setup provides a plush ride over minor undulations and small bumps. And while it does feel stiff on larger bumps, it is never unpleasant. As for braking, it employs a 320mm disc at the front and a 270mm disc at the rear.  

Priced at Rs 2.48 lakh, the KTM 250 Adventure costs Rs 34,000 more than the 250 Duke but serves as an affordable option to the 390 Adventure which costs Rs 3.05 lakh.
