Pros Cons of KTM 250 Adventure

Pros

  • More comfortable riding position
  • Powerful and refined performance
  • Great for touring

Cons

  • Slightly stiff suspension
  • Needs frequent gear changes
  • No LED headlamp

Verdict

The KTM 250 Adventure is quite a likeable motorcycle. In fact, our time with it was brief, and I still can't stop thinking about it, to spend some more time. It offers an unintimidating package, and experienced riders may feel the lack of performance, but it still manages to be enjoyable, and entertaining even. But with this ₹ 2.48 lakh price tag, it's still a slightly expensive proposition, although it ticks off all the boxes to be a versatile entry-level adventure bike.

Pros Cons KTM RC 390

Pros

  • Sharply styled
  • High on performance & handling
  • Extremely value-friendly

Cons

  • Polarising new design
  • Finish could be better
  • Too compact for taller riders

Verdict

The next-generation KTM RC 390 has become more accessible and friendlier so even if you’re upgrading from a smaller bike, the new KTM RC 390 is comfortable to ride. With the new updates, it has become a bike that is more suited for everyday use, and for a minority of users who want to cut their teeth on a racetrack, it still offers a capable and potent track tool. Prices though have gone up by ₹ 36,000, it still makes a very strong case as a performance-oriented and well-equipped sports bike.
