KTM Adventure 250 Detailed Review

• Adventure 250 Design

  The new KTM 250 Adventure looks similar to its elder sibling ADV bike i.e. the Adventure 390. However, there are some design elements that do make it stand apart from the other ADVs from KTM. For example, the ADV 250 comes with more blacked-out contrast in the paint shade & it also gets slimmer tyres. Additionally, the new KTM 250 ADV comes with a standard tiny fly-screen, LED turn indicators, and an LED taillamp. The halogen headlight on the 250 is the only distinguishing feature between the two brothers. To reduce expenses, it doesn't use the LEDs from the 390. Speaking of colour choices, the  KTM 250 Adventure comes in two hues: Factory Racing Blue and Orange. The rider can easily handle the deep slush & difficult terrain by standing over the foot-pegs. The high-set handlebar helps transform the Adventure motorcycle into a complete off-road monster.

  Summary

  The KTM 250 Adventure's soothing ergonomics and upright seating position make it seem rather pleasant to ride. The KTM 250 Adventure's smaller footprint and more aggressive look will appeal to young buyers.
