Adventure tourer segment is there so that KTM can leave a rich heritage behind. We have witnessed the brand bagging multiple Dakar titles and therefore, it is one of the major reasons why everyone thinks that KTM is the most capable bike manufacturers when it comes to adventure tourers.
The Adventure 390 was a hell of a practical bike with almost all kinds of offroad capability. Then, what could have been the reason behind introducing an even smaller Adventure 250? There are many but fuel efficiency and aggressive pricing can surely justify it for now. The Austrian manufacturer has slashed the price of the KTM Adventure 250 by Rs.25,000 and people who wish to own it are expected to rush to their nearest dealerships because this offer will be available only for a limited period.

- To get affordable by Rs.25,000 with this offer ending on 31st August 2021.
