KTM 250 Adventure vs BMW G 310 GS ft Royal Enfield Himalayan Comparison Review | ZigWheels.com

[@TypicalKannadiga]

In the long run, I say BMW is the most effective one. Being a RE owner, it’s one hell of a job to keep the bike going smooth all the time. Every month it’ll have one or the other issue. BMW for the ones who care about peace of mind, himalayan for the ones who love to take tension and risk, ktm 250 is for the one who has no brain.

Previously I owned a r15 s and after its purchase got introduced to touring and its a great bike in every aspect, even the riding position was nothing to complain for the most part (my perspective)... BUT that suspension... OMG! it's so hard and it's the character of that bike. .... And now got BMW g310gs and just completed a 1300km ride and I enjoyed every bit... Especially on the bad roads... Beautiful suspension yet with stability

Many of us look for less high performance maintenance due lack of time now. Congrats again. Really liking your videos

I like the way how these 3 are enjoying the actual bikes rather than acting for a video shoot. Amazing :). Keep it up folks.

[@arnabguha4043]

Not sure about the other 2 but the Himalayan definitely has a lot of credentials around most gruelling terrains around the world. Globally certified to do the job with little fuss.

[@nitish_gulati]

Good stuff. And humorous! :) 1) This video covers offroading, or as Mr Singhi says in another video, rough roading, for 99% of the populationI In that sense, the BMW does provide a more premium riding experience. Also, the updated colors and reduced price have made it even better. 2) Surprising to see that the problems in the earlier Himalayans have been overcome and its as smooth (if not more) at 100 kmph! I would rather save the 80K premium, and spend ~50K on world class touring accessories for the Himalayan, and the remaining on petrol to tour India. 3) Also, if the future holds a Himalayan on the 650 cc parallel twin platform, it would decimate them all!

Re Himalayan High displacement engine with air cooled system (Matlab seriously), and so low power and torque. Whereas KTM at second highest displacement, so medium power and Torque.

I guess this is the reason why Mahindra Mojo (which for some strange reason automobile media mags / bike reviewers have always ignored) is "THE BEST ADV-TOURER" you can buy in India. Just think about these points about Mojo > Far superior built quality (Less plastic & also it wont rust and evaporate into thin air) > Relaxed ergonomics for super comfortable long distance touring (Rider triangle is spot on and even the pillion comfort is much better than any of the bikes showcased here) > 21 litre fuel tank > Wide & raised handle bar, easy to saddle over muddy trails/off-road > Gem of an engine with adequate power & torque, Liquid cooled, fully adjustable rear suspension, slick 6 speed gear box > Brilliant brakes, especially the front disk has amazing bite & stopping power > VFM even with the BS6 avatar (approx 2.55L onroad) > Easy on the pocket service & maintainence cost I hope these points help you all to make the right decision on your Adv- Tourer. Happy Riding!

[@AniketSen]

Bhai...7 ads? all Audi? kya yaar.... anyways, 250 Duke owner and to answer a few of Kathik's dilemmas when comparing the 250 adv vs the 250 duke, you must have experienced a bs3 or bs4 era model...the BS6 250 Duke I own has the same extremely stiff suspension and thereby the pathetic ride quality and the motor is no longer that much capable as that of it's BS3 or BS4 predecessor .....I feel like 250 Gixxers can at times give mine a run for it's money...and that abysmal low end....i feel like an MT15 can keep up in bumper to bumper traffic and up till 0-60...I have ridden a BS4 250 Duke and that feels like it will go airborne post 6000rpm..mine lacks a bit of that kick/punch...
