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

KTM 250 ADV vs Himalayan is the battle of the entry level adventure tourers.
KTM 250 Adventure vs BMW G 310 GS - which one gives a more premium experience?
KTM 250 Adventure mileage test scores are high in the city as well as on the highway.
Himalayan vs 310 GS off road compared
KTM has tried to offer a sensible and affordable adventure touring package with the 250 Adventure. By combining the engine from the 250 Duke to the foundations of the 390 Adventure, KTM’s 250 ADV comes in at Rs 2.48 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi), which is roughly Rs 50,000 cheaper than the 390 ADV. But when it comes to sensibility, BMW Motorrad India too has become wise and slashed the asking price of the G 310 GS. In its BS6 avatar, it is Rs 64,000 cheaper than before, now priced at Rs 2.85 lakh. And it packs more features, retains the premium BMW quotient and some attractive paint schemes. However, it would have been a big miss if we didn’t bring along the OG: the Royal Enfield Himalayan. For long, it has been the go-to adventure touring motorcycle in the entry-level space, brushing off new contenders without much stress. So, can the new premium arrivals ruffle up the Himalayan’s feathers? Or is the king still going to reign supreme?

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

[@suchibanta]

This is by far the best review I have seen in a while. Content is really good and has useful information. Video quality is really good as well as music choice. The audio or voice recording is good but it could improve. Microphone abounds muffled sometimes. No biggie. The chemistry you guys have is awesome. It feels like you are hanging out with friends taking about vehicles. You guys have a future in tv together.

Great video guys. Finally something more creative for adv and dirt bikes.

[@birajroy7328]

The background music , oohhh premium 🔥

[@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!

[@SirKart]

Hahaha.. hullo sah! Nicely encapsulated!

[@9766923295]

[@amit6844]

Xpulse 200 would be perfect choice, its rugged, reliable & very cheap to maintain plus we'll get hero service center in every corner of country. Himalayan is good but it needs to loose weight, 199kg with just 24ps/32nm.

[@abirkumarbardhan8467]

Nonetheless Xpulse is a good motorcycle but cruising speed is quite low. Hope next gen Himalayan will stand out of the crowd. Finger-crossed!

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.
