New Yezdi Adventure vs KTM 250 Adventure spec check

Adventure bikes are getting more interesting and the latest to spice up the segment is the updated Yezdi Adventure, which competes with a host of motorcycles such as the XPulse 210, Royal Enfield Himalayan, KTM 390 Adventure, and the KTM 250 Adventure — a motorcycle that lives in the shadows of its larger siblings.

So how does the new Yezdi Adventure compare against the KTM 250 Adventure in terms of specifications and features? Let’s take a closer look.

New Yezdi Adventure vs KTM 250 Adventure: Features and equipment

The New Yezdi Adventure has seen subtle, but interesting updates — new decals, a high front fender, and an off-set dual headlight setup. The motorcycle gets telescopic front forks, a monoshock at the rear, a 21-17 wheel setup with spoke wheels, LED lighting, and disc brakes at both ends with switchable ABS. The new Yezdi Adventure retains the LCD instrument panel and now also gets traction control — bringing it on par with the competition.

The KTM 250 Adventure is every bit the 390, but with a smaller engine. The motorcycle features the latest design inspired by the rally bikes, and the high front fender with a tall screen give it a purposeful look. The KTM 250 Adventure rides on alloy wheels, a 19-17 wheel setup, gets USD forks and a monoshock at the rear. The KTM 250 Adventure is packed to the brim with electronic aids including off-road ABS and a quickshifter.

New Yezdi Adventure vs KTM 250 Adventure: Engine specifications

Both motorcycles are powered by a single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine mated to a six-speed gearbox. On paper, both make identical power, but the KTM is lighter, and the inclusion of a quickshifter makes it a quick-accelerating motorcycle. We are yet to ride the new Yezdi Adventure, so we will reserve our comments on its performance for now.
