    New KTM 250 Adventure Spied Before Launch – Details Revealed

    New KTM 250 Adventure SpiedThe same 249 cc DOHC 4V single-cylinder engine with 30 bhp and 25 Nm, mated to a 6-speed gearbox will power new KTM 250 Adventure
    Expanding its lineup, KTM has been working on development of a multitude of products. The company is set to unveil 390 Adventure R, 390 Enduro R and 390 SMC R at 2024 EICMA show. However, there are new developments in KTM’s 250 platform, which have been revealed through the latest spy shots.
    We’re talking about the new KTM 250 Adventure spied ahead of launch, which sheds light on expected changes over current model. With a multitude of changes, upcoming 250 Adventure will rival the likes of Yezdi Adventure, Kawasaki KLX 230 S and to some extent, upcoming Hero Xpulse 210 with Karizma engine.

    New KTM 250 Adventure
    Currently, KTM offers its Adventure lineup with 250 and 390 platforms. Both 250 Adventure and 390 Adventure are offered with the older design that debuted a long time ago. There have been multiple test mules of 2025 KTM 390 Adventure which features a brand new design language.
    This upcoming vehicle is a lot more edgier than current model. The recently spotted 2025 KTM 250 Adventure gets similar design too, but underpinned by the same engine as current 250 Duke. As seen in these spy shots, KTM has carried over its edgy design language we saw with upcoming 390 Adventure.
    2025 KTM 250 Adventure Spied
    However, there are a few elements that will easily differentiate 390 Adventure from 250 Adventure. For starters, 250 Adventure lacks LED DRLs, something which 390 Adventure gets. Other than that, 250 Adventure lacks the colour TFT screen that we have seen with new generation 390 Duke launched in India.
    This is slightly interesting because smaller and less expensive 200 Duke gets the same TFT screen as 390 Duke, but 250 Adventure is deprived of it. In its place, we get a less-flashy unit, which can be navigated via controls on the left switchgear. Other than these changes, new KTM 250 Adventure seems to be packing slightly skinnier tyres than the 2025 390 Adventure.

    ORVM stalks on 250 Adventure look similar to the ones seen on Pulsar NS400Z and Dominar models. Wheels are of wire-spoke design and looks like they are 19-inchers at the front and 18-inchers at the rear. We hope these are tubeless types. This is the first time KTM is offering wire-spoke wheels on 250 Adventure.
    Engine specs, Features
    We expect 250 Adventure to retain the same 249 cc DOHC 4V single-cylinder engine as current model. Around 30 bhp of peak power and 25 Nm of peak torque is expected out of this engine. A 6-speed gearbox and a slip and assist clutch will be offered. More details will be revealed in the future.

    New KTM 390 Enduro Spied Testing Ahead Of Launch

    New KTM 390 EnduroThe new KTM 390 Enduro is set to debut at 2024 EICMA show alongside other motorcycles based on company’s 390, 990 and 1390 platforms
    It is raining ADVs in India, especially in the mainstream segment. We are awaiting Kawasaki KLX 230 S, Hero Xpulse 210, Xpulse 440, Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Raid among others. From the house of KTM, there are two incoming ADVs, based on its top-tier 390 platform. The new spy shots show upcoming KTM 390 Enduro in production spec avatar. Let’s take a look.
    New KTM 390 Enduro Spied Testing
    The term ADV encompasses a broader range of motorcycles within it. From within KTM’s lineup, we only had the Adventure model, based on 390 and 250 platforms, which is more of an upright long-distance tourer, rather than a true-blue off-roader.
    So, KTM identified this and has formulated a more off-road-worthy vehicle based on the 390 platform. That is where the 390 Enduro comes into action, featuring fewer body panels without a fairing to break when it falls while off-roading, which is a common occurrence, even for seasoned off-road enthusiasts.
    We can see a small headlight, followed by a large beak, which protects the components above while landing from a jump. Even though we said fewer body panels, 390 Enduro has muscular and angular tank shrouds for a macho appeal. Fuel tank shape is quite unique with a bulging top and bike’s keyhole is on the fuel tank as well.
    KTM 390 Enduro
    There are frame sliders installed, which look like standard fitment. They protect the motorcycle when it falls. These spy shots are credited to automotive enthusiast Narinder Tandon. Notable elements seen on these spy shots are many. 390 Enduro features the same main frame as new 390 Duke, while the rear subframe is new and accommodates a relatively flat seat.
    What to expect?
    There is an extended tail section that houses bike’s rear registration plates and LED winkers. Components include 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wire-spoke wheels wrapped with dual-sport tyres, USD telescopic front forks from WP that we hope are adjustable for compression and rebound, a rear mono-shock setup, single disc setup at both ends with dual-channel ABS, among others.
    Where features are concerned, 390 Enduro will get switchable ABS on rear wheel, a 5-inch TFT digital instrument cluster with music control and Bluetooth connectivity and turn-by-turn navigation, and a host of controls on left switchgear to control it, all LED lighting, a USB charging port and adjustable brake and clutch levers, among others.
    KTM 390 Enduro
    Powertrains-wise, we can expect the same 398.63cc, DOHC 4V, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine generating around 46 hp of peak power and 39 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 6-speed gearbox, a slip and assist clutch and a bi-directional quick shifter. The company is set to debut the new KTM 390 Enduro at 2024 EICMA show, alongside other motorcycles. More

    2024 KTM 200 Duke LaunchNew colour TFT display for KTM 200 Duke replaces the earlier LCD backlit unit that was in service for more than a decade
    As part of its annual upgrade exercise, KTM has introduced new features for 200 Duke to ensure a better overall experience for enthusiasts. Starting October, the popular KTM 200 Duke will come equipped with an all-new 5-inch colour TFT display. The updated 200 Duke is available at a starting price of Rs 2,03,412 (ex-sh., Delhi).
    2024 KTM 200 Duke – New 5-inch TFT display
    Positioned at a proper angle, the all-new TFT colour display for KTM 200 Duke ensures easy visibility for riders. The new TFT display is derived from the unit in use with Gen-3 KTM 390 DUKE. All information is displayed in a clear, concise manner.
    2024 KTM 200 Duke Launch
    While the TFT display may appear fragile, it is made from bonded glass and is designed for robust use. KTM has also added a new switch cube that can be used to access the various functions of the TFT display. With the 4-way menu switches, users can access various functions including smartphone connectivity. Users can take or reject incoming calls and access music from their smartphones. Turn-by-turn navigation is also available via the KTM My-Ride app. The menu switches make it really easy to access various features while riding the bike.
    Bluetooth functions and turn-by-turn navigation
    With the integrated Bluetooth, the rider will be able to identify the incoming call, as displayed on the TFT display. Based on their preference, the rider can use the mode switch to accept or reject the call. As a safety measure to avoid rider distraction, KTM has limited the number of functions that can be accessed. For example, the rider will not be able to access the phone’s address book. Also, the Bluetooth does not support outgoing calls while riding the bike.
    2024 KTM 200 Duke Launch
    After pairing the smartphone with the KTM Connect app via Bluetooth, the rider can access turn-by-turn navigation. KTM offers a versatile and accurate navigation system, with directions displayed on the TFT display. In addition to navigation, the KTM Connect app can also be used to access other travel information and important data and information related to the bike.
    2024 KTM 200 Duke Launch

    With a Bluetooth helmet headset, the rider can access the music from their smartphone. This will be possible with a KTM MY RIDE-equipped bike. Once paired via Bluetooth, the rider can use the menu switch on the left handlebar to access various music functions. For example, the rider can change tracks and increase or decrease volume. Information about the track being played is displayed on the TFT screen.
    2024 KTM 200 Duke Launch
    Based on their requirement, the rider can choose the Supermoto ABS mode via the TFT display. When the Supermoto ABS is activated, the ABS function on the rear wheel is disengaged. This could be needed for Supermoto riding or for competition where controlled slides are required.
    Based on their preferences, riders can customize the 5-inch TFT display. For example, the shift RPM and limit RPM can be changed via the menu switch. Several of the options available on the display can also be customized. Users can also customize some of the shortcuts of certain functions. Apart from the above updates, there are no other mechanical changes to the 2024 KTM 200 Duke. Powering the bike is a 199.5 cc, liquid cooled, single cylinder engine that produces 25 PS and 19.3 Nm. It is mated to a 6-speed gearbox. More

    KTM is known for introducing extensive updates for its bikes. Most recent example is the new 390 Duke that has been unveiled across global markets, including India. It featured the new 399cc engine, which the company will now offer with other models like 2025 KTM 390 Adventure R as well. Also, there are two more 390 models, this time around.
    One is called Enduro 390 R, which has been spied testing in India as well. The third mystery 399cc motorcycle is called 390 SMC R, which will be closely related to 390 Enduro R. Apart from these three, KTM could showcase bigger bikes based on 990 or 1390 platform at 2024 EICMA.
    2025 KTM 390 Adventure R
    Apart from the 2025 lineup of 990 and 1390 based KTM big bikes to be showcased at EICMA, there will be three product showcases relevant to Indian market. These three upcoming motorcycles are based on the smaller 390 platform and will join the already-launched 390 Duke.
    These are 390 Adventure R, 390 Enduro R and 390 SMC R. While we are familiar with 390 Adventure from the past, 390 Enduro R and 390 SMC R are new models. Notably, we have seen test mules of 390 Enduro R, but the 390 SMC R is completely out of the blue.
    2025 KTM 390 Adventure Enduro Spied
    Speculations suggest that it could be a Supermoto version of this platform, closely resembling the enduro-style 390 Enduro R. Only the dual-sport Enduro is likely to get the 21-inch front wheel for extreme off-roading. Rivaling off-road motorcycle offering from Royal Enfield. 
    With all these motorcycles, we can expect a sportier look and feel. LED headlights, DRLs, sharper edges, colour-injected plastic parts and edgier graphics are likely. 2024 KTM 390 Duke utilizes a two-piece construction. It has a new trellis main frame, along with an aluminium rear frame. We can expect a similar chassis setup on these 390 models.
    What to expect?
    The new frame not only enhances the looks but is also designed to improve agility, torsional rigidity and feedback from the chassis. WP Apex USD forks with adjustable rebound and compression damping, offset WP Apex split-piston shock absorber with pre-load and rebound adjustability, new lightweight alloy wheels, new four-piston radial brake calliper and a two-piston rear calliper are expected components.
    KTM 390 Enduro (top) and 390 Adventure (below)
    Features-wise, we can expect ride-by-wire tech, a 5-inch TFT display with Bluetooth and navigation, a USB C charging port, illuminated switchgear, adjustable brake and clutch levers, and forged aluminium foot pegs are likely. There will be riding modes too along with a slew of electronic rider aids.
    All these upcoming 390 motorcycles get the same 399 cc engine with 44 bhp of max power and 39 Nm of peak torque. A bi-directional quick shifter, a slipper clutch and a 6-speed gearbox are likely features. Engine characteristics might be unique to each machine.
    After five long years, KTM is returning to EICMA and is likely to make quite a spectacle showcasing its impressive range of upcoming 390, 990 and 1390 motorcycles. The company is poised to showcase some of its upcoming technology like AMT gearbox and an 8.8-inch instrument cluster. There are rumours of 125 Adventure R and 125 SMC R as well, which will be interesting to see. More

    As seen with the recent spy shots there are no design changes with this update. Body panels and styling elements are still edgy, in typical KTM manner, still retaining the old Duke DNA and not the one seen with the new 390 Duke, adhering to original Duke’s design ethos.
    200 Duke Electronic Orange
    The main update with 2024 KTM 200 Duke is that it gets a new larger instrument screen. With this new cluster, 200 Duke will get Bluetooth connectivity and a host of other features. This new screen will replace the old LCD backlit unit that has done duty on KTM bikes for over a decade.

    Apart from 200 Duke, KTM is also updating its most affordable 125 Duke as well. While 200 Duke got just one update, 125 Duke gets two updates. For starters, it gets the same instrument cluster along with updated switchgear as seen with the new 200 Duke. In addition, 2024 KTM 125 Duke gets all-LED headlights.

    KTM is brining back the Silver colourway with 2024 200 Duke. While colour options on 2024 125 Duke are still unknown. With updated 200 Duke and 125 Duke, KTM might incorporate a price hike as well. Exact price hike is not known yet, but we can expect around Rs 4,000 to Rs 5,000 with 200 Duke and slightly more with 125 Duke.

The brake lever will be an adjustable unit and the same could be true for the clutch lever as well.

    KTM 390 Adventure Enduro – Launch date, price
    It is expected that KTM will showcase the 390 Adventure Enduro at the upcoming EICMA, scheduled for November 7-10. The bike could be launched subsequently by the end of this year or early 2025.
