KTM India has launched the new 250 Adventure V variant which brings a low seat height version of the quarter liter adventure touring bike. The KTM 250 Adventure V is very similar to the recently introduced 390 Adventure V, with a lowered seat height of 834mm compared to the standard seat height of 855mm.New KTM 250 Adventure V variant available at the same price as the standard model ¥247,000 (ex-showroom).
The new KTM 250 Adventure V’s lower seat height makes it easier for riders with shorter inseams to keep their feet on the ground. That said, the trade-off for the low seat height is also reduced ground clearance, which now measures 175mm compared to 200mm on the standard model. Aside from these changes, there are no differences between the standard 250 Adventure and 250 Adventure V.
