2025 KTM 250 Adventure has been launched. The bike is based on the same new platform as the 2025 390 Adventure and 390 Adventure X. The 2025 250 Adventure is powered by the same engine as the latest 250 Duke, producing 31 hp and 25 Nm of torque. It also gets a repositioned exhaust outlet lower on the bodywork, instead of the previous low, upward-facing exhaust outlet.
This improved engine is housed in a two-piece steel tubular spaceframe, and the aluminium subframe that was on the improved 390 is gone. The front suspension is 19 inches and the rear suspension is 17 inches. The suspension setup has also been revised, with 200 mm of travel at the front and 205 mm at the rear, the same as the new 390 Adventure model.
Braking is provided by 320 mm and 240 mm discs (front/rear) with dual-channel ABS. In typical KTM style, the rider is given the option to switch off the rear ABS via the Off-road mode. Compared to the previous model, the bike’s unladen weight remains unchanged at 177 kg. The 2025 model year bike also sees a slight decrease in tank capacity (by 0.5 liters), to 14 liters.
The equipment list of the 250 Adventure has also been updated. The biggest innovation is the same 5-inch TFT display that is also featured on the 390 Duke and the latest 390 Adventure. For the first time, the 250 Adventure comes with ride-by-wire, which means it can now be equipped with a bidirectional quickshifter.
Design-wise, the 250 Adventure is completely new for 2025, moving closer to the larger models in the KTM range. Another change is the adoption of projector headlights instead of the halogen lights of the previous bike.
