Y'all just ignoring the CB300r, it's as fast as the rtr 310, handles better as it's only 146 kgs and has a very refined and peppy engine. It might be lacking in terms of features but it's still a terrific experience overall. All for a price cheaper than the RTR 310.
RTR310 comes with traction control and cruise control as standard so base model with quick shifter is enough. If you want top speed then replace the sprocket with RR310’s sprocket.
@@powerdriftofficialisn't the rear bigger meant for torque ? Smaller rear gives less torque but more top speed , learnt this while seeing a Duke 390 Gymkhana build

In Nepal, the price of KTM is Rs. 7,40,000 (4,62,000 Indian Currency) whereas RTR has not been launched and if it launches, it will be around Rs. 9,00,000 (5,62,000 Indian Currency) for the base variant. If I had enough money, I would go for the RTR because this time TVS completely nailed it in terms of looks, features and every thing.
i am confused, i took test ride of both, as a 6 foot guy 250 feels smaller but way more agile than 310, but 310 has a liitle kick in acceleration in the initial gears (i loved it), is it at 5 bhp more making that difference ?, 310 has more vibration i felt it, but 250 seems to to calmer and refined, as a 2011 FZs owner any of these two bikes should give a considerable upgrade, i ride city ride and highway combined and occasional long rides. will 250 lifted to 820 mm seat height give a better experience ?

I bought the duke and I love it but it’s not a Hwy bike and it will not do 91 mph as advertised it’s lucky to do 70 and it’s redline the shifter in 6th
Wanted to purchase a bike within 3 lakhs. First option was Speed 400. After watching the ownership reviews which mentioned stalling, odometer freeze, cold start problems, engine shutting down at signals, I had to rethink. I don't want my motorcycle to be a mess. My second option is 2024 Vitpilen 250. Your advice is highly appreciated!
Awesome comparo!! I am looking to upgrade from the 150cc class and I have two options in my mind - 250 Duke and Honda CB300R. I keep my motorcycle for 6-8 years and need long term reliability and pocket friendly ownership experience. Also I have cancelled Triumph Speed 400 due to the expensive service and spare parts. PD team and PD Army - PLZ SUGGEST!!!!!
Cb300r is an absolute gem of a machine. Super smooth and refined bike with pricing close to D250 and Rtr310 and also mileage part and city rides will be Fun on this bike. Only the prob is 9.7 ltr fuel tank which could be covered by good mileage. I have booked it after test riding and two of my cousins have rc390 and bmw 310r in my family So i have experience of riding All.
Cornering cruise control , did they say that as a feature 😅😅😅😅...... TVS is just behind in terms of engine.. everything else is nice.. it's pitched right in between 250And 390 Duke...
I don't understand the use of so many features when you won't be able to use it.. as the engine itself is so small.. just feels like a gimmick by TVS for the extra price... cornering abs, traction control, riding modes.. I think bikes with ABS, 2 ride modes and quick shifter is more than enough for sub 400CC motorcycle, you will never get a chance to use all those features in a smaller motorcycle anyway...
Was confused between these. Went with RTR 310 fully loaded kit. For me the only con of RTR is that it is not that flickable as Duke 250. Except this, I'm loving the RTR.
I'm a short guy 5'1". 😅 Took test ride of both, Duke felt more flickable because of better weight distribution. But went with RTR as it was better overall package with kits. @@powerdriftofficial
By the time to add all the gismos the price of the rtr is perilously close to the 390 so this review makes no sense. This review is an attempt to try and save the rtr from the might of the 390.
Confused btw rtr 310, Duke 250 and Duke 390. Which one will powerdrift will suggest, when in all my rides there will be a pillion with me in shorter and longer rides?
If u have budget go to 390 or 250 apache 310 nice bike but its new and lot or room to improve its not completed product also services it expensive part experience because its not tvs engine its bmw engine service engineer not experience , pillion seat is like old ktm rc seat ,standard model not come with quick sifter u pay 16k more to get quick sifter,ktm duke 250 is chiper by 30k u only miss tft display and riding mode
Hey guys! Like you said both of them have a relatively stiffer rear suspension, however which one do you think is better in terms of comfort at slow speeds and stability at higher speeds. Can you also please mention which of them has the better brakes? How about if we add the Speed to the list? IG that's probably the best suspension setup of the 3 isn't it?
Test ride every bike and that's the true Test...No matter how many videos you watch, depending on your demands from bike, and the feedback you get, you'll not be so confused about buying one
Why is no one talking about how badly the RTR310 constructed radiator is getting damaged easily because it's placed right behind the front tyre mud or stone are thrown to the radiator directly 😵💫
Which bike should we go for and will be more comfortable if The daily ride is a total of 60 km (up+down) with 40 Km of Nice and straight traffic free road and 20 km of Village roads with some really bad patches ? Duke 250? Or RTR 310? Or anything else above the 200 CC mark?
I had taken test ride of both the bikes and in the end went with the 250 the rtr has lot of vibrations post 6.5k rpm didn't feel comfortable with that but I honestly love the rtr if there was no vibration I would blindly go for the bike but one more thing to keep in mind is that the tvs service is a hit or miss sometime good sometimes bad as they have only 3 premium bikes and only few service centres who knows how to deal with these bikes
When compared to duek 250 the apache RTR 310s got all the juice yet there is something missing that spark whochi the KTM Duke 250a got that premium look with quality parts on it.
If you're looking at the TVS one, be ready to get lots of headaches as many of those fancy features might not work in a few months and good luck finding a good service center. (I own a ntorq, RTR200), my father has Raider

For the ntorq I was not able to use the xconnect app, millage is 30-32 even though I don't drive fast, there is a vibration sound from the speedo from day1 console for which the dealer told need to install a rubber padding which is not available now and we will bring it within a week, sadly 2 years ho gaya aur wo la nhi paaye, btw I raised complaint with higher authorities and for the issue in ntorq they said that I have to take it to a service station which is 60-70km from my place (dealer service was within 6km), the other option was that they will pick it up but repair and return will take 3-4 weeks, so they would need 3-4 weeks to fix a rubber padding. And I can keep on adding here but I think you got the point. Just to add, check reviews of tvs service centres, you'll understand.
Glad to say that none of the feature ever stopped working on my RTR310 model which is 2 months old with 5500km. went around to do 200km in a single stretch and 800km in 13 hours of drive time. and it was comfortable. i am 5'7". this bike hardly need any maintenance and i come from handling Ntorq as my touring machine. timely make oil and filter change. and air filter replacement. most of its bolts are 5mm allen bolts are so far its proving to be easy to maintain. As far as me is concerned i deal with hardware and software on a daily basis so this kind of tech bike is easy to figure out. and for some less technical individuals yes it is going to be troublesome. app experience is 7/10 and the one this TVS pushes is their silly voice command system which is very annoying. and its the worst by far.
Wanted to know its worth spending the extra 50k on yhe RTR over the 250. Usecase is mostly city rides, with occasional long rides (8-10 hours). I already took a Test drive of the duke and it's comfort is perfect for my frame if that matters
Thanks for letting me know that we need to buy both the kits...up until now I thought the pro kit has all the features whereas the normal kit had limited features
Amongst Speed 400, RTR 310 and duke 250 which bike se fun to ride in city and occasionally highways. Duke 390 running cost will be higher soo i removed it from my list.
I would any day go for cb300r when compared with these two motorcycles, 1. Best price now lowered so 2. Best acceleration 3. No non sense features 4. Best in class mileage because of the compression ratio and light weight 5. Lightest in segment period. 6. Best handling bike 7. Last ......... Besttttt in class reliability. Flaws: 1. Just one that is fuel tank its ok I will live with it now in india for every 100 km you can find a petrol bank so its ok.
counting speed breakers(physical and human :)😅) inside city, i am not sure how would you use higher rev band and still call 250 a city bike, remember cbr250 used to be tourer. about rtr310, it has low end grunt by sprocketing and high revving engine of rr310, so it should come out as good city and tourer or atleast track bike or if you want all of it in parts. For touring it has thrown crruise control which you forgot to mention. Please do make comparo of rtr310 and duke 390 on touring ground, i think they will make a good tourers (not best in company of adventure tourers but fun tourers)
The rtr is super buzzy than the KTM. Other than that I don't see any reason to complain. TVS has given it all. People who can afford the luxury of electronics will buy the kits, people who cant can still be happy with a good product base version. But this bike wont sell unfortunately. TVS needs to bring an ADV asap with all these BTO goodies.
KTM provides quality just look at swingarms of both bikes even engines are top notch, aluminite coated pistons with aluminium die cast cylinder meaning they’re more reliable too!
I will go with the Ninja 300, rather than Duke 390 DUke 250 or Apache 310, where is the fun in single cylinder vibration machines. Lets enjoy the dual cyclinder.

We aren't ignoring it. Honda does not have one in their media fleet
A more sensible review. Elsewhere the RTR 310 is getting bashed for no reason, comparing it with the 390s, which makes no sense
Correct!
it does the thing is rtr base variant can be compared to duke 250 and top variant to duke 390 since it has such vast options to choose from
RTR310 comes with traction control and cruise control as standard so base model with quick shifter is enough. If you want top speed then replace the sprocket with RR310’s sprocket.

@@powerdriftofficial Yes, but it competes with 200cc in performance I think and 150 cc class in mileage so worth the price tag?
Would have been great if there is cb300r along with
Mate! No media unit 😢
Like VP said, no media unit
@@powerdriftofficialI've 2023 CB300R (not OBD2 one).. I'm happy to give if that helps
Somehow i liked the looks of D250 more than D390
The absence of the cowl!
What about the Honda CB300R
No media unit, no testing
Wanted to know its worth spending the extra 50k on yhe RTR over the 250. Usecase is mostly city rides, with occasional long rides (8-10 hours). I already took a Test drive of the duke and it's comfort is perfect for my frame if that matters
Then you already have your answer
After a short test ride, I am convinced that the RTR needs a smaller rear sprocket.
For more top speed?
Thanks for letting me know that we need to buy both the kits...up until now I thought the pro kit has all the features whereas the normal kit had limited features
Here to help
Is it recommended for beginners to but duke 390
The 250 yes.
I’m getting this beast within a year from now ! Duke_250❤
Amongst Speed 400, RTR 310 and duke 250 which bike se fun to ride in city and occasionally highways.
Duke 390 running cost will be higher soo i removed it from my list.
Get speed 400 dude,I recently purchased and I'm just lovin it,yeah lookout for heat in heavy traffics
Fun = Duke
Features = RTR
VFM = Speed
Love the way they introduced the heroes behind the scenes.
Team work makes the dream work.
Sorry. I missed from team. Didn't point btw 2 for agility, reliability Pros Cons in both..can't figure out still 😢
Check the handling section again
i don't need features but i need a good power and torque which one should be better RTR 310 or duke 250
or i don't look at both and go for RR 310
The RTR’s engine is definitely more tractable. The 250 needs to be revved out
Nice Job Editor , that end clip 😏. Keep it Fun Stylish and Informative with Lot of Energy .
Thank you so much 😀
I would any day go for cb300r when compared with these two motorcycles,
1. Best price now lowered so
2. Best acceleration
3. No non sense features
4. Best in class mileage because of the compression ratio and light weight
5. Lightest in segment period.
6. Best handling bike
7. Last ......... Besttttt in class reliability.
Flaws:
1. Just one that is fuel tank its ok I will live with it now in india for every 100 km you can find a petrol bank so its ok.
Well we haven't ridden it yet.
Why don't you compare cb300r which is a much more superior bike
No media unit mate! We replied to every single comment with the same reply 😅
counting speed breakers(physical and human :)😅) inside city, i am not sure how would you use higher rev band and still call 250 a city bike, remember cbr250 used to be tourer. about rtr310, it has low end grunt by sprocketing and high revving engine of rr310, so it should come out as good city and tourer or atleast track bike or if you want all of it in parts. For touring it has thrown crruise control which you forgot to mention. Please do make comparo of rtr310 and duke 390 on touring ground, i think they will make a good tourers (not best in company of adventure tourers but fun tourers)
RTR if you really want to tour. The 390 feels too cramped
i am looking for the rc390 gen3 ..2025
That will happen soon as well.
This didn’t cut the powerdrift standard imo, the memes and the comic part felt forced , Really miss old PD :(
Apologies buddy
The rtr is super buzzy than the KTM. Other than that I don't see any reason to complain. TVS has given it all. People who can afford the luxury of electronics will buy the kits, people who cant can still be happy with a good product base version. But this bike wont sell unfortunately. TVS needs to bring an ADV asap with all these BTO goodies.
ADV sounds good 😌
this makes me curious about the next gen rr310
We are curious too
When the bext gen rr310 will launch? Is there any update? Any official tvs word??
Im really confused between rtr 310 and triumph 400 🤯 please help
Two different classes
The RTRs silencer sticks out like a sore thumb! Cannot unsee it...
Yup! True that
Varun and Jim Jam. Name a better combo I'll wait.
😂😂😂
Does buying cb300r is good over Harley x440 ?
Great content team..Thank you.👍 Now any update on Xpulse 210?
Coming soon is what we hear
KTM provides quality just look at swingarms of both bikes even engines are top notch, aluminite coated pistons with aluminium die cast cylinder meaning they’re more reliable too!
The brand was facing engine issues with the 390. Hopefully, they have solved it
Why did they have to use the Apache moniker all over the tank shroud? apart from that, the design and the colour variant is just 🔥
Attractive no?
Your forgot to mention cruise control and riding modes in the rtr 310
Which one required frequent gear shift at lower speed...(what the case of 390)
The 250 for sure. The RTR can stay in a higher gear easily
varun just adopt me as a younger brother , I wanna ride your bikes and capture it.
Damnnnnn! No wasting time there
I will go with the Ninja 300, rather than Duke 390 DUke 250 or Apache 310, where is the fun in single cylinder vibration machines. Lets enjoy the dual cyclinder.
Please also add Speed 400 and CB300R
Not the same category for the Speed. Honda does not have a media unit for the CB.
Hey Power Drift team, huge fan here! I'm curious, who's the maestro behind your awesome video background music? Such a gem, much love to you all! ❤️
Comes from a private library. ☺️
What if i want to buy cb 200x? I need your suggestions
That's not competition here
In straight line, Dominar 400 at 2.5 lakhs price makes more sense.
But who rides in a straight line anyway
@@powerdriftofficial tourers.
Does the duke 250 and 390 get key immobilizer?
One name. One bike. Honda CB300R. Do review it soon PD Army. Thank you....
NO MEDIA UNITTTTT!
Your content is already enjoyable, you don't need those overused memes in between guys. Don't ruin what's so good in your vides 🙂
Noted! :)
@@powerdriftofficial ❤
City mei kei Vibration bohot zaida feel hota hai kya guys? RTR ka
Jee haa
This video started nice, but towards the second half of the video, there were just too many cringey memes pushed in. One or two tasteful memes thrown in here and there are fine, but the overabundance of it made it a bit difficult to digest. Sharing this feedback since your channel always had good production quality to begin with. Please do not let that production quality go ❤
Appreciate the feedback! 😊
After this video, I think a Duke or Svart/Vit 250 would be a better deal.
Lets do that comparo too!
how does the Speed 400 fair with both these motorcycles?
Different motorcycle completely.
Both these bikes are small. Not meant for Tall guys
We agree
U say that exhaust doesn't look good but such longer side exhausts was the one saved me from Chennai floods on road while my friends underbelly exhaust easily allowed water and seized the engine 😂
Not proportionate :(
Please make a video on best touring bikes discussing about the shock absorbers who loves riding from cities to mountains
Anything in particular that you want to see?
@@powerdriftofficial As a traveler seeking recommendations, could you suggest a bike ideal for extended journeys and touring? I am confused between the new Himalayan, Interceptor 650, Classic 350 and the meteor 350/650 !!!
I am not seeking extreme off-roading but you can count the bad road conditions.
Please help 🙏
How's the rtr for a 6 feet guy? Previous bike was hornet (2016 model)...
VP is 6’2” and felt very comfortable
Honda 300f
Varun is getting nervous about his neck, Hiding it with scarf .
Matlab kuch bhi VP says
