Bete fzx 150 le lo......best rahegi......
Being an owner of adventure 250 I can say that it's a ,"PAISA WASUL" package. perfect combination of power, breaking, suspension,heat manegement and vibration minimisation.
millage kitna deta hai high way pe aur city ride pe agar dominar 400 se compre karu to kaunss behtr hoga long toor aur thoda offroad
@@Kgaurabdas city me 32 or highway pe 35 ka mileage milega
How is the after sale service of your bike ? Is there any issue!!
@@sharviljadhav6458 it's ok,but maintenance is expensive.
@@Kgaurabdasif you use xp95 or some other premium petrol it will give you around 42 km/ltr on the highway. If you maintain speed between 70-90
Both the KTM adventure 250 and RE Himalayan are capable ADV bikes. Both these bikes are very good in their forms. In terms of looks The KTM 250 ADV looks modern, the 390adventure inspired design looks very attractive, still it Misses out of some elements like LED headlamps, Bluetooth connectivity compared to its big brother. Where the ktm Shine's is in it's engine performance and handling. The 250cc engine is smooth refined, its reve happy and its very good at higher speeds . Its not completely off road bike still it can go through rough roads pretty good although the suspension could have been little softer, the seat height could have been lowered.
While Himalayan its different bike to KTM. The design purpose built. Its looks proper off road ADV, it gets long travel suspension, 21 &17 inches spoke wheels and highest 220mm ground Clearance. This makes the Himalayan proper off -road adventure bike . yes the engine performance is not that great compared to KTM but where the Himalayan strikes though is its ability to go through bad roads very easy. The engine has low end that aids while off roading. Even for the highway touring the Himalayan is a reasonably comfortable bike for the rider as well as the pillion. Choosing one of these capable machines is little difficult. It depends up on the requirement.
I choose the ktm.
The choice is very clear, jitna shakkar daloge utna meetha.
If you have money buy KTM nahi to Himalayan.
Very true..✌️
New price of Himalayan is ₹ 2,54,502
Not much difference. Assuming a salaried person going for easy financing.
Himalayan don't have liquid cooling, slipper clutch, service intervals is shorter than ktm. 250 advs service interval is 7.5K once. When I test drove Himalayan it is not even close to the word refinement, people who say refinement of Himalayan is good may be biased or not ridden any other bike let's not talk about Yamaha or honda level refinement, it was not even like Bajajs level. Gear box was sluggish too. I was impressed by the looks of Himalayan and was waiting for BS6 bike to be better in terms of refinement and reliability.
It better in refinement than other re offerings
Both himalayan and KTM look good, it's you which one you gonna buy.
Himalayan: 1:short riders
2: budget friendly
3: off road
4: high rpm at low speed
5: looks more aggressive
KTM: 1: A bit expensive as compared to himalayan.
2: 6 speed gears.
3: it's actually much more aggressive on the road.
4: more refined engine.
5: An attractive design.
Riding stance is same in both, we can see clearly when you sit and show the stance, but ur saying ktm is more comfortable, how?? This review is biased towards KTM
True
Exactly
Foot peg position makes KTM more comfortable.
In Himalayan it is set backwards. It puts a slight pressure on the knees.
A true RE lover can't accept praise for other bikes even it’s BMW.
It's interesting comparison in good sense! But One who is majority of times does offloading. Probably Himalayan for them.And if one ejoys exploring places and spend much of time in Highways and B roads then KTM triumphs the Himalayan here. Difference on pricing too. But there are other parameters to be looked at and which makes KTM 250Adv slightly better. May be 55:45 ratio. Suggest to take test ride both motorcycle back to back and then take decision.
i like the design of Himalayan very much but the features in ktm adv is better, confused me which one to buy
If you want repairs every week then buy Himalayan. If u want a modern bike buy ktm . Don't think Himalayan parts are cheap.. But keep in mind that ktm adventure is not a daily bike.. it's 85% road use with mild off road capability. Himalayan off road is good but can't trust when the Tappets and clutch may fail. Ktm service is cheap till 25000km use, later parts and services cost depend on how u have used the bike .
x pulse is a very decent bike with trouble free rides. May be slight under power but u can tune it !!
@@NNA-r5d lol first line was hilarious
@@versatileprasad2084 yea RE is dumb .. The worst deaf R&D team in bike manufacturing. They never care to hear the customer and upgrade.. frame rust,steering cones issues, coil fails, worst headlights ( looks its from a Tonga Era) Rear view mirror is so cheap quality feels it came straight from a reconditioned crome unit.. God the unnecessary weight of 20kg , No Abs, No 6 speed gear box , Now what I do only with some decent suspension.. Re never upgrades!!
@@NNA-r5d hahaha true bro thats why after 7 years of RE owner recently i sold my thunderbird too every week month now and then u have to sit for repairs at garage luckily i got very good mechanic but i spent so much on it that i would have bought 2 machines in same price LOL
Buy both
It comes down to if you tour on proper highways more (buy KTM), or if you go to the Himalayas, other not great roads and proper off-road (buy Himalayan).
According to zigwheels Himalayan is more comfortable and refined than KTM and also Himalayan delivers more mileage, tank range and better off road capabilities than the ktm and at last both bikes delivers same level of performance in 0-60 and 0-100 both are almost same.
And the suspension of ktm are more stiff, it's an adv than suspension should pe softer.
It's better to buy Himalayan or stretch your budget to bmw g310gs or ktm 390. Which delivers you more in the long run.
Royal Enfield Himalayan is refined 😒😒 there are so many vibration all over the handle bar and pegs and seat
Me too I booked himalayan in March 22 till nw I didn't get my bike delivery.. So yesterday I decide to cancelled booking and took test ride of adv 250 and Duke 250.both engine is same bt... After riding adv 250 it feels like I am sitting in 1000cc adventure bike😍and give nice feeling .onroad price of himalayan is 2.59 and adv 250 onroad is 2.62.tomrw I'll be decinding whether I will go for adv 250 or Duke 250.*jst my xperience here.
Also himalayan bs6 2021 stalling issue is there most people are facing stalling problem in traffic or anywhere. .. It is better to buy second hand 2020 bs6 himalayan or go for bs4 himalayan
Thanks for detailed explanation..I think Himalayan is designed to give more off road performance and Adventure 250 for more on road performance. So its depend on the purpose for which one is going to buy bike.
90 percent of our riding is on road itself so ktm is a better option
I guess this is the reason why Mahindra Mojo (which for some strange reason automobile media mags / bike reviewers have always ignored) is "THE BEST ADV-TOURER" you can buy in India. Just think about these points about Mojo > Far superior built quality (Less plastic & also it wont rust and evaporate into thin air)
> Relaxed ergonomics for super comfortable long distance touring (Rider triangle is spot on and even the pillion comfort is much better than any of the bikes showcased here)
> 21 litre fuel tank
> Wide & raised handle bar, easy to saddle over muddy trails/off-road
> Gem of an engine with adequate power & torque, Liquid cooled, fully adjustable rear suspension, slick 6 speed gear box
> Brilliant brakes, especially the front disk has amazing bite & stopping power
> VFM even with the BS6 avatar (approx 2.55L onroad)
> Easy on the pocket service & maintainence cost
I hope these points help you all to make the right decision on your Adv- Tourer. Happy Riding!
Yes... Mojo is another level bike
But what about the service centers
Neither Himalayan Nor KTM
@ 11:10 Splendor is best 🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
😆
Himalayan lover 🔥 off road King 👑
CAN WE ADJUST 250 KTM'S SEAT HEIGHT? DOES IT CHANGE ITS COMFORTABILITY?
*KTM ka torque high RPM par dekhne ko milta hai, mujhe samajh nahi aa raha offloading koun karta hai high RPM par? bas yehi (ek bada problem hai) KTM me, iske alawa sab kuch better hai KTM ka. Chuki KTM me (ek bada problem hai) isiliye overall Himalayan better option hai offloading ke liye.*
This 250cc advanture from ktm is total waste of money. Better to buy himalayan or if you can spend more go for the 390 advanture
For many of us it's not worth bowing and scraping, begging for a big bike license when 250 is plenty
KTM 250 ADVENTURE Promotion Video... KTM SPONSORED
gand jali na?
I feel, KTM 250's price is way above the value it provides. It is not a fair comparison but it's ex showroom is almost similar to Interceptor. Xpulse is half its price.
It's the difference in Casio and sonata..
haa bhai par ktm ka chassis tho nahi tutne wala na
Biased review towards KTM
Himalayan need to launch something with tubeless tyres ,As a new variant of himalayan with little higher power & features for 3lkah price , Thn definitely this can beat any bike in that segment. Everyone loves himalayan but 250 is good one for that price.
Heart says : Himalayan
Brain says : 390 adventure
Dream says : Triumph Tiger
Pocket says : Nothing bro study first
Op bhai 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
But 250 adv is not a hardcore off-roader so why one should buy this bcz a naked sport can does casual off-roading with trail tires.
exactly. The showroom guy only told me this to be honest.
himalayan doesnt need any paid promotion..people who rode it knows its qualities..it has not been a huge success for nothing..built is a big big issue..himalayam clicks it..also the service network of RE is much better..
Value for money The KTM WINS !
Power is about the same just at different parts of the rev range 50/50 TIE !
Top speed I have NO idea !
Ground clearance RE !
OFF Road From what I have seen personally KTM Ridden properly with confidence KTM WINS !!
Modern engine design KTM WINS !!
In just about everything I look for the KTM SPANKS EVERY OTHER MANUFACTURER EXCEPT WHEN you compare the 250 adventure to the BMW G310GS And even that's a very close call !!
Well Done KTM you get my money EVERY TIME !!
U forgot
More problem : himalyan wins
Bad customer support : Himalayan wins
For once, Gearfliq, I feel its not a fair comparison at all.. esp the conclusion, as if, the tightness of budget for 'something better' is indeed the differentiator, and the only one, as made out in the conclusion..
Sorry... The differentiator is so much more in the offroad performance... And in summary, the Himalayan even betters the KTM 390 adv offroad, what to spk of 250..!!
But yes, on pure onroad, KTM 250 betters the Himalayan...
So, the choice for a prospective buyer is not just abt budget, but also his reqmt...
If its moderate highway cruise with superior offroad perf, its indeed the Himalayan.. (my line won't change, even if both were priced same)... And if the buyer's reqmt is superior on road and moderate offroad, then its the KTM...
🙏🙏🙏
😂 what a joke 24 nm trq for an adventure bike and a stiffer suspension! And it costs like more than 50k compared to Himalayan...... 250 adv is a flop 👎 go for the Himalayan the off road King😎💥
i guess after 25000 price drop adv 250 and himalayan 400 should get another round of comparison
Me too I booked himalayan in March 22 till nw I didn't get my bike delivery.. So yesterday I decide to cancelled booking and took test ride of adv 250 and Duke 250.both engine is same bt...

Lol I had to double check. 250 vs 411? Why? I clicked cause it was the 390 vs 411. That would make some sense. KTM is more comfortable than the Himalayan? Confused with this feedback too. Perspectives I guess.
Because 250 is still 50k costlier than 410
Babu Chu spotted.
250 ADV is good for long ride, 😂😂😂 and what about its stiffer seat and hard suspension set-up ???
Himalayan is Himalayan
Point bro
I did 740 km in a single day on the KTM 390 Adventure which has the same seat. Got a sore butt ( which I would have got on any bike for this distance) but the suspension is superb.
@@anirudhganu6773 Hello Sir, All bikes have positive and negative aspects, but since it is an adventure or touring bike, its suspension should be suitable for bad roads, but this suspension can not do it very efficiently and I say this from my experience. I think this machine is good for tarmac 👍🏻 Baki toh Sirji 'teji goli main nehi chalane wale main Hoti hey'.
Exactly.. This review feel quite biased..Praising ktm adventure more and not providing pros of himalayan.
I like the comparison but whats purplexing is zigwheels guys say ktm 250 is less refined compared to Himalayan but here comparison is opposite. Also same with suspension, they say it's too stiff for touring.
I wonder who got it right. Refinement and comfort are relative but drawing almost opposite conclusion is puzzling though.
KTM best
These bikes are leagues apart. KTMs are far more sophisticated. Truly genuine review. Unlike the others where reviewers shy away from criticising the RE. The one thing that definitely goes in favor of RE are spoked wheels.
Born to rule the Himalayas..... THE HIMALYAN 😍😍
Please help me to select one from all these. Purpose is just touring.
Dominar 400
Duke 390
Himalayan
Highness cb 350
Bullet 350
Adventure 390
Go for DOM if it's only for touring.. Himalayan is an all-rounder... cb350 is a commuter kind... Better avoid bullet 350 coz u can see anywhere anytime.. Adv is also good but bit costly.. and Duke 390 is a shit for touring...
why not gixxer 250? 🤔
10:45 ZigWheels has told the exact opposite on vibrations in their recent video
This is a clear paid video
@@ritwikswikriti0422 no... That was
Biased to dikh rha hai KTM ke side well you are human you will definetly use your emotions it is evident your personal fav. Is ktm adv 250 which says alot about ktm 👍 keep up the good work.
Actually, build quality matters . And most of people look for a adventure bike which is capable of touring and little off-roading.
Ktm is best in build quality
Compare Himalayan to Jawa bike not KTM adventure..
My only concern is bloody tube tyres ..
Every thing else is fine but the only Dhokeybaz cheez is tube tyre.
Bc remote area mein fss gye toh lene K dene ho jaye gaay.
So R.E find a solution for this prob.
I personally like himalayan for torque but i love ktm too on highways. M a little confused on this flash sale by KTM on 250 adv
himalayan is better because it gives three mudguards instead of two that the ktm gives. Maybe ktm has done cost-cutting by cutting one mudguard and also a few kilos or iron&steel
Himalayan is Himalayan no one can beat him
New models are BS. Lack power and the fun to drive is gone.
Kuch bhi bas fan boy h isliye bol raha h
Bro which best bike for daily commuters and city ride xpulse or himalayan
Both Are Good. I Own A Himalayan Too. Best All Rounder Bike. If You Want A Bike That Can Do Anything Without Any Hesitation Then Just Close You Eyes And Go For Himalayan. Don't Give Too Much Attention To Cons. Every Bike Has Its Own Cons. Just Get It.
@@SriAurobindo1572 how about pillow one side ride it will good na
@@KishoreKumar-nk4hq I Didn't Get Your Question, Please Specify Me What You Want To Ask?
@@SriAurobindo1572bro pillow riding with parantes its confertable
@@KishoreKumar-nk4hq Yeah It's Very Comfortable For Rider As Well As For Pillion.
Someone should increase the power in that Himalayan. 411 cc and only 24hp. I mean, was expecting like 40 Nm and atleast 35hp. I know air cooled are not that great in efficiency but still
Harley davidson is just air cooled engine with 1000cc is just engineering things
@11.15 seconds : See the hero coming in Splendour from behind :D
Technically KTMs are miles ahead of RE.
Power to weight ratio was most important which you mentioned.
Sir duke 390 ka review our milage test plzzzz
Plastic Vs iron
Choose your options 😃😃
I think the host is a little too biased. Himalayan vibrates at 80kph? No way. Also, the 250Adv has received very poor reviews throughout the media. Lack of power and high vibration issues at 6000rpm.
Sir ktm duke 125 second generation ka review karo please
Weight says Ktm, Suspension says Himalayan, Design says Ktm, Height says Himalayan 😒
Is 250 adventure better than dominar 400
Very nice and detailed review
Vote for himalayan
Aapko bikes ke barey me pata bhi hai ya nahi???
Sikha do bhai
BRAIN SAYS~ADV 250
HEART SAYS ~HIMALAYAN
KIDNEY SAYS ~BMW GS310
POCKET SAYS ~ XPULSE
himalayan accelerates faster , goes further and costs less and weight difference is just 22kgs ...i pick himalayan
22 Kgs lol 😂
With 250cc engine, it sounds like regular bike's engine to many people,but it's deep true that a sports bike manufacturer if produces small cc engine bike that can have much higher power and torque than other same cc engine bikes. So ,it's justified to be high price of such bikes. Himalayan is not a sports category of bike so that it lacks many useful features, actually offered by KTM.
Content was ok but you guys compared re himalayan with 250 adventure, seriously guys, get some smart choice.
Himalayan IS better. Only bike that can come close to beating Himalayan is the Xpulse 300 IF and WHEN its launched.
are they going to launch it?
@@nytroxnikko1532 Well we know Hero's track record, thats why I said "if" 😂
@@parikshitbasu1723 I just test rode himalayan today. Got really excited when I saw the title of this video. Sadly I won't be waiting for so long. Well either go for suzuki gixxer 250 or dominar 400 or Himalayan.

It doesn't
@@icarussemwal5969 you have bad taste bro
@@YashBhardwajyashbhardwaj Bhai Himalayan is always best hai
KTM se acha hai royal Enfield's
Just take a test ride of both for telling real difference; ktm has weak low end but its not so bad but its suspension setup is crap , so hard and crappiest thing is its rock hard seat , Himalayan is leaps and bounds ahead in comfort . Also there are no vibrations on 80 , vibrations do creep only after 100 kmph.
You are more practical...thanks
But reliable konsi h??
Sir ap TVS Apache RTR 160 4v bs6 ka Mileage test kijiye please

Plastic toy is comparing with king 👑🥳
But these time ktm win bro ktm. Adventure looks cooler than himalayan
ek perfect bike batao...... 2.5 lakh budget hai........comfort top priority hai, kamar me ek bhi jhatka nahi lagna chahiye, village road me
Ktm 250 adventure
In my place Himalayan is 285000 and ktm adv250 is 300000 which one should i go for?
Go for adv if you want it for road touring, if you want off roading then go for Himalayan
Seems like you really forget about Pulsar 200 AS 🤨

What shoes are you wearing bro?
if you have the budget go for ktm adv 250.. you will never regret
Sir.. main bmw g310r Ko touring purpose k liye use karna chahta hoon..is that possible for a long ride..please suggest
Yes, you can. Par g310gs better hai touring ke liye.
If you are a tall rider (5'10" and more) go for KTM
Plz improve the camera quality sir with colour strength
Bhai mera height 5.4 himalayan suitable hoga keya?
Hi Kalpa yes it will be very suitable for your height, it has a very low seat.

Hello Bhai ji,
Greetings!
I appreciate you and applaud you for the knowledge you possess about bikes and the way you explain. The only thing I am concerned about is these dealers. I read their reviews on Google and if I talk about this dealer, it has 2.9 ratings from 198 Google reviews. I read most of the buyers are not happy with the buying experience, especially post-sales. I also believe that they tamper with the odometers of the bikes.
Most of us watch your videos and get to know about these dealers so it's your responsibility to either give all the viewers, a disclaimer or something else which helps people understand, how to not get into dealers' traps.
All the best! Keep up the good work 🤟
KTM 250 is much more comfortable in a long ride.. WTF
Adventure my dear
It's unfair to compare a proper off roaderloke the himalayan with a tourer loke the ktm
ktm ne purey paise khilaye hai isko.... everybody knows himalayan gives more comfort in terms of long distance.
Aapko kisne paise khilaaye comment ke liye?
@@GearFliQ I viewed the video and found that you were continuously positioning ktm on a higher position inspite of knowing the fact that ktm only beats the himalayan in terms of power and electronics.. that's it... and it's comment which is meant for sharing thoughts I guess.. And I guess you got sponsored from KTM for making this video where you are paid for few false facts about himlayan..
Thank you sir
please take a review hero xtreme 200s
