In the long run, I say BMW is the most effective one. Being a RE owner, it’s one hell of a job to keep the bike going smooth all the time. Every month it’ll have one or the other issue. BMW for the ones who care about peace of mind, himalayan for the ones who love to take tension and risk, ktm 250 is for the one who has no brain.
Previously I owned a r15 s and after its purchase got introduced to touring and its a great bike in every aspect, even the riding position was nothing to complain for the most part (my perspective)... BUT that suspension... OMG! it's so hard and it's the character of that bike. .... And now got BMW g310gs and just completed a 1300km ride and I enjoyed every bit... Especially on the bad roads... Beautiful suspension yet with stability
NIKHIL S KUMAR Sagar Sheldekar has already reported that there are no reliability issues on his BS6 Himalayan Long term bike. So there goes your BS claim. Its about time you RE haters came up with some new material apart from reliability and vibrations which are a thing of the past now.
I'm starting to realise that powerdrift info,drama and value is going down after watching zigwheels take on the same thing PD does not give much info or its losing its charm It used to be awesome during Sagar's time
The audi advertisement is really good... but i was annoyed by the bike review in between !!! Why are you placing so many ads in middle of a car advertisement ha zigwheels ????😂😂😂😂😂

Not sure about the other 2 but the Himalayan definitely has a lot of credentials around most gruelling terrains around the world. Globally certified to do the job with little fuss.
Xpulse 200 would be perfect choice, its rugged, reliable & very cheap to maintain plus we'll get hero service center in every corner of country. Himalayan is good but it needs to loose weight, 199kg with just 24ps/32nm.
This is by far the best review I have seen in a while. Content is really good and has useful information. Video quality is really good as well as music choice. The audio or voice recording is good but it could improve. Microphone abounds muffled sometimes. No biggie. The chemistry you guys have is awesome. It feels like you are hanging out with friends taking about vehicles. You guys have a future in tv together.
I'm a ktm fanboy but they definitely screwed the pooch on this one, the price is not justified at all 😂 They could have Atleast thrown in the quickshifter if nothing else
I’m in the market as a beginner for each of these 3 bike. Your guys are awesome and really put things in perspective without having a bias. Great job guys!
1)Which is more refined at crusing speed of 80 to 110 ? 2) which is more comfortable for 500 km a day 3) long term maintenance cost EXPERT ADVICE needed I want to book in this week 🙏.
@V G what about BMW s cluster it resembles Gixxer's And KTM s it not a colour LCD screen they just made a cluster 3rd Copy product inspired from D390s..... I THINK HIMALAYAN GOT A DIGI-ANALOUGE CLUSTER WHICH I PREFER TO
I own a himalayan 2021 model which is much better than the previous models but still I feel I need more power on the highways and now my bro is getting gs 310. I believe both are awesome
Good stuff. And humorous! :) 1) This video covers offroading, or as Mr Singhi says in another video, rough roading, for 99% of the populationI In that sense, the BMW does provide a more premium riding experience. Also, the updated colors and reduced price have made it even better. 2) Surprising to see that the problems in the earlier Himalayans have been overcome and its as smooth (if not more) at 100 kmph! I would rather save the 80K premium, and spend ~50K on world class touring accessories for the Himalayan, and the remaining on petrol to tour India. 3) Also, if the future holds a Himalayan on the 650 cc parallel twin platform, it would decimate them all!
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!
One more thing to add please change your current home near by re showroom... Because we can't predict which time your bike would have problem s, starting issue reported many pre owners . Re service is bull shit... This re him is best no doubt but expect thire service.

Himalayan is the best bro ❤️no confusions u get a best value for money vehicle with best comfort and performance .far best than dominar in all ways including mileage .king of offroading.service n reliability is far ahead of bajaj.even short riders can ride it and handling is very good a bit heavy that's all.take a test drive u will know y many people loves himalayan.
Great video guys. Finally something more creative for adv and dirt bikes. You only missed one important thing which would be nice to know even via private message but you should maybe add it to your comparisons as well as nobody does it: add the basic SERVICE INTERVAL in kilometers. Many of us look for less high performance maintenance due lack of time now. Congrats again. Really liking your videos
ktm makes one of the best tourer/offroading bikes, but they fail to make a good one in small CC like 250 n 390, they are more gt bikes than advs. gs for the win this time
Nowadays Royal Enfield is more sensible to buy that KTM, RE is making reliable engine for some time now, service centers all over country , easy availability of parts, Lesser price Tag comparing to other companies. RE Bullys doesn't have a topic nowadays.
Just took test drive of 310GS. It's an amazing machine. Going to buy in Jan. After went to KTM for adventure. I didn't even took the test drive after sitting on bike. It's too high (5'-9") for me. N fit n finish and feel was pathetic. Completely opposite to BMW. Guys just checkout both bikes in person n you will know.
My favorite Channel in MC reviews...Love the comparison feel around it' and higly skilled reviews who's having fun :) and pleased to see Indian brands and the lower cc Bikes Between 125cc up to 750cc...Allways have the urge to buy one every time i see this ...lol..

Bro, zigwheels improved a lot from last year. Now it feels so informative as well as so well written and edited. Kudos guys to the whole team

Royal Enfield smoother than BMW and KTM at the speeds of 100kmph. 2020 is still ON !😂

2) which is more comfortable for 500 km a day
3) long term maintenance cost

On a budget himalayan is the one
But the best adv under 4 lacs would be gs

Maintenance cost of BMW GS is also very high, as good as maintenance of a premium car... around 8000 to 9000 pet service (Aug 2021)
