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.
i have seen one only in hyderabad & one more in pune that's it. i bought the duke and I've seen it multiple times in both cities. i feel bad for tvs as it is a decent bike.
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

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.
Hey team, absolutely loved the entertaining and informative aspect of the video! The narration style, the funny banter made the comparison very very engaging and exciting. Keep up the amazing work!
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.
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.
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...

Confused between these two bikes, the KTM 250 and RTR 310, would have bought KTM long before probably in December but was concerned about its image. The image Chapri associated with it . People who have bought the bike recently. Have you ever got trolled ,negatively commented about owning a Ktm or duke Chapri or you being called Chapri because you own this bike
omg!!! i was waiting for a video like this for a very long time . I was very much confused between these two bikes on which one should I buy and thanks to the video now I know
You can buy a mi phone for features it's the bike we love to ride not the features also , how can someone brag about the quality when the core component of the bike which is the engine vibrates like an auto rickshaw.
Yeah. The engine is a problem. Unfortunately, a lot of people in India want features and the RTR addresses that crowd. Its the engine that has to woo you and this one doesn’t
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 ?
@@harihhs5520to be honest it vibrates, but not to the level of concern, it is purely based on your previous bike you owned, if you ride a smooth bike back to back you will notice, or else you just enjoy it. the vibration disappears at 90+ and the bike feels more confident at triple digits, ride modes also changes the vibration levels, feels smoother in sport and track mode
Bro, I am really interested in buying the Duke 250 not trolling you but I have a serious concern. have you ever been called Chapri because you own this bike or other people of your age considered you some lowkie asshole . I nean what the peers call think about duke. Bro, are you understanding what i am trying to say..😅
PD team, i am planning to buy 390, heard a lot about vibrations, which has more ? And looking for a touring but not much long just a 250 to 300km max which one should i prefer ? Thanks in advance 👍

No one is going to buy the stock rtr 310 and the tvs with dyn and dyn pro packs hugs the duke 390 price point... and becomes an apples to apples comparison... the 250 duke is just a nothing phone 2a in a classroom of flagships
@@powerdriftofficial may be good for the price but not a compelling option for the people targetting the rtr310. I personally would have loved the feature set of the rtr on the rr… ntl the 250 deserved the electronics that 390 got.
Sir I wanted to ask something like how can we get a internship in your place?......... And how to land in a company of motorcycles and test them like the spied shots we see of the riders who are testing😅 ?
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!
@@powerdriftofficial oops I forgot they're Honda 😅. Still if it is possible to somehow review that motorcycle in your channel that would be awesome. I feel like it's underrated.
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.

Congratulations
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
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.
We aren't ignoring it. Honda does not have one in their media fleet
Its hard to see a rtr 310 in Indian roads right???.. There you get the clearcut answer for them...
i have seen one only in hyderabad & one more in pune that's it. i bought the duke and I've seen it multiple times in both cities. i feel bad for tvs as it is a decent bike.
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.
Rear bigger?
@@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
Yeah the rear sprocket is 46 teeth for RTR 310 and 42 for RR310
Changing into RR310 sprocket doesn't make RTR310 go faster bro we tried it 😁🤣 (RR310 owner )
Not with base model it's with fury yellow which is priced at 3.1 lakh on road

Sounds good!
@@powerdriftofficial thanks will be waiting!!
Your forgot to mention cruise control and riding modes in the rtr 310
At 240800 i think cb300r is also comparable, and people who doesnt care about features would also consider cb300r since it is Honda
But no media unit bruhhh! How do we test it
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..
