- KTM's baby adventure is here and aims to take the fight to the Royal Enfield Himalayan as an easy to ride, all round package targeted towards enthusiasts who love touring and are new to offroad. But can it deliver? Sarge hops to find out in the first ride review.

In my opinion Sarge is currently the most genuine and creative reviewer amidst all the chaos in Indian UA-cam's motorcycling world. Hope you keep dropping such amazing content and reach great heights because you and your team are the most deserving of everyone here.
Cheers!

@@SagarSheldekarOfficial of course brother 😁✌️
Your review of Duke 200 was the reason I bought it back in 2012 .
Now I am planning to buy this . So thanx a lot . Keep up the good work !
Happy to help.
It’s special when sarge drops 2 reviews of off-roading bikes in a week! Bike had lot of potent it seems if one can pull the right amount of juices out of it. For beginners a good start with touring and off-roading capabilities. The location chosen is spot on, love the drone captures. 10/10 review as usual.

Bought it on the launch day because I needed a bike with good ground clearance. Only the bikes from adv segment provide this. Himalayan's value for money drops in long run due to expensive service costs. Thanks to Bajaj, KTM could keep that in check. Got a bill of 1500rs for 1st service.
I was looking for a bike which would stand out of the lot and trust me people ask about this bike because there are a lot of Himalayans already. Only very few people know about KTM's adventure.
Me, being 5'11'' absolutely enjoy the tall seat on this. Also, let's me brag about it a bit. Gives you a bossy feeling on road.
Absolutely right about the vibes creeping in around 110kmph. But, I still feel this is one of the, if not the most refined engines from KTM.
I would've really loved more low end torque because it helps in the city and whenever you just wanna enjoy the ride on 2nd 3rd gear.
I did consider 390 but the frequent complaints of my friend's ride by wire failure and electronics failures on 390 adventure pulled me away from those electronics.
I ain't justifying my buying option, just putting it out there so that everyone knows what they're getting into.
Same thought here.. Mine will get delivered on this Thursday

Karthik
@@drrashmis9162 250 Duke owner...i guess we are brethrens...one thing we both will agree, this 250 c.c motor is a screamer....past 6000 rpm this one's got a ballistic top end....it's all about the top end....
@@AniketSen thanks for highlighting Ankit.. I'm relieved.. Regards, karthik
People all over the world fix their own bikes. Most indians cant even change their oil lol. Cheap labour made everyone lazy.
Got mine after the price revision. On road 2.56 l. It's a gem
Can't stop myself from appreciating the beautiful cinematography and an awesome feel of riding the bike.
you don't just review Sarge you live up to the promise of "LIVING IT UP".

Shumi reviews every bike from a sports bike perspective
Let's not make comparisons bro, no doubt this video is great but I love shumi for how he simplifies and explains the most difficult technical stuff even a child can understand. Sagar does a great job, so does Shumi, no need to pull someone else down to promote your favourite.
No way shumi woomi is even close to him. It would be an insult to Sarge even if we utter that shumi woomi name in comparison to him he is not apple orange he is not even nuts
Just when i thought the world has ended I finally got Sagar's review video for 250 adv. Cuz i am getting this bike on coming Thursday. So wanted a perfect ride review from experts. Salute to u maga.

Pleasant review. Like I was watching a movie in theatre. Kudos!
Glad you enjoyed it mate. Hope you have subscribed
For 56k more 390 adventure gives way more stuff. This one seems overpriced by at least 20-25k
It does but is also can be intimidating for people new to offroad
In kerala adv 250 on road cost 3.18 and 390 adv cost 3.92
@@nandupajith1049 yeah even in Bangalore 250adv is 3.13 and 390adv is 3.97L. By 56k i meant ex-showroom price difference
I totally agree with you Soumen Das.... Seriously, it doesn't make any sense to spend that much money on 250adv rather than better to opt for 390 ...
Apart from other major difference which was mentioned by Sagar Sheldekar... There is one more major difference i.e Tyres --390 gets metzeler whereas 250 mostly MRF
@@ashishrathi99 yeah he did mention that. Infact due to import restrictions now even 390 adventure comes with MRFs

If they have put their 200cc engine in this chasis it would have taken this bike to next level in off road riding.I don't know why KTM didn't bother giving their adventure bikes more low end torque.As always Sagar bhai, shared your video and liked it.♥️
Who else isnt a big fan of your presentation?

A great review! Only if KTM could get its quality alright. I own the 390 Adventure and am being taken for an another Adventure since past 6 months. Faced the battery issues thrice after which the bike fails to crank. Once leaving me stranded on the road. Not to forget fork oils leaking. Not that I ride offroad trails like Sarge just did. Just our normal Mumbai roads (Though at times the roads can beat the trails for their quality). Inshort a nightmarish experience. But yeah.. Leaving that aside, the bike is excellent to ride on.
Hope they are looking into these issues
Yes sir. Hoping for the best! Happy riding!
Hey could you update if your problems were fixed ?
This guy made me and a few hundred others buy the Versys 650! Start asking for commissions, Sarge! 😁

I don't come here for just bike reviews but also for, to see how Sagar dada speakes his punch lines with sheer confidence. How he throws the magic gliter over his viewers with the showmanship n as always the spectacular location he chooses for his videos is always there...on a random meet(if it happens) with Sagar dada, I will easily mistake him for a P.hd in English literature for the way he comes up all the perfect words n form a sentence 😁😁

What is this with KTM and no low end!!!
Again the location was spot on..
Same engine from the Duke
@@SagarSheldekarOfficial i have a 250 duke...the low is end as such....that even an MT15 can keep up.....past that...this is a joy to ride....once you race past 6000 rpm, this motor is an absolute screamer.....in short, an ok-ish low end, a good mid range and a ballistic top end....
Sagar bro... happy to you see u again..I asked to power drif whr u r..hope u r doing well and healthy..just only know u got official channel..

@@SagarSheldekarOfficial will surely do👍 all the best
Feels like a niche product for a very select and discerning segment. Touring and off-roading in those remote regions worth exploring, its the Xpulse I'd trust (with the Rally pack of course!). Easier to make cheap running repairs on the fly which the terrain will no doubt force on the adventurer.
Great review as always Sarge! A visual treat with such richly flavoured content!
It is pricey but a lot of fun. Himalayan or the xpulse definitely more capable and frugal to chase roads less travelled
So far the best video everything well put.

It was really useful review, which eventually helped me to decide what to do next...
Happy to help.
It was such a great video! Super well explained and beautifully created!
I just got mine a couple of days ago. It's my first motorcycle and I love it. It's beautiful, it feels premium and secure. But it's also a little hard to ride for me. I'm 1m78 and it feels really high, and also I keep stalling. Don't know if it's just cuz I'm inexperienced. I hope I'll get used to it cuz I want to enjoy it as much as possible.
What do you think is the proper shifting speed or RPM?
Congrats on your purchase. You will need to keep the revs high to prevent the stalling. The height you will get used to after you get the hang of the bike. Shift where the bike makes Max power
@@SagarSheldekarOfficial ❤️
Sagar really nice video. Good to see b2b videos. I still can see 8 dislikes. One of them must be powerdrift.

Sir I am huge fan of you I started loving bikes by watching your videos in powerdrift at that time I was studying in 9 th STD I still remember your ducati panigale video ..now I am thinking of buying a motorcycle I am 168 cm can I be comfortable with this
Take it for a spin and see how you feel
@@SagarSheldekarOfficial ❤️❤️❤️
Sagar bhai I like your style and your different bikes reviews.
Awesome visuals and your views buddy! KTM 390 adv is full electronics and it controls you. but 250adv is just what we wanted a proper adv without electronics with which just a switchable off road that makes sense to me. Add on some extra auxiliary lights, Metzeler tyres and luggage system for the 50k you are saving for not going 390 adv.
The only thing lacking is the engine
The only thing lacking is the engine
Sagar bhai ka awesome style,best laugh & the most perfect refreshing perspective which is a balm to all who encounter it.
Everything would be better if more people were like you.....!

Awesome review as always sarge
Himalayan still seems a more comforting pick.. or you feel the reliability factor inclines in favour of the Adv 250???
Personally I would pick the 390 adv if you are more inclined to tour
@@SagarSheldekarOfficialFair enough..
Sarge.. why not a review on the new Mojo BS6 Version?? I really want to see you reviewing it.. I guess it too should get a chance.. ;) A request from your fan. As always liked and shared.. It was just like watching a short movie.. 😍

For 54K more you get the Adventure 390 with more power, traction control, riding modes, quick shifter, cornering ABS, that tasty TFT display.. sounds like a no brainer.
Agreed.
Should i buy dominar 250 or this .
For occasional trips with slight offroading. And 70% city.
Great and clear explaination bro.

Considering the current prices where 250 adv is just around 25k more expensive than Himalayan, can we consider it?
And I've seen that 250 adv's suspension is quite stiff. Will adjusting it to a softer preload by 2 points helps to improve ride quality?
Yes
Sarge great review.
Looking forward for more ❤️.

Hey Sarge, I was initially actually planning to buy sports bike but then moved on to ADV's after riding the V-Strom 250. I wanted to ask what would your suggestion be between V-Strom 250 vs KTM ADV 250. I'm 5 11'' so both bikes are pretty comfortable for me.
Very detailed Review Sir. Very beautiful location in the baground 🤩. I am always waiting for your bike reviews. If possible please review motorbikes on the regular basis . Thumbs up Sir 👍
