The adventure touring segment is heating up in 2025 with two promising contenders – the updated Yezdi Adventure and the latest KTM 390 Adventure. Both bikes cater to riders seeking off-road capability with everyday practicality, though they adopt distinct approaches in performance, features, and design. The 2025 Yezdi Adventure receives a series of updates, including new features and subtle styling tweaks aimed at improving long-distance comfort. Meanwhile, the 2025 KTM 390 Adventure continues to evolve as a tech-forward, performance-focused ADV, offering upgraded electronics, refined suspension, and a proven engine platform. In this spec comparison, we break down how these two adventure machines stack up on paper and explore what’s new for the latest model year.
The 2025 Yezdi Adventure continues to use the familiar 334cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine, producing 29.2bhp and 29.8Nm of torque. It comes paired with a six-speed transmission and features an assist and slipper clutch for smoother gear shifts.

Coming to the KTM model, it employs a 399cc single-cylinder unit, which churns out 45.37bhp of maximum power and 39Nm of peak torque. The bike also comes equipped with a six-speed transmission, a slipper assist clutch, and adjustable suspension.
The 2025 Yezdi Adventure showcases a thoroughly reworked aesthetic, most notably marked by the introduction of an off-centre LED headlamp that replaces the traditional circular design. Up front, a taller, rally-inspired beak lends a more rugged profile, while the now-adjustable windscreen offers greater adaptability for varying terrains and rider preferences. Additional design revisions include a sturdier underbody bash plate for added protection, upgraded seat foam for improved long-distance support, and a sharper tail section finished with slim, dual-LED lighting elements that enhance its modern appeal.
Meanwhile, the KTM 390 Adventure continues to lean heavily into its aggressive, rally-bred styling. Its enlarged 14.5-litre fuel tank, angular bodywork, and prominent windscreen suggest serious touring intent.
The Yezdi Adventure is underpinned by a heavy-duty steel structure, engineered to withstand challenging terrain. Suspension duties are handled by a 41mm telescopic fork at the front and a monoshock at the rear that allows seven levels of preload tuning for load adaptability. It rolls on wire-spoke rims – 21 inches in the front and 17 inches at the rear – supported by a 320mm front disc and a 240mm rear disc for braking confidence.

The 390 Adventure, on the other hand, is equipped with adjustable upside-down forks at the front and a rear monoshock, complemented by disc brakes at both ends. It runs on a 21-inch front wheel and a 17-inch rear. In comparison, the Adventure X version opts for a slightly different setup, featuring a 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheel configuration.
Tech-wise, the bike brings a balanced suite of electronic aids, including traction control and a triple-mode ABS tailored for road, rain, and off-road usage. The instrument panel houses dual circular LCD displays set within a rectangular module, offering key ride insights. Bluetooth integration enables navigation when connected to a smartphone, while a USB charging socket adds touring convenience.
