KTM 250 Adventure Low-Seat V Variant Launched at Rs 2.47 Lakh in India

The new low-seat V variant of the KTM 250 Adventure bike has been launched in the Indian market. Interestingly, it is priced the same as the standard model, which is Rs 2.47 lakh (ex-showroom). A similar treatment was meted out to the KTM 390 Adventure motorcycle when the bike maker launched the low-seat V trim of the 390 Adventure almost a month ago at Rs 3.38 lakh (ex-showroom). Coming to the KTM 250 Adventure now, the most affordable bike in the company's Indian line-up comes with a seat height of 855mm. And now, its new V variant is available with a relatively lower seat height of 834mm, making it easier for short riders to manage. This means that the riding ergonomics of the 250 Adventure V is more relaxed and better than the standard version.
