The engine is paired with a new 6-speed transmission that improves highway performance and makes daily driving more enjoyable.

The suspension is provided by telescopic front forks with 210 mm of travel and a rear monoshock with 205 mm of travel. The discs at both ends provide the braking power, which is backed by a two-channel ABS system. The XPulse 210 is equipped with tube-type, block-pattern tires mounted on 21-inch front and 18-inch rear spoke wheels.

The Xpulse 210 has a new 4.2-inch TFT instrument cluster that integrates with your smartphone to provide turn-by-turn navigation, call and SMS notifications, and LED lighting throughout the lineup.

The improved model of the brand's entry-level adventure tourer is known as the Yezdi Adventure 2025.

The digital cluster, which still supports Bluetooth connection, has been kept from the previous model. The ADV has new colors, a traction control system, and switchable dual-channel ABS as part of the MY25 upgrade.

The 334 cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled Alpha2 engine, which is still the same, continues to power the Adventure 2025. It generates 29 horsepower of maximum power and 29.8 Newton meters of maximum torque, which is coupled to a six-speed manual gearbox.

Disc brakes handle the braking duties on both ends, while telescopic forks make up the front suspension system and a rear monoshock completes the rear.

3. Suzuki V-Strom SX:

The Suzuki V-Strom SX, which costs Rs 2.16 lac (ex-showroom), is the Japanese company's entry-level adventure tourer. The V-Strom 800DE is its little sibling, and it shares the same unique design elements. The 249cc single-cylinder, oil-cooled engine of the V-Strom SX produces its power. This device produces 25 horsepower at 9,300 rpm and 22 Nm of maximum torque at 7,300 rpm, all of which are transmitted via a six-speed transmission. The bike has a monoshock in the back with a 7-step adjustable preload and telescopic front forks. Dual-channel ABS backs up the disc brakes on both ends. The ADV is mounted on 19-inch front and 17-inch rear alloys with dual-purpose tires.

4. KTM 250 Adventure

As an improved iteration of the Austrian company's most inexpensive ADV, the KTM 250 Adventure 2025 has improvements in its chassis, performance, and aesthetics. The cost of the motorcycle is ₹2.60 lakh (ex-showroom), and it reflects KTM's new design ethos. In addition to a broader array of features, it has a semi-fairing with a high visor and an elegant tail section.

KTM has used an updated trellis frame with a lower seat height and increased suspension travel. The configuration consists of an off-set monoshock in the back with 205 mm of travel and WP Apex USD front forks with 200 mm of travel. The staggered position of the bike is caused by its 19-17 inch front-rear wheel arrangement.
