From TVS Apache RTX 300 To Hero Xpulse 210 — 5 Affordable ADV Bikes In India
If you are looking to scratch the adventure-bike itch without breaking the bank, there are several models now priced more accessibly in India. These bikes blend street-and-trail flexibility, upright ergonomics, and usable hardware, catering to everyday commuting and weekend escapes alike. Below are five adventure-touring bikes with sub-Rs 3 lakh tags (ex-showroom). For each one, we will cover pricing, base features and what stands out, enabling a sharper decision when stepping off the beaten track.
Hero Xpulse 210 (Rs 1.62 Lakh, Ex-Showroom)
The Xpulse 210 is the most affordable entry into the ADV-style category here. At Rs 1.62 lakh ex-showroom, it pairs a 210cc engine with long-travel suspension and dual-sport tyres. The light weight and single-cylinder motor make it easy to manoeuver both in traffic and rougher surfaces. It is designed for riders who prefer simplicity, low running cost and some off-road capability on weekends.
TVS Apache RTX 300 (Rs 1.99 Lakh, Ex-Showroom)
With an introductory price of Rs 1.99 lakh (ex-showroom), the Apache RTX 300 brings a leap up in engine size and specification. Equipped with a 299cc liquid-cooled motor producing 35.5 hp and 28.5 Nm of torque, it rides on a trellis frame and offers a six-speed gearbox. The build, hardware and intent are closer to true adventure touring, while still maintaining affordability in the segment.
Yezdi Adventure (Rs 1.98 Lakh, Ex-Showroom)
Retailing for Rs 1.98 lakh (ex-showroom), the Yezdi Adventure offers an approachable package with an upright stance, comfortable ergonomics and a 334cc engine. Though its price sometimes trends higher in different cities, it remains a value pick when it comes to feature-set and brand appeal in the entry-level ADV space.
Suzuki V-Strom SX (Rs 1.98 Lakh, Ex-Showroom)
While priced closer to Rs 2 lakh, the V-Strom SX enters the adventure market with credible credentials and a brand pedigree. Its V-strom name carries touring heritage, and you get a refined engine, decent suspension, and a more highway-capable chassis than many competitors in this price range.
KTM 250 Adventure (Rs 2.40 Lakh, Ex-Showroom)
At Rs 2.40 lakh (ex-showroom), the KTM 250 Adventure represents the upper bound in this list but still remains among the lowest priced machines to deliver full-size trail-ready hardware. A 249cc LC4-derived engine, WP-APEX suspension, off-road ABS, and full TFT display set it apart. If your travel ambitions go further than city limits, this one delivers serious specification for the price.
