Inspired
by the race proven frame of the Dakar Racer - the KTM 450 RALLY, the KTM 250
Adventure features an ultra-lightweight, yet extremely stable trellis frame
with a bolt on sub-frame which exceeds all requirements for stability and
controllability and is the backbone of this nimble adventurer.
A
ground clearance of 200mm along with segment leading suspension travel of 170mm
on the front and 177mm on the rear makes the KTM 250 Adventure willing to take
on any terrain, no holds barred.
The
forgiving balance of flex and stiffness, combined with a wheelbase of 1430
(+/-15.5 mm) and a 26.5o steering rake angle, clearly suggest an off-road
oriented layout. It is also the basis of the KTM 250 Adventure’s outstanding
straight-line stability and precise and agile steering behavior.
With
many years of development on the toughest terrain, the KTM 250 Adventure draws
on the WP APEX suspension in the front and rear. They work together perfectly
with the chassis to provide the clearance, control, and confidence to venture
down more challenging terrain where the roads end.
The
rider seat is narrow in the front making it easier to reach the ground while
providing tested mix of grip and easy movement. The high-end, tapered steel
handlebar provides maximum control while ensuring a comfortable riding
position. The KTM 250 Adventure’s windshield is an efficient deflector which
can be mounted in a lower or higher position to suit the rider’s size or needs.
The wide and robust foot pegs come directly from the off-road models.
The
KTM 250 Adventure features a powerful, 248 cc state-of-the-art DOHC four-valve
single cylinder liquid cooled engine. The power delivery is smooth and
confidence-inspiring throughout the powerband which is also sprightly and fun
when pushed more. The BOSCH electronic fuel injection in conjunction with a
DELL’ORTO 38 mm throttle body system guarantees perfect throttle response while
delivering 30 PS (22 kW) power and 24 Nm torque. The technologically advanced
Power Assist Slipper Clutch (PASC) combined with the 6-speed gearbox allows for
smooth and jerk free shifting by controlling engine braking and rear wheel
chatter. The KTM 250 Adventure can be ridden hard or caressed to speed over
long distances.
