Top 3 Budget Adventure Bikes Under Rs 2.5 Lakh in India : If it be adventure biking, then long off-road trails and trips to faraway places, respecting the term adventure biking, might offer something for such bikers. A layperson would think it taxing on the wallet, yet by 2025, there will be some cool adventure motorcycles in India that are rugged enough to withstand an off-road slush and laid-back when it comes to comfort, making sure they don’t go burning a hole in your pocket like most. Under ₹2.5 lakh, these three top contenders can promise real adventure riding at decent pricing.
Hero Xpulse 200 4V
Hero Xpulse 200 4V is one of the best-selling entry-level adventure motorcycles in India, and for a good reason. It costs approximately ₹1.45 lakh (ex-showroom); when you analyze the performance it offers, I must say this is a good bargain.
Its 199.6cc oil-cooled engine with a 5-speed gearbox produces about 19.1 bhp. To top off its specifications, it has exceptional ground clearance, long travel suspension, and dual-purpose tires designed to light off-roading experiences while on long, comfortable tours. The motorcycle comes with a digital instrument console, smartphone connectivity, and turn-by-turn navigation.
Suzuki V Strom SX
The Suzuki V-Strom SX is for the highway rider fused with some rugged adventure capabilities. Priced at around INR 2.13 lakh, this 249cc oil-cooled 26.5 bph engine rests below.
The bike basically borrows most of its components from the Gixxer 250 platform but gains an upright riding position, windscreen and semi-knobby tires. It is more a touring bike but will be fine on light off-road trails. Solid build quality and refined performance make this bike a very strong competitor in this category.
Yezdi Adventure
Another such adventure touring motorcycle under ₹2.16 lakh is the Yezdi Adventure. It is powered by a 334cc engine putting out 29.8 bhp and loaded with features such as full-LED lighting, USB charging, and turn-by-turn navigation.
The rugged design, high seat height, and generous suspension travel are all set for hard terrain riding. It is, however, slightly heavier than the others but maintains true adventure bike looks.
