A new adventure bike reportedly under development at India's Bajaj is said to be likely to feature a 250cc engine.

Even at just the spy-shot stage, I'm already leaning forward for Bajaj's new 250cc ADV. How they tune an engine honed on the Pulsar for adventure use is fun just to imagine. With clear rivals like the Xpulse and KLX230 out there, the spec work is bound to get serious. Once follow-up reports reveal the engine layout and weight, I want to read every detail.

Depends on the price, but Bajaj is fundamentally a value-for-money brawler, so I'm hopeful.

Rare to see Bajaj go all-in on adventure — they've leaned utility-focused up to now.

More options in India's small-displacement adventure-bike war is simply a good thing.

At 250cc, that's a step above the Xpulse210 — curious how they'll position it against it.

Differentiating by price bracket rather than displacement feels more like Bajaj's typical playbook.

It's only been reported, not confirmed yet, so taking it with a grain of salt until the official announcement.

Leak-stage articles are business as usual, but they're right often enough that you can't underestimate Bajaj.

Naming both the Xpulse 210 and KLX230 as direct rivals shows just how serious Bajaj is about this.
