Bajaj putting out an adventure bike descended from the KTM 390 Enduro genuinely gets me fired up. A middleweight capable of serious dirt riding, and potentially at Indian pricing too. Not a pavement-only faux-ADV, but with genuine enduro blood in it — that would be amazing. Sounds like a bike I'd want to throw around on weekends.

Another article mentioned a 250cc adventure bike too — is that a separate model from this one?

Different displacement suggests it's likely a separate line — Bajaj seems to be running several projects at once.

It's reported as close to production, but no official spec or price yet, so I'll keep my expectations in check.

Having reached the production-prep stage makes a launch within the year seem pretty much certain.

Bajaj's strength is being able to bring the tech honed through its KTM partnership down to this price bracket.

A silhouette inherited from the KTM 390 Enduro suggests Bajaj's adventure bike leans genuinely off-road too.
