Quick read:
-
The dual sport bike looks production-ready
-
Might feature Bajaj’s 250cc engine from the N series
-
The bike is expected to be launched later this year or early 2027
Bajaj’s dual-sport bike has been spied testing again. This time the new shots are clearer than the previous sightings of the motorcycle and reveal a lot more details.
The motorcycle has fuel tank extensions, a sideswept exhaust, and a high-mounted fender. Based on these observations, it appears to be a rival for the Kawasaki KLX 230 and the Hero Xpulse 210.
The bike gets a telescopic fork with fork gaiters. On the rear, it looks like it features a monoshock. The bike seems to be equipped with a 19-inch front and a 17-inch rear wheel – a setup that will give it road as well as off-road credentials.
Coming to the powerhouse, it seems to be a 249cc air and oil-cooled unit. It has an oil cooling radiator, similar to the one on the Pulsar N250, indicating it could be the same engine. It’s known for its low-end and mid-range performance, which would suit both, long-distance touring as well as off-road riding. Moreover, using this proven engine and part-sharing will help Bajaj keep costs in check.
Anticipated for a release in late 2026 or early 2027, the Bajaj ADV is expected to be priced around Rs 1.50 lakh (ex-showroom).This competitive pricing positions it as a compelling choice in the entry-level dual-purpose segment, particularly as rivals continue to price their offerings at a more significant premium.
