device

The Royal Enfield Himalayan gets the largest displacement engine in this comparison but makes the least amount of power. The Benelli TRK 251 motor is the next most powerful engine here, while the 249 cc mil from KTM and 334 cc mil from Yezdi Adventure are identical in terms of power output. Power also kicks in at 6,500 rpm on the first Himalayan while peak power comes in at 8,000 rpm on the Yezdi. Both KTM and Benelli are high-speed engines with power above 9,000 rpm.

Torque output is highest on the Himalaya at 32 Nm, followed by Yezdi, 250 Adventure and TRK 251. The latter makes 10 nm less than the Himalayas. Note that the Himalayan runs on an oil-cooled set-up, while all other motorcycles here get liquid-cooling. All bikes here use a 6-speed gearbox but only the Himalayan is offered to opt for a 5-speed unit.

The Yezdi Adventure manages a decent power to weight ratio with a curb weight of 188kg, which is almost 11kg lighter than the Himalayan’s 199kg. The KTM 250 Adventure is a very light motorcycle weighing 177 kg. Benelli has not shared the curb weight on the TRK 251, but the bike has a dry weight of 164 kg, which would make it heavier than the KTM with fuel and oil.

Suspension and Ground Clearance

Both the Yezdi Adventure and the Royal Enfield Himalayan get telescopic front forks with 200 mm of travel and a monoshock at the rear with 180 mm of travel. The KTM Adventure gets more refined USD front forks from the WP with 170mm of travel, while the rear gets a monoshock with 177mm of travel. The Benelli TRK 251 gets a minimalist adventure-spec suspension, with its telescopic forks offering 135 mm of travel, while the rear monoshock comes with 51 mm of travel.

With regards to braking, all the four motorcycles get dual-channel ABS with disc brakes at either end. Except for the Benelli, all three bikes get switchable ABS that locks the rear wheel. The Yezdi, however, offers three ABS modes – road, off-road and rain. In terms of ground clearance, the Yezdi and Royal Enfield offerings are evenly matched at 220mm, KTM at 200mm and then Benelli at 170mm.

bicycle parts

The Yezdi Adventure and Royal Enfield Himalayan get 21-inch front and 17-inch rear spoke wheels. However these are not tubeless tyres. In contrast, the Benelli TRK 251 and KTM 250 Adventure get alloy wheels paired with tubeless tyres. The KTM’s 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheel set-up works well for light off-roading, while the TRK 251 is more road-biased with 17-inch wheels.

Benelli is also a more touring friendly motorcycle with a fuel tank capacity of 18 liters. Yezdi ADV comes second with 15.5-litre fuel tank while RE Himalayan comes at third position with 15-litre capacity. The lowest capacity found here is 14.5L for KTM 250 Adventure.

The Benelli TRK 251 is designed for greater touring capability and sports an 18-litre fuel tank, which is the largest in this comparison.

seat height

RE Himalayan and Benelli TRK 251 have the lowest seat height of 800 mm, followed by Yezdi Adventure at 815 mm. The KTM 250 ADV is the tallest here at 855 mm.

instrument console

On the feature front, Yezdi Adventure’s tilt-adjustable digital console certainly seems to be more loaded than most of the other offerings here. It also comes with Bluetooth connectivity along with turn-by-turn navigation via Yezdi app. In comparison, the Himalayan gets an analog unit but comes with tripper pod navigation which also brings turn-by-turn navigation. Both KTM and Benelli offer digital consoles but miss out on navigation in any form.
