The Indian two-wheeler market is seeing a strong rise in demand for adventure motorcycles. These bikes are designed to handle both urban commutes and rugged terrains, making them perfect for riders who love long journeys and off-road challenges. In 2025, several major manufacturers are preparing to launch new adventure bikes in India. Here are the top 5 most anticipated models to look forward to.
TVS RTX 300
TVS Motor Company is stepping into the adventure bike space with the upcoming RTX 300. Expected to launch around September 2025, this motorcycle will be powered by a 299cc liquid-cooled engine producing around 35 bhp and 28.5 Nm of torque. The design includes features like an upswept exhaust, tall windscreen, split-seat, and all-LED lighting. It will ride on 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels, which suggests it’s built for mixed-terrain use.
BMW F 450 GS
BMW Motorrad is preparing to enter the middle-weight ADV category with the F 450 GS, which was first showcased at EICMA 2024 and later at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025. The bike is expected to launch by the end of 2025. Key design elements include a single-unit headlamp, beak-style front fender, alloy wheels, and knuckle guards. It’s likely to come with a newly developed twin-cylinder engine that delivers close to 48 bhp.
Royal Enfield Himalayan 750
After the success of the Himalayan 450, Royal Enfield is now working on a bigger sibling – the Himalayan 750. Spy shots suggest that this bike will feature wire-spoke wheels, twin disc brakes at the front, and a mono-shock rear suspension with linkage. The all-new 750cc engine is expected to produce over 50 bhp and 60 Nm of torque. The launch is likely to happen by late 2025, offering more power for serious adventure riders.

KTM 390 SMC R
KTM’s upcoming 390 SMC R will appeal to riders who prefer a more supermoto-style ADV. This bike will use the familiar 399cc liquid-cooled engine that powers the latest Duke 390 and Adventure 390. It will produce 45.3 bhp and 39 Nm of torque. Equipped with wire-spoke wheels, tubeless tyres, and long-travel suspension, the 390 SMC R is built for agility and off-road fun. A launch is expected in the coming months.
CFMoto 450MT
CFMoto is planning to bring the 450MT to India via the CKD (completely knocked down) route, likely within this year. The 450MT will be a competitive option in the mid-weight adventure bike segment. It features 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels, with around 200mm of suspension travel, offering solid off-road capability. The bike also comes with a low seat height of 800mm, making it easier for a wide range of riders to handle.
Conclusion
The adventure motorcycle segment in India is expanding rapidly, with major manufacturers introducing new models that cater to both enthusiasts and everyday riders. Whether you’re looking for a powerful machine like the Himalayan 750 or a lightweight performer like the TVS RTX 300, 2025 promises to be an exciting year for ADV bike lovers in the country.
