BMW Motorrad has introduced its middle-weight adventure tourer, the G 450 S, in the Indian market, starting at ₹4.70 lakh (approximately $5,700 USD). This model competes with the KTM 390 Adventure S, which is priced lower at ₹3.96 lakh (around $4,800 USD). The BMW F 450 GS is powered by a 420 cc twin-cylinder engine that produces 48 hp and 43 Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed gearbox. In contrast, the KTM's 398 cc single-cylinder engine generates 46 hp and 39 Nm. The BMW also boasts a weight advantage at 178 kg, making it easier to handle compared to the 182 kg KTM. Additionally, the BMW features an easy ride clutch, simplifying low-speed maneuvers. However, the KTM has larger 21-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels, which enhance its off-road capabilities. The price difference of approximately ₹73,000 (around $880 USD) gives the KTM a competitive edge in affordability.
