The TVS Apache RR 310 has been around for nine years now. While it maintains its original look and the BMW-derived 312cc reverse-inclined, single-cylinder engine, the bike has gone through several updates in these years to become better. But is it really good enough?

Triumph took an unexpected decision of downsizing its 400cc engine to 350cc (349cc to be precise), take the benefit of the lowered GST, and reduce the prices of its entire 400cc lineup as a result. As controversial as it may seem, building and selling motorcycles is about running a business as much as it is about passion, especially in the lower segments. This is our first-ride review of the updated Speed 400 with the new 349cc engine.

This is one of the most important comparisons in the small adventure-bike segment - the 2025 KTM 390 Adventure X against the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450. And though this is not the full-fledged KTM 390 Adventure (the one with spoke wheels and adjustable suspension), the 390 Adventure X will still very much do.
