1. Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 – Upcoming ADV In 2026

Showcased at EICMA 2025 and the Motoverse 2025, the Himalayan 750 is one of the most-awaited launches. And we believe that Royal Enfield might launch the mighty ADV this year. At EICMA, the Himalayan 750 was showcased in a box, with “work in progress” barrier tapes. Even though RE claims it is still under development, it looked production-ready. So, it is safe to say that the Himalayan 750 could be introduced this year.

We expect RE to offer the Himalayan 750 in 2 variants, a road-biased version and an off-road-focused version. In terms of features, the Himalayan 750 will get dual-disc brakes upfront, switchable dual-channel ABS, adjustable front USD forks, cruise control, and much more. While the details of the engine are still under wraps, the 750cc parallel twin will likely make around 55-60bhp and 65Nm of torque along with a 6-speed gearbox. RE being RE could launch this price at an aggressive price tag – anywhere between Rs 5 Lakh and Rs 5.60 Lakh (on-road, Mumbai).

2. KTM 350 Adventure

KTM will likely be reducing the size of its 399cc engine found in the Adventure 390, down to 350cc, to avail the benefits of the GST 2.0 norms. So, we can expect to see a KTM 350 Adventure, which will likely replace the existing 390 Adventure S and X models. We could expect KTM to launch the 350 Adventure by mid-2026. With the GST 2.0 benefits, KTM could also price the ADV more aggressively – anywhere around Rs 3.50 Lakh (on-road, Mumbai). It is likely that the bike will retain all the features like switchable ABS, traction control, tubeless spoke wheels, cruise control, cornering ABS, a bi-directional quickshifter, adjustable suspension and the list goes on. The new 350cc engine could produce around 39bhp and 36Nm of torque.

3. Triumph Scrambler 350X – Upcoming ADV In 2026

Much like the KTMs, Triumph will also be downsizing its engine to gain the benefits of the GST 2.0 norms. So, the Scrambler 400X might just become the Scrambler 350X. Triumph will likely downsize the same 398cc engine to 350cc, which could make 34bhp and 35Nm of torque after the modification. The feature list will likely remain unchanged, which will make the ADV more value for money. From the GST 2.0 benefits on the new 350cc, we could expect Triumph to price the Scrambler 350X aggressively around Rs 3 lakh (on-road, Mumbai), down from Rs 3.60 lakh (on-road, Mumbai).

4. BMW F 450 GS 

Another much-awaited ADV in India is none other than the BMW F 450 GS. Co-developed with TVS, the F 450 GS will be a great ADV in India, especially for someone trying to step up from a smaller bike. It is highly likely that the F 450 GS will be launched in the first half of 2026. BMW unveiled the bike at EICMA 2025, and the production-ready version looks very purposeful. The knobby tyres, the long beak, the upswept exhaust, and the single-piece seat add to the adventure charm of the bike. The bike will be powered by a 450cc twin-cylinder 48bhp and 43Nm of torque. BMW may offer features like adjustable suspension, switchable ABS, traction control, a 6.5-inch TFT screen and much more. We expect the model to be priced around Rs 5.5 lakh (on-road, Mumbai).

5. TVS 450 ADV – Upcoming ADV In 2026

As BMW and TVS are working together on the F 450 GS, it is safe to say that TVS will also offer its own version of it. After witnessing a massive demand for the RTX 300, TVS knows that the Indian buyers want ADVs and what better than a 450cc twin-cylinder ADV, right? It is possible that TVS could launch their very own RTX 450, which will share most components with the F 450 GS. It is safe to say that the TVS ADV could borrow most design cues from the RTX 300. The TVS ADV will also get features like adjustable suspension, switchable ABS, traction control, a 6.5-inch TFT screen and much more. We expect the model to be priced around Rs 5 lakh (on-road, Mumbai).

So, which of these ADVs would you buy?
