EICMA 2025 Teasers for the Adventure (ADV) and dual-sport motorcycle segment

Kawasaki KLE 500: This is one of the most anticipated reveals. Kawasaki is reviving the KLE nameplate with a new middleweight adventure bike. Engine: Expected to use the 451cc parallel-twin engine from the Ninja 500, tuned for adventure use (around 45 hp). Features: Teasers hint at a more off-road focused machine than the Versys, with a 21-inch front spoke wheel, USD forks, and rally-inspired styling. Competition: It's positioned to rival the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, Honda NX500, and the upcoming BMW F 450 GS.

BMW F 450 GS (Production Version): After being shown in concept form at EICMA 2024, the production-ready version of this mid-capacity ADV is highly expected. Platform: It is reportedly part of the partnership between BMW and TVS, which will manufacture the bike. Specs: Anticipated to be powered by a new 450cc parallel-twin engine with about 48 hp, featuring a focus on light weight (around 175kg) for the segment.

TVS 450 Adventure Bike: TVS has officially teased a new adventure model likely built on the BMW 450cc platform. Expectations: It's projected to be a premium offering, potentially sharing the engine core with the BMW F 450 GS but with distinct TVS styling and features, targeting the same competitive sub-500cc ADV space.

Royal Enfield Himalayan 750: There is strong speculation that Royal Enfield will finally unveil the production version of a larger Himalayan model. Engine: Expected to be powered by a new 750cc parallel-twin engine, evolving from the existing 648cc twin. Features: Spy shots suggest an ADV bike with dual disc brakes, modern features like a TFT dash, and both spoke and alloy wheel options.

Hero Xpulse 421: Following a teaser at the previous EICMA, Hero MotoCorp is expected to globally unveil its new flagship adventure motorcycle. Engine: A new 421cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine is anticipated, with power in the 35-40 hp range. Focus: A more premium and performance-oriented offering compared to the Xpulse 200, featuring USD forks and a 21-inch front wheel.

Norton Middleweight Adventure Bike: Norton, under TVS ownership, has announced it will unveil four new motorcycles, one of which is confirmed to be a twin-cylinder adventure motorcycle in the middleweight class (likely 600cc-800cc), marking their entry into this booming segment.

CFMoto 1000 MT-X: Rumors point to CFMoto entering the big-bore adventure segment with a new 1000cc three-cylinder model, positioning it against the larger ADVs from BMW and Honda.

Yamaha Ténéré 700 World Raid 2026: While not a new model, Yamaha is expected to showcase the updated 2026 version with new features like lighter twin 23-liter aluminum side tanks, revised ergonomics, and new electronic aids like a 6-axis IMU with lean-sensitive traction control, slide control, and ABS.
