What Is the New Hyosung Twin‑Engine Adventure Bike?

Evok Nepal has quietly secured a batch of Hyosung’s latest 250 cc adventure‑oriented machine. While the company has not staged a formal press event, insiders confirm the bike will soon roll out of Kathmandu showrooms. The model is built around a twin‑engine architecture – a rarity in the 250 cc class, where single‑cylinders dominate.

The powerplant is a 248.2 cc liquid‑cooled unit with 8 valves, a SOHC head and EFI injection. Twin pistons fire at a high‑rev limit, delivering 25.5 PS at 9,500 rpm and a peak 20 Nm of torque at 7,000 rpm. That translates to a smooth, linear surge that feels more like a 300 cc bike than a typical 250.

That matters because riders in Nepal’s rugged hills often crave low‑end grunt for steep climbs and high‑rev pull for winding mountain passes. The twin‑cylinder layout promises less vibration and a more refined ride.

How Does the Twin‑Engine Change the Ride?

Twin‑cylinders cut engine vibration in half compared with a single‑cylinder counterpart. The result is a smoother throttle response and reduced rider fatigue on long off‑road treks. The 6‑speed gearbox is spaced to keep the engine in its sweet‑spot, whether you’re crawling up a steep trail or cruising on the highway.

The bike also sports dual‑disc brakes up front and a dual‑channel ABS system, giving confidence on slippery gravel. LED lighting—headlamp, tail‑lamp and turn signals—adds modern visibility without draining the battery.

A 7‑inch TFT digital display sits behind the handlebars, offering shift‑light, fuel gauge, trip meter and selectable riding modes. An adjustable windscreen and a vertical‑stacked LED headlamp complete the adventure‑ready package.

Which Specs Set It Apart in the 250 cc Segment?

Most 250 cc adventure bikes in Nepal, such as the KTM 250 Adventure and Honda CB250, rely on a single‑cylinder engine. Hyosung’s twin‑cylinder approach gives it a distinct character:

• Power: 25.5 PS vs. roughly 24 PS for rivals
• Torque: 20 Nm, a noticeable bump over single‑cylinders that sit around 18 Nm
• Vibration: Twin‑cylinder reduces primary balance forces, delivering a smoother feel
• Weight: Slightly higher dry weight, but offset by better balance and handling dynamics
• Price: Projected NPR 7.5 lakh, undercutting the KTM 250 Adventure which retails near NPR 9 lakh

The bike’s chassis features an upside‑down front fork, a monoshock rear, and a wire‑spoke wheel design that blends classic adventure aesthetics with modern functionality. Tubeless tires and a sturdy side‑box add practicality for long hauls.

When Will Nepali Riders See It on Showrooms?

Evok Nepal hints that the model will be officially unveiled “in a few weeks.” Industry chatter suggests a launch window in Q2 2026, likely aligned with the spring riding season. Pre‑orders may open shortly after the reveal, with first deliveries expected by June 2026.

Dealerships in Kathmandu, Pokhara, and Biratnagar have already received demo units for test‑rides. That rollout plan mirrors how other manufacturers stagger introductions across major Nepalese hubs.

What Does This Mean for the Nepalese Adventure Market?

Introducing a twin‑engine in the 250 cc class shakes up the competitive landscape. Riders now have a high‑rev, low‑vibration alternative that sits comfortably between the cheap commuter and the pricey 400‑cc adventure bikes.

If the NPR 7.5 lakh price holds, the bike could attract a new segment of enthusiasts who previously hesitated due to cost or vibration concerns. That could push rivals to revisit their own engine configurations or price structures.

The move also signals Hyosung’s commitment to the Nepalese market, a region where adventure touring is gaining momentum. Expect more dealer events, rider clubs, and possibly a factory‑supported rally series later this year.
