Morbidelli T250X Now Available in Nepal: Price and Features

After months of speculation, Morbidelli has officially launched the T250X in Nepal, marking the brand’s long-awaited debut in the country’s growing adventure motorcycle segment. Unveiled at the NAIMA Mobility Expo 2025, the T250X represents a bold mix of Italian design legacy and practical off-road capability, all wrapped in a highly competitive price tag.

KTM International Trading, the authorized distributor of Morbidelli in Nepal, introduced the T250X alongside its larger sibling, the T352X. While Morbidelli may be a new name for younger Nepali riders, the brand boasts a racing pedigree from the 1970s and a recent revival under the MBP (Moto Bologna Passione) banner, part of the Qianjiang Group, the same powerhouse behind Keeway and Benelli.

Price and Availability in Nepal

The Morbidelli T250X is priced at Rs. 5,75,000 in Nepal. With this aggressive pricing, it enters a competitive space populated by the Hero XPulse 210 and KTM 250 Adventure.

The bike is offered in a single variant and a single Storm Grey color option. Bookings are now open, with showroom availability expected to ramp up in the coming weeks, following some initial delays related to backend dealership management.

Design and Styling

The T250X borrows heavily from European adventure-bike aesthetics but tones it down just enough for real-world usability. At the front, the bike features a vertically stacked LED headlight with Morbidelli’s signature X-Stack DRLs, giving it a recognizable visual identity. Integrated knuckle guards on a wide handlebar setup hint at its off-road intentions.

The side profile is equally purposeful. It sports muscular tank extensions and a long, two-level single-piece seat, designed for both touring comfort and off-road mobility. A matte black upswept exhaust reinforces the adventure profile, while spoke wheels with dual-purpose Pirelli tyres highlight its mixed-terrain focus.

At the rear, things are clean and minimal. A slim LED taillight, a compact luggage rack, integrated grab handles, and sharp rear fenders complete the overall design language. It’s not overdesigned, it’s intentional and built for action.

Engine and Performance

Under the bodywork, the Morbidelli T250X is powered by a 249cc single-cylinder, 4-valve, air-cooled SOHC engine, producing 22.4 PS at 7,500 rpm and 22 Nm at 6,000 rpm. It’s paired with a 6-speed gearbox and comes with a respectable 11.7-liter fuel tank.

What sets the T250X apart is its carburetor engine, a surprising choice in 2025. While most of its rivals have transitioned to fuel-injection (FI), Morbidelli’s decision appears rooted in cost-saving and simplicity. Carbureted engines are easier to maintain and tune manually, which could be a real advantage in Nepal’s remote regions where FI servicing is still limited.

That said, this decision also means the T250X lacks modern ride-enhancing features like ride modes, traction control, or fuel efficiency optimization seen in FI-equipped rivals.

Top speed is rated at 115 km/h, and real-world mileage sits between 20–25 km/l depending on conditions and riding style.

Suspension and Handling

Built on a double-cradle frame, the T250X is suspended by 41 mm USD front forks with 177 mm of travel and a linkage-type monoshock at the rear with preload adjustment and 55 mm travel.

Ground clearance is rated at 220 mm, and the bike has a manageable seat height of 820 mm, making it accessible to a wide range of riders. With a kerb weight of 154 kg, it strikes a decent balance between trail-readiness and road manageability.

While the wheel setup is slightly more road-friendly with 19-inch front and 17-inch rear spoked wheels, the dual-purpose Pirelli tyres provide adequate bite for light to moderate off-roading.

Features and Technology

Despite being a value-oriented adventure bike, the Morbidelli T250X packs in several thoughtful features:

• 6.75-inch vertical TFT color display

• Full LED lighting system with DRLs

• Dual-channel ABS

• USB charging port

• Backlit handlebar controls

• Spoked wheels with tubeless-ready tyres

Notably, it misses out on smartphone connectivity and advanced rider aids, which are reserved for the bigger T352X or the international Pro variant of the T250X.

Market Position and Rivals

In Nepal, the Morbidelli T250X enters a hotly contested 250cc adventure segment, going head-to-head with rivals like the Hero XPulse 210 and the KTM 250 Adventure.

Compared to the XPulse 210, the T250X offers a more premium design and TFT display, but it loses ground in engine refinement, fuel injection, and hardcore off-road capabilities. The XPulse, for example, features 21/18-inch wheels, longer suspension travel, and possibly switchable ABS, giving it more edge in tough terrains.

Then there’s the KTM 250 Adventure, more expensive but far more advanced in both electronics and performance. However, that premium comes at a cost that’s Rs. 1.5–2 lakhs higher than the T250X.

This places the Morbidelli T250X in a sweet spot for value-conscious adventure riders, especially those who prefer rugged simplicity over high-end gadgetry.

Conclusion

The Morbidelli T250X is a fresh and intriguing entrant in Nepal’s mid-capacity adventure segment. While it won’t win over riders looking for cutting-edge electronics or outright performance, it offers timeless design, practical hardware, and honest value.

For riders who want a stylish ADV that’s mechanically simple and road-trip-ready out of the box, the T250X makes a compelling case. And if it finds its footing in the market, we could eventually see the T250X Pro, complete with FI, more features, and higher spec components, gracing Nepali roads in the near future.

Until then, Morbidelli’s return feels like a breath of fresh air in a segment that has long needed more diversity.
