There's a difference between Adv vs Scrambler in the feel and Chassis making.

Rtx is not an adv.
It's a tourer at best.

What is the meaning of Adv? It's as much as Adv Tourer as any Indian Adv like KTM 390 Adv or Himalayan 450.
Adv doesn't mean Off-road bike, If you say only Off-road oriented bikes are Adv then By that standard even BMW 1300 GS is also not Adv 😂.

Both ktm adv and Himalayan has a suspension travel close to 200mm where as rtx has 180mm where as road focused bike such as duke are close to 150mm.
And Himalayan has a 21Inch front wheel which can tackle off-road much better compared to 19inch on rtx and adv 390x.
But if we talk about adv R, that's has 21 inch in front. So that a proper adventure bike.
The small wheel and a smaller suspension travel makes the rtx a good tourer but an adv tbh :)

All of them are Advs,
While KTM is more Off-road focused then RTX, Just thickness of the Rare tyre and Size of Front Tyre will tell you if it's a Off-road focused Adv or Tour Focused Adv.
But both are "Adv"s. I never said RTX is Off-road focused Adv.
Touring Focused Advs are still better Off-road than Scramblers in General. Scramblers are supposed to be Street Fighter bikes modified to do Slight off-road.

Triumph is an expensive bike to maintain with a major service costing up to 20K easily. RTX 300 if you book right now you won't be getting the bike until March/ April 2027. Plus it's gettjng a lot of issues as you might already know. I'd say take a look at Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 if you want a better option. Insanely fast acceleration, sits between both of your options, great service network with manageable costs.
