The 2024 KTM 250 Duke recently burst onto the Indian motorcycling scene with a plethora of changes which promise to make it significantly better than its predecessor.

Talking about the updates received by the new 250 Duke, the design is now more closely inspired by the 1290 Super Duke which makes it look bigger and brawnier than before. And the two new colour options look bold enough to enhance its visual appeal. Accompanying the new styling are additional features like a ride-by-wire throttle system and a quick shifter. It also gets full LED lighting, a digital console with Bluetooth connectivity, a slipper clutch, and a USB charger.
Clinging on to its new steel trellis frame is a heavily reworked 248.7cc, liquid-cooled engine that produces 30.57bhp and 25Nm both of which are marginally higher than before. Furthermore, KTM has also employed new cycle parts that are lighter than before. Owing to the inclusion of a new offset monoshock, banana-type swingarm, and new WP suspension setup, the 250 Duke is now close to 8kg lighter than before with a kerb weight of 162.8kg.
