KTM 250 Duke

KTM 250 Duke is a street bike available in only 1 variant and 2 colours. 250 Duke price starts at Rs. 2,39,000 in India. The KTM 250 Duke is powered by 249.07cc BS6 engine which develops a power of 30.57 bhp and a torque of 25 Nm. With both front and rear disc brakes, KTM 250 Duke comes up with anti-locking braking system. This 250 Duke bike weighs 162.8 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 15 liters.

With the 2024 iteration, KTM bestowed the 250 Duke with the biggest-ever update. The motorcycle received changes on all fronts which promise to make it a more engaging and a more desirable quarter-litre offering than its predecessor.

The feature list of the 250 Duke now includes a ride-by-wire throttle system, a slipper clutch, and a quick shifter. There’s a 5-inch LCD too which is Bluetooth-enabled and offers turn-by-turn navigation. Accompanying these goodies is a new bodywork which is more similar to the flagship 1290 Super Duke than the previous model. The front fascia looks more sinister and radical, the fuel tank section is muscular with sharper extensions, and the new die-cast aluminium sub-frame makes for the tail section.

KTM also completely redesigned the engine of the 250 Duke. With a newly optimised cylinder head and gearbox and a larger airbox, the 250 Duke is claimed to be more potent than before. As a result, the power and torque output numbers have also witnessed a marginal hike. Now, the 248.7cc, liquid-cooled engine of the bike produces 30.57bhp and 25Nm and continues to be mated to a six-speed gearbox. Furthermore, the cycle parts of the bike have also been altered. It is underpinned by an all-new steel trellis frame that joins an off-set mono-shock, a curved swingarm, new 17-inch alloys, and new brakes all of which are lighter to facilitate the bike with a better power-to-weight ratio.

The 2024 KTM 250 Duke will be available in two colours – Electronic Orange and Ceramic White and official bookings for the bike for Rs 4,499.
