The KTM 250 Duke has been updated recently with two new colours, Metallic Silver and Slate Grey. The two will now be sold alongside the Ebony Black colour scheme. Here’s a closer look at each colour:
Metallic Silver
The Metallic Silver is a premium-looking shade with a slight mix of orange. This shade features a dark grey ‘250’ logo on the tank extensions, with a tiny orange highlight at the edge. It resembles the Silver Metallic colour scheme available on the previous-generation Duke 250.
Slate Grey
This colour scheme features an orange finish on the tank, with a dark grey finish on the tank extensions. The orange accents on the upper tank extensions contrast with the dark grey ‘250’ graphic.
Ebony Black
This colour scheme is a subtle shade combining black and orange. It has remained unchanged since launch and will appeal to riders who are looking for an understated look. The brand recently unveiled a slightly revised version of the same, with orange highlights on the headlight section. We were expecting it to be launched in India.
Mechanically, the KTM 250 Duke remains unchanged. It is still powered by the same 249.7cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine, producing 30.5bhp and 25Nm. The bike is built on a trellis frame and is suspended on a WP Apex inverted fork and monoshock. Braking duties are taken care of by a 320mm front and 240mm rear disc setup. The KTM 250 Duke is priced at Rs. 2,13,618 (ex-showroom, Delhi).
