KTM 250 DUKE OVERVIEW

The 250 Duke is KTM’s quarter-litre street bike which sits between its 200 Duke and 390 Duke in terms of price, displacement, features, and components. The new LED headlight adds an even premium look to the quarter-litre motorcycle. The bike uses a BS6-compliant, 248.76cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that makes 30bhp maximum power and 24Nm of peak torque.

This engine links to a six-speed gearbox that benefits from a slipper clutch. The slipper clutch feature prevents the rear wheel from locking and aggressive downshifting. The quarter-litre motorcycle continues to boast sharp and edgy styling. The colour palette includes two options – Silver Metallic and Dark Galvano. Like other KTM models, the 250 Duke also incorporates top-notch cycle parts such as a WP-sourced suspension setup and ByBre brakes.

The motorcycle is built around a split-type trellis frame and rides on 17-inch alloy wheels, which indulge with MRF Revz C1 tyres. The safety net includes a dual-channel ABS with Supermoto mode that deactivates ABS only for the rear wheel. Weighing at 161kg (kerb), the 250 Duke also boasts an impressive power-to-weight ratio. In terms of features on the 250 Duke, you get fully digital LCD instrumentation, which in addition to all the standard info, also shows you things like distance-to-empty, real-time fuel consumption, and average speed.

The tail lamp and turn indicators are all-LED a dual-channel ABS provides safety. This 250 Duke bike weighs 170 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 13.5liters. When grouping by price, the 250 Duke competes against the likes of the Bajaj Dominar 400 and Apache RR 310 in terms of specifications, it goes up against the Suzuki Gixxer 250 and the upcoming Bajaj Dominar 250.
