What is the "AVERAGE" topic in all KTM instrument consoles?
29 December 2022 05:59
KTM bikes show their fuel mileage in a different way and the term average must be related to the average speed of the bike during the current trip. This makes it easy for the bike to present the sum of all speeds like 20 kmph in traffic and 140 kmph on the highway and then dividing the same with the number of kilometers the bike was ridden in the same trip meter reading.

KTM125 duke is just a Duke, not a furious bike?

What is the actual price of KTM RC 125 in Kalyan?
29 December 2022 05:59
KTM RC125 is currently not available in India and the most possible alternate for the same in the country is RC200. The RC series currently sells RC200 and RC390 in the Indian market. RC125 has more chances of launch then all the other 125cc performance motorcycles like Yamaha R125 and Honda CBR125R. The reason behind the same is that KTM do not offer any 150cc motorcycle, which would alter the pricing affair of the 125cc offering whereas other two have a 150cc cousin at an affordable price. Pricing the RC125 around INR 1,25,000 would make the KTM supersport feel more closer than the current generation RC200 priced at INR 1,69,000. The RC125 comes with a 124.7 cc engine producing 14.8 BHP and 12 NM of torque.

COMPARISON OF HONDA CBR250R ,MAHINDRA MOJO 300 & KTM DUKE 390?
29 December 2022 05:58
The best bike serving all the above listed functions would be the Mahindra Mojo as it comes with a sensible price tag of INR 1,58,000 and performs really well for its actual value. It gets a 294.72 cc engine producing 26.82 BHP and 30 NM of torque. The values are excellent when compared to CBR250R but lacks the charms in front of the bigger Duke 390. The Duke is not an excellent choice for long rides due to its small fuel tank and aggressive riding position. The Mojo gets an outstanding 21 liter of fuel tank and cruises very easily on triple digit speeds. It gets exclusive Pirelli Diablo Rosso 2 tyres and tackles every surface with its excellent front USD as well as rear monoshock suspension.

Can KTM RC 390 hit a top speed of 210 kmph after making some modifications?
29 December 2022 05:57
The KTM RC390 can hit a top speed of 210 kmph with the modifications related to its weight reduction and track oriented part exchanges. Firstly, the bike needs to shed some weight, which is done by removing all the additional parts required for a road legal motorcycle. This includes rear foot rests, mirrors, headlights, mudguards and many of the parts are replaced with lighter carbon fiber parts. The heavy exhaust system is also replaced with a free flow exhaust and rest is done through modifications of the ECU, increasing some red-line limit if possible. These modifications are not possible on a real life road as many parts are illegal and track based only.

Please suggest me, which one is good – Bajaj Pulsar RS200, KTM RC 200 or KTM 200 Duke?
29 December 2022 05:57
KTM 200 Duke is the best bike from the three above selected bikes. RC200 is an excellent example of a lightweight sport bike but lacks the comfort of everyday riding with its aggressive seat position. The RS200 is again using the same engine but seems to be lesser refined than its KTM competitors. The 200 Duke presents a perfect combination of power and comfort as it gets a raised handlebar with upright seating position. The things get more better when the 199.5 cc engine produces a max of 24.6 BHP and 19.2 NM of torque. It gets USD forks for better suspension and an attractive price tag of INR 1,38,000.

KTM RC200 has a better mileage because it comes with better technologies than the Pulsar 220 DTS-i. RC200 comes with a 199.5 cc, liquid cooled and fuel injected engine producing 24.65 BHP and 19.2 NM of torque.

Can seat height of KTM Duke be lowered by any means by customization?
29 December 2022 05:57
The seat height of KTM Duke can be lowered by customization. The suspension of the bike is altered and modified in order to reduce the seat height. The method is not a successful one as it highly influence the handling of the bike. The values like ground clearance also gets affected and overall performance of the bike changes with the same. It is better to choose other bikes with a seat height of around 780 mm as it will definitely suit your driving needs and handling. KTM Duke 200 is sold for INR 1,38,000 and has a seat height of 810 mm whereas the 390 Duke is available for INR 1,90,000 with a seat height of 800 mm.

I want to buy KTM RC 250, as I have heard it will be not launched in India then how can I buy it in India from dealers or other places?
29 December 2022 05:30

Hi Rishav,

Don't bother about RC250. Go ahead with RC390 if you really want a hard core affordable racer bike. Just check if now RC390 has come in with Slipper Clutch or not. Duke 390 already is now coming with Slipper Clutch. If you are not too particular about buying a faired motorcycle, then buy Duke 390. It is the best value for money in the segment.

Features given by KTM are absolutely far ahead of the competition while the price is much lower. Duke 390 is around 2.2 - 2.3 lakhs on road and it is faster than much costlier bikes like Yamaha YZF-R3, Kawasaki Ninja 300 and even Benelli 300.

People keep talking of quality etc. - I own KTM Duke 200 for last 3.5 years and it is totally trouble free motorcycle giving excellent performance for its price. The shine of its colour/plastic parts is intact, no rattling sounds, no rusted bolts or silencer etc. parts...No reduction in pick up and average....

Just be aware - you will be moving to a relatively expensive segment and maintaining it requires some care. But it will still be cheaper to maintain than Japanese brands in that segment. Duke 200 and Duke 390 are the best bikes you can buy in their segment and you can go ahead without too much thinking.

Beware - Duke/RC are much focussed on high performance and handling. So they have stiff suspension and it takes some effort to adjust with it. Relatively Yamaha R3, Ninja 300 and Benelli TNT 300 will all be far more comfortable. Benelli is very comfortable. But performance of Duke/RC will blow you away compared to all of them. Also KTM Duke/RC (200-390) are very lightweight bikes and hence cutting through traffic is very easy on them. Duke 390 is most practical thing you can buy.

Which bike do girls find more attractive - KTM Duke 200 or KTM RC 200?
29 December 2022 05:53

It's definitely the RC series from KTM which gets more attention from everyone. The Duke 200 gets black alloy wheels and black underpinnings, making it look a bit decent whereas the RC200 gets Orange wheels and underpinnings, making it more attractive to the eye. Also, the fully faired bikes are considered as superbikes in India whereas even a 1000 cc bike without fairing gets ignored many a times. You should definitely go for RC200 as it would serve your purpose the best way whereas others in the segment look much common and lesser attractive.
