KTM Duke 250 Review
Overview
Introduction
KTM bikes are immensely popular among young buyers in India. The Austrian bike maker launched the 250 Duke in India in 2017 to fill the gap between 200 and 390. The bike sits in the middle of these two in terms of power, features and pricing. Continuing the KTM’s racing legacy, the bike made a prominent place in the Indian two-wheeler industry. The brand has made some tweaks to the bike in 2020. Let’s dive in to know all of its features and specifications.
KTM Duke 250 Design and Style
Built on KTM’s aggressive design language, the 250 Duke is a naked motorbike. The motorcycle's general design is similar to that of its elder sibling, the 390 Duke. The front profile has a sleek headlamp design with LED daytime running lights in the shape of a boomerang. The fuel tank is chiselled and has stylish extensions.
The exposed trellis frame lends the KTM 250 Duke a rugged appearance. The tail part also has a bolted frame painted in orange that looks fantastic. The side-mounted exhaust adds to the appearance of the motorbike. The tail section is stylish, thanks to the new LED taillight, split grip rails, and tail-tidy design. The black alloy wheels with orange stickers complement the entire appearance.
KTM Duke 250 Engine and Gearbox

Ex-showroom Price & On-Road Price
Ex-Showroom Price is the Manufacturing Cost of the vehicle + Dealer/Seller Profit + GST (Goods and Service Tax) + Transportation Charges (from the manufacturing plant to the dealership). The On-Road Price, on the other hand, is the real amount you pay to the dealership to make the car roadworthy.

KTM Duke 250 Competitors
At present, Yamaha FZS 25 and Suzuki Gixxer 250 are in competition with New KTM 250 Duke in the Indian market. Although both these bikes are cheaper than the 250 Duke, their torque and power output is less than the 250 Duke.
Verdict- Should You Buy it?
When it comes to power, the KTM 250 Duke’s torque and power outputs are the maxima and best figures in the 250cc segment. Apart from that, the appeal of this bike cannot be seen in any other 250cc segment bikes. The split headlamp and integrated DRLs are some plus points. The motorcycle comprises a good braking experience with a dual-channel ABS system and is all set in the department of safety and comfort. The bike comes in a sporty look and is a perfect buy for the youth.
FAQs
-
What is the ground clearance of the KTM Duke 250?
27 July 2023 07:10The ground clearance of the KTM Duke 250 is 151 mm. This measurement refers to the distance between the lowest point of the bike (usually the undercarriage or exhaust) and the ground. A higher ground clearance can be advantageous when riding over uneven or rough road, as it reduces the risk of the bike scraping against obstacles.

My main travelling is daily city commutes and some weekend tours. I am confused between KTM 250 Adventure and KTM Duke 250. Which is better?
15 January 2023 03:41When it comes to selecting the right bike, it is important to consider your budget, preferred segment, features required, and engine options. The KTM 250 Adventure is powered by a 248.76 cc engine that provides a powerful 30 PS @ 9000 rpm and a torque of 24 Nm @ 7500 rpm. This engine makes the 250 Adventure one of the smoothest KTM single-cylinder engines on sale. The 19-/17-inch wheel setup provides superior confidence when going over rough roads.
On the other hand, the KTM 250 Duke is perfect for those who are looking for something quick and convenient for everyday use. This bike has a much more relaxed motor and comfy suspension compared to other KTMs. It is powered by a 248.8 cc engine that generates a power of 30 PS @ 9000 rpm and a torque of 24 Nm @ 7500 rpm. We highly recommend you to take a test drive before making the final decision.

Which one is the best KTM Duke 250 or Dominar?
15 January 2023 03:38The KTM 250 Duke is a great option for those looking for performance and convenience. It has a 248.8 cc engine that generates 30 PS @ 9000 rpm and a torque of 24 Nm @ 7500 rpm. The price tag of Rs. 2,28,851 is a great deal for what you get.
On the other hand, the Bajaj Dominar 250 is a great sports tourer and is fit to purpose. It has a 250cc motor that works beautifully with the comfortable touring ergonomics. The price tag of Rs. 1,66,355 makes it a great entry-level option. Ultimately, the choice depends on your budget and preference. We would suggest you to take a test ride of both the bikes before making a final decision.

User Reviews for KTM Duke
Very Poor Build Quality No Support
Lots of problems from day one, two and a half years later most not resolved, very poor from KTM all-round very disappointed with the bike its been horrendous owning it.
Best Features: Headlights
Pros: Was Ok to Start With
Cons: Poor quality after a year, its very poor
Best 200cc Bike in India
Currently i bought a Duke 200 BS6 2 weeks ago and its a good decision to buy. I am driving between 55 and 65 and getting a mileage of 40.1 km/l currently which is a good one in this segment. The headlight visibility is good. Initial acceleration is also good. I recommend for Duke 200 and above version to use premium petrol as the compression rate is 11.3. Overall experience, I am totally satisfied with the bike. As on the cons side the ground clearance is really now especially when you are carrying an pillion rider, there is an high chance of hitting the lower part in the bumper.
Best Features: Dual Channel ABS, DRL
Pros: Looks, Acceleration and Mileage
Cons: Ground Clearance
Worst bike when it comes to maintainance
This review is based on personal experience. KTM Duke 200 is One of the worst bikes when it comes to maintenance. I feel I have spent the same amount on petrol and maintenance. For 15,000km Petrol = 36,000 (bike mileage 30km/LTR) Petrol price - 75 (AVG) Maintenance Service = 3 times x 3500 = 10500 (min) Fork oil seal replacement= 2500 Starter motor stator coil replacement =3500 Chain sprocket replacement= 3500 Oil seal replacement = 1500 Start on button replacement = 1200 Fuel sensor replacement= 1000 Clutch wire replacement = 200 Chain lubrication For every 500kms = 100 I.e for 15,000kms = 3000 Seat cover (because seat started cracking) = 800 Both tires = 7000 Total = 34,700 I can even show bill for all the things I have mentioned above. Bike is not designed for Indian roads. It's just an overpriced low quality bike.
Best Features: Nothing to tell
Pros: Acceleration
Cons: Bike it self
Good looking KTM 390 Duke. But too aggressive looks.
KTM has built a good bike, but it's too aggressive look and can't hold more interest for long time. Good bike for superbike beginners
Best Features: TFT display, led headlamp, orange color, look, sound,
Pros: Value for money, power, pickup, design, metzler tyres
Cons: Seat height, not comfortable, low fuel tank, poor customer service (not all the places).
1st of its kind !!
Had waited long, but ultimately had launched in India !! By going what's in the paper, it seems like it won't fall short in performance and will be a good investment!! Also not to mention, the waiting period for the Duke 390 is too bit longer as that of Duke 250 & 200,which will be available from 8th of March.
Best Features: TFT info screen, Slipper Clutch, Ride By Wire, LED Headlamps, Adjustable suspension arms !!
Pros: Overhauling design from the previous generation Duke 390. Looks will remain appealing for the coming 4 to 5 years.
Cons: The waiting period of the Duke 390 is more then 1 month after booking too. Price increases in different states, so have to go deep into pockets!!
