KTM is expanding gradually, not just taking care of the riders who demand more power, but also bringing restricted power and impressive designing into consideration. The launch of KTM Duke 125 at INR 1.18 lakh, along with the introduction of updated Duke 200 at INR 1.60 lakh, has made their lineup more fulfilling than ever. Both the bikes are seen with 1-channel ABS for more confident amateur riding.
The flagship KTM Duke 390 already came with all the goodies, sharing its basic design with the quarter-litre streetfighter. It is priced at INR 2.44 lakh, using Metzeler tires, better TFT digital console, LED headlight, ride-by-wire and bigger 320mm front disc brake as exclusive options. On the other hand, the 250 Duke is using a unique headlight, along with the similar exhaust and basic design lines as Duke 390.
The price for KTM Duke 250 ABS is INR 1.94 lakh (ex-showroom). This kept INR 34000 worth difference from the Duke 200 and even bigger INR 50000 of a gap with the Duke 390. It means that those looking for the Duke 390 styling can save this amount by compromising on power while fans of Duke 200 can also save INR 42,000 by getting Duke 125.
Power is not always the first priority of a large section of buyers and availability of KTM 125 Duke and 250 Duke will definitely help buyers realize their design dreams within a fixed budget. If seen practically, the power output of Duke 125 is good enough to pull away from the city traffic and ride comfortably at around 80-90 kph. All bikes are available with similar tire size, with first three options getting MRF rubber.
