The 250 Duke is KTM’s quarter-litre street bike which sits in between its 200 Duke and 390 Duke in terms of price, displacement, features and components. The motorcycle received an upgrade in 2020 in the form of an LED headlight that is similar to the unit on the 390 Duke. The new LED headlight adds an even premium look to the quarter-litre motorcycle.
The 250 Duke uses a BS6-compliant, 248.76cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that makes 29.6bhp of maximum power at 9,000rpm and 24Nm of peak torque at 7,500rpm. This engine is linked to a six-speed gearbox that benefits from a slipper clutch. The slipper clutch feature prevents the rear wheel from locking while aggressive downshifting.
The quarter-litre motorcycle continues to boast of 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 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 are shod 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 of an impressive power-to-weight ratio.
Considering its styling and displacement, the KTM 250 Duke competes against the Suzuki Gixxer 250 and the Yamaha FZ 25 in India.
The average of the 250 Duke [2021] is 30 kmpl, as per the owners of the bike.

The all rounder of ktm

Compared to other 250cc vehicles ktm is slightly priced on the higher side but it's definitely worth the price. The riding experience is so good the initial torque is awesome. The bike will thrive you to rev the engine always. The ground clearance is so low you face a lot of issues with speed breakers. The looks of this vehicle are awesome, especially the new headlight similar to duke 390 looks awesome. I have clocked a top speed of 150kmph. Service maintenance is quite manageable but fuel efficiency is less in the city. It gives you around 25-28 kmpl in the city and 30-32 on the highway. Make sure to go for a test ride before you buy because of the seat height you have to be at least 5’8 to handle this bike. Pros New led headlight Powerful engine Cheap to maintain Cons Doesn’t get TFT instrument cluster Fuel efficiency is less Very low ground clearance

Tips for other riders
Maintain required tyre pressure always 29 psi at the front and 32 psi at the rear. Better to service every 5000 kms after the first service. Lubricate your chain every 500km.

250 duke review

The bike, if riding in higher gears and lower rpms up until 6000-7000 rpm will give you about 25 km/l to 27 km/l in the city and 29 km/l to 31 km/l on a highway ride. Looks & comfort i feel the duke 250 speaks for itself in this area, it's the best looking bike in the market after the duke 390 according to me the ktm duke 250 is a reliable powerhouse bike, with its naked-bike approach catering to speedsters. The trellis-like frame adds the imposing touch that epitomizes all ktm duke bikes selling in the country. It has a black and orange dual-shaded finishing with 250 written in big letters super and addictive for mad riders that's the power of 250. Power is always with ktm duke 250

I didn't buy this bike at all. I took this bike on a rent to a short tour.It was an excellent bike for tour. I had travelled around 200 kilometer at an average speed of 90-100+ It has attractive looks that black and red are so dope. It was an excellent performance by bike Servicing the bike is the main task to maintain a bike like a model it was very good to maintain a bike

This bike gives me a different vibe. You can put it on racing track to be a street champion. She is a street champion.. It never loses in traffic and goes smoother and smoother. It's best choice to ride daily and go on tour. Amazing mileage in city and highways. Overall a perfect combination bike.
