    Its a lovely bike and recommend everyone. I even learnt how to ride a bike on this only and it's super comfortable but in long runs sometimes I feel like seats can be a bit uncomfortable for over 6 ft guys and who are healthy like me my height is 6'3 and my weight is around 95kgs. The most helpful feature of this bike is the quickshifter and its works very smoothly i dont think i can ride others bikes that doesn't have a quickshifter as i learnt while using the clutchless gear chaning method as i get very comfortable while using this method. i even experienced the pillion seat and it gets very uncomfortable after 2 hours of ride i don't like either of the seats much but the power weight handling is superb overall apart from the seats its an amazing bike with fully loaded features. The Bluetooth connectivity and navigation works flawlessly though it needed some mods apps to download so that it can work. If i talk about the mileage its meh i dont know whether the 25-26 mileage for a 250 cc bike is good or bad in city never went to the highway though but its pretty much average and i have done only 1st service so far. It would be better if they added drl's and made headlights more strong . Yes seats and headlights can be only flaw in this bike and without after-market lights it can be a nightmare for the night riders the light throw is like its goes far but the brightness is really low even in high beam and if there is pothole or any obstacle you cant see it at all

    Tips for other riders

    Use chain lube every 300kms it tends to get dry frequently after 300-500kms. Cleaning is a must for this or else it looks really dirty. If you can add a mudguard then please do it or else it will get really dirty and muddy.

  • Duke 250 review

    14 weeks ago


    Adarsh Maurya

    The Duke 250 cut indefinitely for me as I felt it was right in my budget, looked killer, had a dual-channel ABS feature, never compromised in performance, and promised a decent fuel economy for all that is offered. But, was I happy with the efficiency figures once I had the bike in my possession? That’s a matter for later.

    Riding Experience: The KTM Duke 250 is lauded for its performance and agility. It's designed to offer a thrilling riding experience, suitable for both city commuting and occasional highway rides. The bike typically features a powerful engine, responsive handling, and a sporty riding posture. The pros include a powerful single-cylinder engine, impressive acceleration, and robust brakes. The bike's lightweight chassis provides excellent maneuverability, making it fun to. However, the Duke 250's aggressive riding position may not suit everyone, and the firm suspension setup can be harsh on rough roads. KTM service is quite a bit expensive. A basic paid service will set you back to at least 2500-3000. Any additional servicing will be added to the bill. Also, the service interval is quite short at 4 months per service

    It provides very good service also but maintaining this powerful machine is not very easy means if you are from a poor background then you will have trouble maintaining this bike because its maintenance is a little bit costly. Change oil after 300000 km and use tubeless tires, keep the bike in shadow always.

  • My Unforgettable Journey with the KTM Duke 250

    14 weeks ago


    Yatharth

    Hey, fellow riders! Just wanted to share my thoughts on the KTM Duke 250 – what a ride! I've had the pleasure of owning this beauty for a few months now, and let me tell you, it's been an absolute blast. The Duke 250 is a beast on the road, and I can't get enough of that punchy 250cc engine. The acceleration is quick, and it handles like a dream. Whether I'm zipping through city traffic or cruising on the highway, this bike never fails to put a smile on my face. The suspension is just right, providing a smooth ride even on bumpy roads. The design is killer, and it turns heads wherever I go. The split headlamp, the exposed frame – it's like KTM took style lessons from a superhero. Plus, the riding posture is spot-on, making it comfortable for both short rides to the store and long weekend getaways. The digital instrument cluster is a nice touch, giving me all the info I need at a glance. I do wish it had some extra tech like smartphone connectivity, but hey, I can live without it. The basics are covered well, and that's what matters most to me. You can feel the quality in every ride. The materials used are top-notch, and the bike feels solid. No weird rattles or shakes – just pure, reliable awesomeness. In a nutshell, the KTM Duke 250 is more than just a bike; it's become a part of my lifestyle. Whether I'm tearing up the asphalt or just sitting in my garage admiring its beauty, this machine has won my heart. Kudos to KTM for creating a bike that not only performs like a champ but looks like one too. If you're in the market for a quarter-liter thrill, give the Duke 250 a spin – you won't regret it! Safe riding, everyone.

    Tips for other riders

    I've found that the Duke 250 is a fairly low-maintenance bike if you keep up with regular checkups. Oil changes and air filter replacements are straightforward and don't break the bank. The recommended service intervals are reasonable, ensuring that the bike stays in top-notch condition without being a hassle. One thing that stands out is the quality of the components. KTM seems to have spared no expense in choosing materials that can handle the rigors of everyday riding. The brakes, suspension, and other vital parts have held up well, requiring minimal attention beyond routine checks. While KTM's reputation for using high-quality components is great, it does come with a slightly higher price tag when it comes to replacement parts. Genuine KTM parts can be a bit pricey, but the upside is they tend to last longer, providing value in the long run.

  • Duke 250 review

    14 weeks ago


    Adarsh Maurya

    The Duke 250 cut indefinitely for me as I felt it was right in my budget, looked killer, had a dual-channel ABS feature, never compromised in performance, and promised a decent fuel economy for all that is offered. But, was I happy with the efficiency figures once I had the bike in my possession? That’s a matter for later.

    Riding Experience: The KTM Duke 250 is lauded for its performance and agility. It's designed to offer a thrilling riding experience, suitable for both city commuting and occasional highway rides. The bike typically features a powerful engine, responsive handling, and a sporty riding posture. The pros include a powerful single-cylinder engine, impressive acceleration, and robust brakes. The bike's lightweight chassis provides excellent maneuverability, making it fun to. However, the Duke 250's aggressive riding position may not suit everyone, and the firm suspension setup can be harsh on rough roads. KTM service is quite a bit expensive. A basic paid service will set you back to at least 2500-3000. Any additional servicing will be added to the bill. Also, the service interval is quite short at 4 months per service

    It provides very good service also but maintaining this powerful machine is not very easy means if you are from a poor background then you will have trouble maintaining this bike because its maintenance is a little bit costly. Change oil after 300000 km and use tubeless tires, keep the bike in shadow always.

  • My Unforgettable Journey with the KTM Duke 250

    14 weeks ago


    Yatharth

    Hey, fellow riders! Just wanted to share my thoughts on the KTM Duke 250 – what a ride! I've had the pleasure of owning this beauty for a few months now, and let me tell you, it's been an absolute blast. The Duke 250 is a beast on the road, and I can't get enough of that punchy 250cc engine. The acceleration is quick, and it handles like a dream. Whether I'm zipping through city traffic or cruising on the highway, this bike never fails to put a smile on my face. The suspension is just right, providing a smooth ride even on bumpy roads. The design is killer, and it turns heads wherever I go. The split headlamp, the exposed frame – it's like KTM took style lessons from a superhero. Plus, the riding posture is spot-on, making it comfortable for both short rides to the store and long weekend getaways. The digital instrument cluster is a nice touch, giving me all the info I need at a glance. I do wish it had some extra tech like smartphone connectivity, but hey, I can live without it. The basics are covered well, and that's what matters most to me. You can feel the quality in every ride. The materials used are top-notch, and the bike feels solid. No weird rattles or shakes – just pure, reliable awesomeness. In a nutshell, the KTM Duke 250 is more than just a bike; it's become a part of my lifestyle. Whether I'm tearing up the asphalt or just sitting in my garage admiring its beauty, this machine has won my heart. Kudos to KTM for creating a bike that not only performs like a champ but looks like one too. If you're in the market for a quarter-liter thrill, give the Duke 250 a spin – you won't regret it! Safe riding, everyone.

    Tips for other riders

    I've found that the Duke 250 is a fairly low-maintenance bike if you keep up with regular checkups. Oil changes and air filter replacements are straightforward and don't break the bank. The recommended service intervals are reasonable, ensuring that the bike stays in top-notch condition without being a hassle. One thing that stands out is the quality of the components. KTM seems to have spared no expense in choosing materials that can handle the rigors of everyday riding. The brakes, suspension, and other vital parts have held up well, requiring minimal attention beyond routine checks. While KTM's reputation for using high-quality components is great, it does come with a slightly higher price tag when it comes to replacement parts. Genuine KTM parts can be a bit pricey, but the upside is they tend to last longer, providing value in the long run.

  • Its a flawless bike

    Aayush

    Its a lovely bike and recommend everyone. I even learnt how to ride a bike on this only and it's super comfortable but in long runs sometimes I feel like seats can be a bit uncomfortable for over 6 ft guys and who are healthy like me my height is 6'3 and my weight is around 95kgs. The most helpful feature of this bike is the quickshifter and its works very smoothly i dont think i can ride others bikes that doesn't have a quickshifter as i learnt while using the clutchless gear chaning method as i get very comfortable while using this method. i even experienced the pillion seat and it gets very uncomfortable after 2 hours of ride i don't like either of the seats much but the power weight handling is superb overall apart from the seats its an amazing bike with fully loaded features. The Bluetooth connectivity and navigation works flawlessly though it needed some mods apps to download so that it can work. If i talk about the mileage its meh i dont know whether the 25-26 mileage for a 250 cc bike is good or bad in city never went to the highway though but its pretty much average and i have done only 1st service so far. It would be better if they added drl's and made headlights more strong . Yes seats and headlights can be only flaw in this bike and without after-market lights it can be a nightmare for the night riders the light throw is like its goes far but the brightness is really low even in high beam and if there is pothole or any obstacle you cant see it at all

    Use chain lube every 300kms it tends to get dry frequently after 300-500kms. Cleaning is a must for this or else it looks really dirty. If you can add a mudguard then please do it or else it will get really dirty and muddy.
