About the Reviewer

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.

About the Reviewer

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
