About the Reviewer

I bought this bike in April now It is 7 months old with 15k km my experience is performance the pick is top-notch and the brakes are perfect actually they saved my life 3 times overall go for it other than any bike this price segment and cc without doubt I loved it.
The brake pad needs to change around 3 - 5k km as in Bangalore traffic for 15km I have changed 3 times front and 2 times back brake pads and regular chain lub is mandatory for every 700 to 1200 middle

About the Reviewer

We bought my Duke 250 2024 from the Kharadi Showroom. The sales guy named Pratik over there was the sole reason we bought the bike over Apache. He gave the smoothest and well-maintained delivery experience throughout. Absolutely stunning delivery experience and a well-spoken humble guy.
The riding experience is good. The bike feels willing to push all the way up to the red line. Once at 8,000 RPM, the bike gets a surge of performance and feels incredibly fast for a 250cc bike. Performance delivery is very linear in the beginning gears, and violent once at the red line. There are observable vibrations in lower gears and speeds. Might fatigue a few people. The riding poster though straight, the bent knees start to cramp your leg up on longer commutes. Pillion seat though more comfortable than before, still leaves the passenger fatigued on longer rides. Not recommended for road trips with a pillion. The quick shifter on my unit seems a bit clunky but snaps into gear lunging the bike forward, hence don’t use it much. But when it works, it works superbly. Braking never felt better. It has stopping power for days. Can go from 80 to 0 quickly at a very stable rate. 4 days in, already did like 220 KM on it. It isn’t even run-in yet, but I already touched 120+ speeds for fun. A lot of harsh bumper-to-bumper traffic riding too. The bike in its run-in period for the first 30 KM gave only 20-21 KM/Lit. Fast forward as the engine is now opening up, it is giving 28. By 300 or so, I expect the mileage to go up to 30-32 in the city easily. Highways in my area are always busy, hence didn’t get proper highway mileage in yet. The bike is a sports bike, hence, comfort and ease of ride are out of the question, but it still performs way better than a lot of its competitors in the daily commuting category.
The bike is a stand-out. Always looks menacing and sharp. Got a man asking the bike's price just seconds after I took it outside after delivery. Yes, people do call you chapri when they get to know it's KTM, but if they don’t know the bike is from KTM, they look at it with aww. 10 minutes into the ride, my friend who said I made a mistake by buying this bike, changed his opinion and now rides it more than I do. Performance as previously is very good for a 250cc BS6 compliant single cylinder motor.
Didn’t yet have a service, but from what I am told it will cost me no labor charges, but they will charge me for oil, oil filter and coolant change separately. Basically, they will change these items for free for the first service, but will charge me for the products they will change. This I found ridiculous, as the bike already costs ₹2,85,000 where I live. I expected them to make this first service fully free for that.
The bike is a very good offering from KTM for beginners in 250cc category, though the price is very steep. It will last you well enough for short commutes and slightly longer runs. Burst of performance is addictive. Overall, the ride comfort isn’t great, but for a sports bike, very doable. I will recommend this bike only to people who want sheer performance at the cost of a little bit of mileage and comfort. Bring a Bajaj partnership product, the service and maintenance shouldn’t be a hassle either. Great bike for a selective group of enthusiasts only.
