KTM 250 Duke Summary

Price: KTM 250 Duke price for its variant - 250 Duke Standard starts at Rs. 2,41,531. The mentioned 250 Duke price is the average ex-showroom.

KTM 250 Duke is a street bike available in only 1 variant and 4 colours. The KTM 250 Duke is powered by 249.07cc BS6 engine which develops a power of 30.57 bhp and a torque of 25 Nm. With both front and rear disc brakes, KTM 250 Duke comes up with anti-locking braking system. This 250 Duke bike weighs 162.8 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 15 liters.

KTM 250 Duke received its biggest ever upgrade in 2024. This streetfighter received a lot of changes - aesthetically as well as in the performance aspects. 



KTM also completely redesigned the engine of the 250 Duke. With a newly optimised cylinder head and gearbox and a larger airbox, the 250 Duke is claimed to be more potent than before. As a result, the power and torque output numbers have also witnessed a marginal hike. Now, the 248.7cc, liquid-cooled engine of the bike produces 30.57bhp and 25Nm and continues to be mated to a six-speed gearbox. As a result of a bigger airbox, the KTM Duke 250 top speed has also gone up and can now easily do over 140kmph.



Furthermore, the cycle parts of the bike have also been altered. It is underpinned by an all-new steel trellis frame that joins an off-set mono-shock, a curved swingarm, new 17-inch alloys, and new brakes all of which are lighter to facilitate the bike with a better power-to-weight ratio. 



The feature list of the 250 Duke has got quite longer with the inclusion of a ride-by-wire throttle system, a slipper clutch, and a quick shifter. The instrument cluster is a five-inch LCD unit which is Bluetooth-enabled and offers turn-by-turn navigation. Accompanying these goodies is a new bodywork which is more similar to the flagship 1290 Super Duke than the previous model. The front fascia looks more sinister and radical, the fuel tank section is muscular with sharper extensions, and the new die-cast aluminium sub-frame makes for the tail section.



The 2024 KTM 250 Duke is available in three colours – Electronic Orange, Atlantic Blue Ceramic White.

KTM 250 Duke Review

  • Good Things

    • Overall styling is quite aggressive
    • 250cc engine offers good performance
    • Riding and handling abilities are quite nice
  • Could be Better

    • Overall NVH could have been better
    • Low-end torque is quite less

BikeWale's Take

The new 250 Duke offers a combination of aspirational styling, great performance and modern features. The motorcycle is easy to ride and also has good handling abilities. Plus, with Bajaj’s support, it has great after-sales support. But the overall NVH of the bike could have been bit better.

      After Riding 15k km

      2 weeks ago


      Reddy Sanjay

      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

      My Duke 250 Journey or AKA Mini 390.

      2 weeks ago


      Prince Roy

      My Duke 250 Journey
      I bought my Duke 250 in late September this year through OLX from an owner who had purchased it in February. It had just around 3,000 kilometers on the odometer, so it was barely used. The previous owner’s reason for selling it remains a mystery (maybe the fuel efficiency?), but after a thorough check to confirm it hadn’t been in any accidents, I was able to get it for a solid price of 2 lakhs.
      First Impressions and Performance
      I upgraded from the Yamaha R15 V3, which held its ground well, so initially, I didn’t feel a huge surge in power at low RPMs (around 2k-4k) where both Duke siblings tend to be softer. But once I had the chance to rev past 5k RPM, the Duke 250 revealed its real character. It almost transforms, and suddenly, the speedometer’s climbing faster than I’d expect! This reminds me of the R15’s VVA effect around 7k RPM, where it starts to feel like a bigger-engine bike.
      Design and Road Presence
      As Shami from MotorInc mentioned, KTM’s design is divisive; some love it, and others don’t. I personally like the White color, but if I’d had the option, I’d have gone for the Blue. The Duke’s design definitely grabs attention on the streets, but in a more subtle way these days. The Blue and Black versions are stylish, shedding that chaprhi image to exude a refined sporty vibe.
      Ergonomics, Ride Comfort, and Handling
      As another Duke rider on Reddit said, KTM may be known for speed, but handling is where it truly excels. Coming from the R15, I had high expectations, and the Duke hasn’t just met them—it’s exceeded them! The bike feels nimble and maneuverable, making it perfect for weaving through traffic. Despite its muscular build, the Duke feels surprisingly light, like an extension of yourself on the road.
      Comfort-wise, the seat could definitely be better. After an hour of riding, it starts to feel like a workout for my backside. A reupholstered aftermarket seat might be a good option for those longer rides. The ride is stiff, which enhances control, but that also means it isn’t the cushiest experience.
      As for the tires, they’re adequate but didn’t quite inspire the same confidence as the R15’s, especially around tight corners or during sudden braking.
      Engine, Braking, and Mileage
      The engine feels almost Japanese in its smooth, linear power delivery, despite being European. Coming from Yamaha, I felt right at home with its refinement. It’s impressive how vibration-free the Duke remains, even with a larger 250cc engine compared to the R15.
      One thing to note: the Duke 250 doesn’t like to be kept at low RPMs, almost like an impatient partner when you’re preoccupied. It’s happiest over 5k RPM, where it really comes alive. I recently took it on a 100-kilometer ride along open roads, and that’s when it felt like the king of the highway!
      For mileage, it hovers around 28-30 km/l. It’s better than previous Duke generations, but you’ll still find yourself at the pump more often. However, I’ve accepted that fueling up often is part of the experience if I want to enjoy this sporty machine to its fullest!
      Final Thoughts
      After just a month of ownership, one big takeaway is the cost of ownership beyond the showroom price. Between fuel, maintenance, and some cosmetic upgrades (about 10k worth), the expenses add up. I’m glad I went for it, but it’s definitely something to keep in mind for anyone eyeing a Duke 250 or similar.
      Above all, the Duke 250 deserves respect on the road. With the right gear and a responsible mindset, this machine rewards you with an incredible riding experience. Let’s ride it as the refined piece of engineering it is and give it the respect it commands!
      If you’ve read this far, thank you for sharing in my journey with the Duke 250.

      The new black colour elevates the Duke to an entirely new level, giving it a striking and sophisticated appearance. The updated LCD colour display enhances functionality and aesthetics, making it more user-friendly and visually appealing. Additionally, its performance stands out as one of the best in the 250cc segment, delivering an exhilarating riding experience.

      "HOOLIGAN"Raising bench mark by adding value to every money spent to buy it.

      6 weeks ago


      Anurag

      I am in my late 30's , I never thought to come back on 2 wheelers (Driving cars for past 15years).
      Reason to buy,
      1) Pure fun to ride 😁 .
      2)Sharp handling and cornering.
      3) Raw engine noise like someone is taking out frustration by shouting wholeheartedly.
      4) A typical turbo-like noise from the engine when slowly revving throttle. (Drive turbo engine diesle car and when turbo kicks in , that kind of sound.)
      5) If handling matters the most, close your eyes and buy.
      6) Good build quality.
      7) Want to feel the same adrenaline rush the way we use to get while riding RX100,RD350,(pulsar 150 and Karizma when it was launched in 2003).
      8) Mileage is not a concern.
      9) Want to relive your early motorbike days with the same enthusiasm?
      10) Can not or don't want to waste money on 650cc bike purchase then maintenance cost (approx 15k per service )
      11) Trust me I am 120kg and bike goes 0 to 100kmph under 5.8 seconds and with my weight, i am easily able to reach 155kmph every time I ride on Palm Beach Road, with some juice left in the engine to pull more.
      12) Throttle response is amazing sharp.
      13) Want to change gear without clutch (up or down both).
      14) Want to know what sharp braking actually means without tumbling or losing control of machine.
      15) Want colorful display with many things inside it.
      16) Want to experience the difference between abs and non-abs, traction control, track mode , rain mode ,street mode , supermoto mode , sliding the bike , wheelie control , adjustable suspension f&b both, navigation display on screen , Bluetooth, phone charging type c.
      Reasons not to buy ,
      1) Long ride discomfortable seat.
      2) Mileage i get is 20-21kmpl
      3) Not able to concentrate while riding.
      4) Gets distracted very easily.
      5) You have sheep behaviour/mentality.
