- KTM dealers offering discount of up to Rs 3 lakhs on the BS4 790 Duke
- Limited units left in stock
- BS6 790 Duke to be launched in the coming months
The KTM 790 Duke is the Austrian bike maker’s flagship model in India. The motorcycle was launched in September last year with a price tag of Rs 8.63 lakhs (ex-showroom, India). Now, in an attempt to sell out the remaining BS4 units of the bike ahead of BS6 norms becoming operational on 1 April, dealers are offering massive discounts on the 790 Duke.
KTM has very few units of the BS4 790 Duke left in stock. These units are being sold at a discount of around Rs 2.6-3 lakhs on its on-road price, depending on the dealer. For instance, a Bangalore dealer has quoted the price of the bike at Rs 7.73 lakhs which earlier stood at Rs 10.71 lakhs. Also, a Mumbai dealer has dropped its price from Rs 10.10 lakhs to Rs 7.50 lakhs (all prices are on-road).
The KTM 790 Duke is a naked streetfighter, powered by a 799cc, parallel-twin motor which belts out 105bhp and 86Nm. For managing that insane performance, it comes loaded with ample of electronic aids such as lean-sensitive traction control, cornering ABS, launch control and wheelie control. For displaying information and controlling all these gizmos, KTM has equipped the bike with a full-colour TFT display.
Although the exact launch timeline of the BS6 790 Duke is not confirmed yet, KTM is expected to introduce it in the second quarter of this year.
