KTM 250 Duke Summary
Price: KTM 250 Duke price for its variant - 250 Duke Standard starts at Rs. 2,75,197. The mentioned 250 Duke price is the on-road price of Delhi.

KTM 250 Duke is a street bike available in only 1 variant and 2 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.

With the 2024 iteration, KTM bestowed the 250 Duke with the biggest-ever update. The motorcycle received changes on all fronts which promise to make it a more engaging and a more desirable quarter-litre offering than its predecessor.

The feature list of the 250 Duke now includes a ride-by-wire throttle system, a slipper clutch, and a quick shifter. There’s a 5-inch LCD too 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.

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. 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 2024 KTM 250 Duke will be available in two colours – Electronic Orange and Ceramic White and official bookings for the bike for Rs 4,499.

The 2023 Yamaha MT 15 has received several updates over its predecessor. The biggest upgrade on the 2023 model is the addition of a traction control system and a dual-channel ABS. In comparison, the previous iteration of the roadster-segment motorcycle only featured the safety net of a single-channel ABS.

Apart from enhancing the safety net, Yamaha Motor India has also added LED turn indicators to this motorcycle, and the MT 15 now comes with full-LED lighting. Meanwhile, the cockpit retains the LCD instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity. The Bluetooth module works with a dedicated smartphone application and offers access to features such as incoming call alerts, SMS and email notifications, and phone battery level to the LCD console. Further, the smartphone application helps track fuel consumption, provides maintenance recommendations, saves the last parked location, and shows malfunction notifications.

The design remains unchanged for 2023. However, Yamaha Motor India has revised the colour palette with the addition of the new Metallic Black DLX paint. This new paint option will be sold alongside the Ice Fluo-Vermillion, Racing Blue, and Cyan Storm colour themes. All colour options come with a different shade for the alloy wheels.

The mechanical specifications, too, are similar to its predecessor. However, the 2023 model comes equipped with an onboard diagnostics (OBD-II) system that monitors the emission levels in real time. The 155cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, SOHC, four-valve, fuel-injected engine with VVA system delivers a maximum output of 18.1bhp at 10,000rpm and a peak torque of 14.2Nm at 7,500rpm. The six-speed gearbox benefits from an assist and slipper clutch mechanism. However, unlike the YZF-R15, this motorcycle does not get a quick-shifter.
