  • After the bigger KTM 390 Duke got it’s generation update, it’s now the turn of the smaller 250 to get its new-gen too. New chassis, lighter components and the awesome LC4c engine is on the menu, but does it still have that KTM special sauce? Karan finds out!

    Masterpiece from Mattighofen:
    Owner of the last available batch. May 2023 KTM 250 Duke, Ebony Black.
    1. Amazing suspension. 10/10 Superb would be an understatement.
    2. Excellent ABS.
    3. Beautiful exhaust note. Great and very reliable engine and exhaust. Brilliant electronics.
    4. Top notch build quality. You see it in person and you will be blown away! (if it's a clean bike)
    5. The 250 is such an amazing engine for the duality it offers. It can be super snappy / agile or very relaxed! A gem of an engine. Refined for sure. It is both a cruiser and a sports bike!
    6. Great brakes. The front brake is brilliant. 9.5/10 (better pads can help!) AMAZING!

    When I did test ride of Duke 250 yesterday, it was stalling in 1st and 2nd gear. Did you notice this? I felt an absolute lack of power and need to twist to throttle more to move the bike from super low speeds. Rest of the power band is awesome. Please confirm

      they’re both suitable for both those - they’re differentiated with their character, speed is calmer and easier at low speeds while the duke is angrier and wants to be ridden hard
