Question 2

Q. Duke 200 vs 250 which one better to Buy ?

Answer

The 250 Duke is quicker off the line, and mid-range punch is particularly strong, with performance tapering off at the top of the rev range rather expectedly. Cross 4000rpm and the motor buzzes to life, accelerating hard. On the other hand the new engine sounds calmer, less loud and more mature than the 200’s raspy sound. We are yet to test the bike for performance, but the 250 Duke feels quicker than the 200 Duke by a fair margin. In-gear acceleration is quicker – a mere twist of the throttle is required to overtake at most times thanks to its close gear ratios, courtesy the bigger rear sprocket. KTM couldn’t confirm the difference but the 250’s sprocket is bigger than the 200’s. The engine feels refined, with just a hint of vibration from the footpegs which never really got distracting. The 250 Duke also felt more relaxed and comfortable cruising at triple digit speeds, as the higher torque output lets the engine spin at lower revs than the 200 Duke at speeds of 100-120kmph, which should make it a better tourer. The 250 Duke misses out on the 390’s ride-by-wire but throttle response is quick thanks to the quick-revving engine and corners exits thanks to the response and the torquey mill are quick.

Question 3

Q. Which is better Duke 250 & Ktm rc 200?

Answer

The RC 200 has set the bar quite high for the entry-level sports bike segment. The committed ergonomics might not be everyone’s cup of tea but if you are looking for cornering dynamics with an added dose of power but are on a budget, your search ends here. Whereas, KTM 200 Duke has been the benchmark bike of its segment and still remains so. If you’re looking for a bike that offers great acceleration, loves to corner and has a hooligan nature, the 200 Duke is the bike for you and a great option for someone entering the world of performance bikes. The only grouse we have with the KTM 200 Duke is its super stiff ride quality and the fact that ABS isn’t offered even as an option.

Answer

Bro the answer to your question is two foldIf you want superb style with committed race ergonomics go for the rc but remember that a pillion on the rc is not too comfortable so if like me u take girls or as in my case a girlfriend on your bike daily the duke 250 is perfect for you as it has both an awesome design as well as comfortable ergonomics which girls do not complain a lot about .So long story short if u have an girlfriend go for the duke 250 trust me u will thank me later or if you are into racing and supermoto style definitely go for the rc 200 also the cooling is far better on the duke 250than on the rc 200 Good luck with your bike ride safe and wear a helmet

Answer

Ever since its debut, the KTM 200 Duke has been the benchmark bike of its segment and still remains so. If you’re looking for a bike that offers great acceleration, loves to corner and has a hooligan nature, the 200 Duke is the bike for you and a great option for someone entering the world of performance bikes. The only grouse we have with the KTM 200 Duke is its super stiff ride quality and the fact that ABS isn’t offered even as an option. On the other hand, the 2017 KTM 250 Duke is for someone who finds the new 390 Duke too expensive. It gets modern styling, powerful motor and top-spec cycle parts but the lack of ABS even as an option is disappointing.

Question 4

Q. Is Duke 250 ABS worth buying? I heard there were issue with air intake and pick up of the bike and there were other issues with engine sound too. Many suggest to go for a Duke 200 or 390 than 250. I am confused. I can't afford 390. My purpose is for daily commute.

Answer

As of now, we haven't faced any issues regarding the air intake, engine sound and pickup of the bike. Moreover, the bike issues generally occur due to the factors like improper maintenance of the bike, riding conditions, rough riding style and use of the unauthorised spare parts.If you are still unsure about the bike, we would suggest you to take a test ride of the Duke 250 as it would definitely clarify your doubts about the bike.Click here for the dealership: https://www.zigwheels.com/bikes/dealers/Ktm

Question 5

Q. Which is better between Duke 250 and 390?

Answer

The 250 Duke sits in a comfortable spot in the KTM India lineup. Pricewise the 200 Duke retails at Rs 1.49 (ex-showroom, Delhi) while the 390 Duke costs Rs 2.39 lakh. The 250 Duke, at Rs 1.78 lakh, cost just 29,000 more than the 200 Duke. So if you can stretch your budget by that much, the 250 Duke is the way to go. The 390 Duke meanwhile, sits in a different segment altogether with its higher price difference, more power and features. The KTM 390 Duke has always come across as a value for money product and the new variant takes the VFM quotient a notch up as it looks a lot more irresistible now. It gets an LED headlight unit and colour display that we like a lot and also handles beautifully with its aptly tuned suspension setup. Also, while it may not be as quick as the earlier 390, it certainly is a lot more refined. The 390 Duke is a wild beast and is meant for a lot more experienced riders and thrill seekers. The 250 Duke trades the KTM's rortiness for refinement, and we think, is all the better for it. It makes a compelling prospect if you are looking for a premium, comfortable and dynamic runaround on a budget under Rs two lakh. When it comes to the best you can buy in this price range, the KTM 250 Duke is there at the very top.

Answer

When it comes to daily commute facing the real traffic on a daily basis - Duke 250 has only 1 advantage which is shorter handlebar which makes it easier to do cutting and riding zig zag leaving behind others and easily overtaking fellow riders/drivers. Advantage which Duke 390 has is basically dual channel abs which helps you a lot in emergency braking conditions and is much safer option.. on top of it... It is more powerpacked.. It has enhanced TFT display and Bluetooth connectivity which gives you an ease of changing songs, increasing & decreasing volume.. receiving and declining calls from the handlebar itself.. in city traffic its slow moving traffic and its a big hassle to frequently operate your phone wether you have to receive calls.. disconnect existing call or even decline the call... With the help of TFT display you get to know who is calling... wether or not to receive call and you can do all sorts of stuff from the handlebar itself without removing your hands off from the throttle, clutch or brakes. But the only disadvantage is a broad handlebar... RC390 and other bikes have a really short handlebar which helps them to just overtake from a narrow path between two vehicles whereas Duke390 might fail to do so...

Answer

If you need to ride on highways for longer distance with more power then you can go for KTM Duke 390 whereas if you needed to ride the motorcycle more in the city traffic and needed a good mileage then suggest you can go for KTM Duke 200.

Question 6

Q. Which one is best between Duke 250 or Dominor 400 2019 model?

Answer

Both bikes are awesome for city ride or highway ride. But, I prefer duke 250 because duke 250 have power and advanced function which is usable. And Dominar 400 have only power but not any function. Duke 250 have many types of censors and life saving equipment such as when the bike is suddenly dropped then the bike is automatically offs the engine. Another example is that the transport lock. Your bike is safe with this feature. Anyone who have the key of the Bike, then the guy can on the bike but, not the engine. By this feature, your bike is safe. The difference between duke 250 and Dominar 400 in power is only of 5 PS. Duke 250 have 30 PS power whereas, Dominar 400 have 35 PS. Then, Why we will comprise in buying the best bike with advance features. Dominar 400 is extra 45 KG as compared to Duke 250 weight. I hope my answer is useful to you.

Answer

My choice is Duke 250. Here is a quick comparison between Duke250 and Dominar400Engine CC : Duke250 (249cc) & Dominar (373cc)Power : 30ps @ 9000rpm + 24Nm of Torque vs. 39psPower to weight ratio : 196ps per ton vs 212ps per tonWeight : 153Kgs vs. 184kgsMileage : 25kmpl in city and 31kmpl on highways vs. 28kmpl in city and 32kmpl on highwaysTank Capacity : 13.5 litre tank with zero unusable reserve (can use every drop of fuel while riding long distances) vs. 13 litre tank with 2.8litres of unusable reserve (effectively can use only 10.2 litres of fuel !!)

Answer

Actually it depends on the people. If you want a bike with great power and performance you can go for Duke250 and when it comes to mileage also Duke 250 takes one step ahead of dominor. If you are a person who loves to go for long Rides regularly you can choose Dominor but that doesn't mean you can't go for a long ride in Duke 250, more comfortable is Dominor. The weight is more in Dominor, you may struggle for U turns, you can easily handle Duke 250 in a traffic and filter through it. When it comes to price, Dominor is value for money.
