- It smoothly rides through the city roads but the real fun starts when you hit an open patch or highway
- The engine is pretty versatile and can easily tour at around 100 - 120kmph with a good mileage
- It returned us a mileage of about 36 to 38kmpl on the highway
- The peaky nature of the engine dulls down in lower RPMs, making low-speed commutes less enjoyable
Handling

- The bike’s handling has been improved a lot than before, thanks to the new trellis frame
- It is lightweight, easily flickable and fun to ride around corners
- The naked bike delivers a good braking performance, and comes to a stop from 100kmph in just 4.05 seconds

- The footpegs are slightly rear-set
- Taller riders may feel their legs be a bit cramped on the bike
- There is a lot of windblast at triple-digit speeds due to the absence of a visor
- The high-set pillion seat may be slightly uncomfortable for the passenger
Features

- Comes with an all-LED lighting setup with a similar headlight and DRLs as the 390 Duke
Verdict

- The 2024 KTM 250 Duke is now more exciting and refined than before, offering a true KTM experience without the manic performance of the 390 Duke
- It's a great choice for riders who want a thrilling street fighter but without the extreme performance of the 390 Duke
- Priced at Rs 2.41 lakh (ex-showroom), it's one of the most expensive 250cc bikes in the market, competing with bigger and more powerful bikes like the Triumph Speed 400, Harley Davidson X440, etc for a similar price
Key Things to Know about 250 Duke
- Looks Stunning, Quickshifter is really smooth, Exciting yet tractable engine
