Expert's Opinion on 250 Duke
Overview

The quarter-litre Duke
- The KTM 250 Duke is a quarter-litre streetfighter from the Austrian manufacturer
- It’s latest variant comes with a refreshed design with sharp design elements
- The 250 Duke gets a more refined and powerful engine as compared to the previous model
- It rivals the other 250cc bikes like the Suzuki Gixxer 250, Bajaj Pulsar N250 and Bajaj Dominar 250
Design

Sleek & Sharp Looks
- Comes with sharp and aggressive looks inspired by the bigger 390 Duke
- The 250 Duke has long and sharp fuel tank extensions
- It was recently updated with LED DRLs from the Duke 390
- Available in 3 colours: Slate Grey, Metallic Silver and Ebony Black
- A few panel gaps can be noticed on a closer look
- Its loud and bold design language may not appeal to everyone
Performance & Mileage

Powerful Sweet Engine
- The 250 Duke comes with a more powerful and refined 249cc engine
- The engine is pretty lively and rev-happy, and provides thrilling performance
- Its throttle is super responsive and provides instant acceleration as soon as you twist it
- 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

Nimble and Agile
- The bike’s handling has been improved a lot than before, thanks to the new trellis frame
- It is light weight, 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 inclusion of a switchable rear Super moto ABS allows for controlled slides while riding off-road
- The rear tyre may step out on aggressive lean angles or high-speed corners
Ride Quality

Sporty Yet Relaxed
- The suspensions work nicely to absorb small bumps and potholes, delivering a comfortable ride
- Even after being so lightweight, the 250 Duke stays stable at high speeds on the highways
- It stands as a practical streetfighter that offers a good ride quality, balancing comfort and performance
Comfort & Storage

Suitable for city commutes
- Being a naked bike, it offers a comfortable and relaxed riding posture
- The seat is spacious and comfortable for short as well as long rides alike
- At 800mm, it has a decent seat height, suitable for riders of all heights
- 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

Shared from the Bigger Sibling
- The Duke 250 gets a new 5-inch TFT instrument cluster and switchgear from the 390 Duke
- Has turn-by-turn navigation, call/SMS alerts ride-by-wire throttle, bi-directional quickshifter lap timer & more
- It gets 2 display modes for the console: Street and Track
- Comes with an all-LED lighting setup with a similar headlight and DRLs as the 390 Duke
Verdict

Is the KTM 250 Duke worth it?
- The 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
- 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
