    With the BS6 update, the exhaust end can on the new 250 Duke now lies underneath the bike instead of the side as seen on the previous model. Due to that, the ground clearance has dropped from 175mm to 151mm. To compensate for this, KTM has equipped a small bash plate, but if we were you, we would be extra cautious now. For a better understanding of compatibility and riding comfort, we would suggest you to take a test ride. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership.

    Yes you can ride it like a normal bike. I have travelled 3000km on my new bike. And for most the speed breakers the groud clearneacce is enough.only in case of big illegal sizes of speed breaks that we see in galli of india the guard below touches the ground.but i drive slow at speed breakers and avoid huge damage and also i takr my bike cross on speed breaker to avoid the touching of gaurd to ground.i found this an issue but not a very major issue.

    In my experience, there are no issues when riding solo, but with a pillion there is a bit of scraping, so just be careful over big bumps when riding with a pillion.

    I own duke250 bs62023 model.It's good to ride in both city and highway.It is very comfortable.It give an mileage of around 30km to 35km.It's an refined engine unlike duke200 and 390 where the initial pickup is not that aggressive.Free services cost around 1800.It has an sexiest design which grabs attention in public and the build quality is perfect.
