Thankfully the premium isn’t a dealbreaker

In the wake of the incoming BS6.2 emission norms, KTM India has updated its entire lineup to be OBD2 compliant. However, these greener engines have also resulted in price hikes across the range, meaning you’ll need to pay more “green” to go green.

Models	Pre OBD	New Prices	Hike
KTM 125 Duke	Rs 1,78,041	Rs 1,78,892	Rs 851
KTM 390 Duke	Rs 2,96,230	Rs 2,97,475	Rs 1,245
KTM 250 Duke	Rs 2,37,222	Rs 2,38,221	Rs 999
KTM 200 Duke	Rs 1,91,693	Rs 1,92,845	Rs 1,152
KTM 390 Adventure	Rs 3,37,043	Rs 3,38,746	Rs 1,703
KTM 250 Adventure	Rs 2,44,205	Rs 2, 46,651	Rs 2,446
KTM RC 390	Rs 3,16,070	Rs 3,18,173	Rs 2,103
KTM RC 125	Rs 1,88,640	Rs 1,89,542	Rs 902
KTM RC 200	Rs 2,14,688	Rs 2,17,696	Rs 3,008

Fortunately, the price increases aren't substantial enough to negatively influence customers' purchasing decisions, given the highest hike is Rs 3,008 (for the KTM RC 200). While this is a little on the higher side, it is fair given that the new tech allows emission levels to be monitored in real-time, in addition to the performance and versatility the RC 200 offers. The KTM 125 Duke experienced the lowest price increase – of only Rs 851– which is a good move as it is the most affordable bike under the brand's umbrella.

In related news, KTM recently unveiled the 390 Adventure X, an affordable variant of the 390 Adventure. Check out its launch story to know why it costs almost Rs 60K less than the standard variant.
