KTM has revamped its entire single-cylinder Duke series, with the 390 Duke receiving the most significant changes. The smaller models have been completely redesigned, boasting new looks, components, and electronics.
The 2024 KTM 390 DUKE stands out visually from the rest of the single-cylinder DUKE line-up. It comes in striking Electronic Orange and Atlantic Blue colour options. The bike features longer tank spoilers with prominent air intakes, larger radiator covers, and external LED positioning lights. The bike is powered by an all-new lightweight 399 cc single-cylinder LC4c engine. This engine is not only lighter and more powerful than its predecessor, but it also brings EURO 5+ compatibility to the KTM 390 DUKE.
The 2024 KTM 390 DUKE features a 43 mm WP APEX Open Cartridge front fork with a 5-click adjustment on rebound and compression and a split piston rear shock absorber with adjustable rebound and preload. This allows riders to customise the handling to their preference.
The bike comes with a new 5” TFT display and selectable ride modes. The default setting is STREET Mode, with RAIN Mode available for less aggressive throttle response in adverse weather conditions. Cornering MTC comes as standard equipment.
For the first time, the KTM 390 DUKE comes with a TRACK screen. This feature unlocks a world of hooliganism, an enlarged RPM display, launch control for that perfect start, and even a lap timer.
The 2024 KTM 250 DUKE has a slim and compact silhouette, thanks to smaller tank spoilers compared to the KTM 390 DUKE. It features painted headlight surrounds and a lower seat height. The bike comes with a new 5” LCD, LED headlight, and all-new Electronic Orange and Ceramic White colour options.
The bike also features an improved power-to-weight ratio over the previous generation, with a new Single overhead cam (SOHC) design that is lighter and simpler with fewer components, ride-by-wire, and a power assist slipper clutch.
Suspension is handled by a non-adjustable 43 mm WP APEX Open Cartridge big piston fork setup with 150 mm of travel, and a WP APEX Emulsion shock absorber, with preload adjustability on the rear.
While it might be at the entry level of the KTM Naked range, the KTM 125 DUKE dominates the small-capacity engine segment. It boasts of a powerful 125 cc engine, exceptional electronics, and WP APEX suspension that lift it to new heights.
Visually, it sets itself apart from the rest of the small DUKE range with all-new Electronic Orange and Atlantic Blue colour options, painted headlight surround housing an ultra-bright LED headlight, and compact tank spoilers.
Electronically, it shares its 5” TFT display with the KTM 390 DUKE. It also offers an option of TRACK screen selection and Cornering ABS as standard. A refined ride-by-wire system and Automatic Turn Indicator Reset complete the package.
The bike also features a non-adjustable front fork with 150 mm travel and a separate piston shock absorber with tool-adjustable preload. Currently, the 125 Duke, 250 Duke and 390 Duke are priced at Rs 1,78,892, Rs 2,38,221 and Rs 2,97,475 respectively.
