KTM Duke 125 Vs Duke 200 Vs Duke 250 - Comparison

Find out which KTM motorcycle amongst the trio suits your daily needs and purposes as we compare them on the basis of price, specs and design

KTM’s two-wheeler lineup currently consists of the entry-level Duke 125, Duke 200, Duke 250 and their flagship offering the Duke 390 along with fairing version RC390. The recently launched entry-level Duke 125 has helped the Austrian two-wheeler manufacturer expand their reach to those customers who could not afford a KTM motorcycle until now mostly because of their steep pricing.

We have compared the Duke 125, Duke 200 and the Duke 250 earlier on the basis of their design and engine but today we will be comparing the trio based on their price and specs and also explaining which motorcycle will suit your needs:

1. KTM Duke 125

The Duke 125 is powered by a 124.7 cc single-cylinder motor that produces about 14.3 bhp of peak power at 9,250 rpm and peak torque of 12 Nm at 8,000 rpm. The engine is paired to a 6-speed gearbox.

The KTM Duke 125 has also received many segment-first features including a trellis frame, aluminium swingarm, 43 mm upside down forks at the front and a 10-step adjustable monoshock unit at the rear. The motorcycle also features a 300 mm disc at the front and a 230 mm disc at the rear. A single channel ABS comes as standard. The motorcycle has a kerb weight of 149 kilograms and a ground clearance of 175 mm.

The KTM Duke 125 will appeal to those buyers who are concerned more about fuel efficiency and comfortable ergonomics over outright performance. Besides that, the Duke 125 will also appeal to those buyers who love to own a performance-oriented 125cc motorcycle.

2. KTM Duke 200

Price: Rs 1.67 Lakh (ex-showroom)

KTM has recently updated the Duke 200 with a single channel ABS system for the safety of the rider. The motorcycle features antilock brakes sourced from Bosch. Besides the addition of the new antilock brakes, KTM has not made any other cosmetic or mechanical changes to the motorcycle though.

The Duke 200 still continues to be powered by the same 199.5 cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine which produces about 24.6 bhp of peak power at 10,000 rpm and 19.2 Nm of peak torque at 8000 rpm. The engine is paired with a 6-speed gearbox. The suspension duties of the motorcycle are carried by a 43 mm upside-down WP fork upfront and monoshock unit at the rear.

Specs KTM Duke 200
Engine Single cylinder, liquid cooled
Displacement 199.5 cc
Power 25 bhp @ 10,000 rpm
Torque 19.2 Nm @ 8,000 rpm
Gearbox 6 speed

The braking duties of the motorcycle are handled by a 300 mm disc brake up front and 230 mm disc brake at the rear sourced from Bybre. The motorcycle also gets a 17-inch alloy wheel wrapped with MRF tyres. The Duke200 will appeal to those who love to own a premium entry-level performance oriented motorcycle. Twist the throttle and the Duke 200 will respond to the rider call on the open road while it can also perform equally well in the congested city traffic.

3. KTM Duke 250

Price: Rs. 1.94 Lakh (ex-showroom)

KTM Duke 250 India Launch Price Engine Features Top Speed Mileage

 

KTM has introduced the updated Duke 250 with a dual channel ABS in India recently. This is the only motorcycle in the KTM lineup after the Duke 390 to receive a dual channel ABS unit (KTM is charging an additional Rs 13,000 more than the non-ABS variant). The Duke 250 is powered by a 248cc, liquid cooled single cylinder engine which is capable of producing about 30 bhp of peak power at 9,000 rpm and 24 Nm of peak torque at 7,500 rpm.

Specs KTM Duke 250
Engine Single cylinder, liquid cooled
Displacement 248.8 cc
Power 31 bhp @ 9000 rpm
Torque 24 Nm @ 7,500 rpm
Gearbox 6 speed

The engine is paired with a 6-speed gearbox and also gets a slipper clutch as standard. Unfortunately, the Duke 250 does not feature LED headlamps, ride-by-wire throttle, advanced TFT console and Metzeler tyres like the flagship Duke 390. The KTM Duke 250 perfectly bridges the gap in between the Duke 200 and the Duke 390 and will attract the attention of those buyers who do not have the budget or do not want to spend almost Rs. 2.43 Lakh for a motorcycle.
