Pros Cons of KTM 125 Duke

Pros

  • Sharp Styling
  • Premium components and build
  • Dynamic handling

Cons

  • Pricey for its performance
  • Stiff suspension
  • Rivals offer better value

Verdict

The 125 Duke offers similar road presence, fantastic road manners and a suitably entertaining personality for young riders to hone their skills to graduate to bigger and more performance oriented bikes. And being a 125 cc, it may well be passed off as a relatively 'safe' option, at least while convincing the parent. Considering the KTM 200 Duke is at least ₹ 30,000 more expensive, the 125 Duke certainly offers a relatively affordable and accessible entry into the KTM family.

Pros Cons KTM RC 200

Pros

  • Improved aerodynamics with a more efficient design, reducing drag and enhancing top speed
  • Lighter chassis and 3.3 kg weight reduction, providing better handling and agility
  • Comfortable riding posture with raised handlebars, making it more suitable for daily commuting

Cons

  • The front brake lacks aggressive bite, even with the larger 320 mm disc
  • The LCD console feels outdated compared to TFT screens offered in higher variants
  • The price point (Rs 2.09 lakh ex-showroom) is on the higher side for the 200cc segment

Verdict

The 2022 KTM RC 200 brings a host of updates that make it a more refined and user-friendly sports bike, perfect for both city use and occasional track days. With improved ergonomics, a lighter chassis, and better aerodynamics, it delivers a thrilling ride. However, the lack of a more aggressive braking feel and a TFT display may leave some wanting more. Despite these minor drawbacks, the RC 200 remains a well-rounded package for riders looking for an entertaining and sharp motorcycle in the 200cc class.
