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.
