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 250 Duke

Pros

  • Updated 249 cc engine with 30.57 bhp and 25 Nm of torque, providing a smooth and engaging ride
  • Significant weight reduction of 8 kg, improving agility and handling
  • Advanced features like a 5-inch LCD screen, Bluetooth connectivity, ride-by-wire, and quick-shifter

Cons

  • Vibrations noticeable between 4500 to 5500 rpm, particularly during highway cruising
  • Stiff ride quality despite increased suspension travel, which may be uncomfortable on rough roads
  • Pillion seat could benefit from better padding for longer rides

Verdict

The KTM 250 Duke gets design inspired by the KTM 1290 Super Duke. The motorcycle also gets a dual-channel supermoto ABS mode. The 250 Duke continues to be powered by a BS6 compliant 248.8 cc single-cylinder engine which makes 30.50 bhp of power at 9250 rpm and 25 Nm of peak torque at 7250 rpm. In terms of rivals, it goes up against the Suzuki Gixxer 250 and its sibling, the Husqvarna 250 Twins. It is one of best options in the 250 cc naked sport motorcycles.
