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 390

Pros

  • Sharply styled
  • High on performance & handling
  • Extremely value-friendly

Cons

  • Polarising new design
  • Finish could be better
  • Too compact for taller riders

Verdict

The next-generation KTM RC 390 has become more accessible and friendlier so even if you’re upgrading from a smaller bike, the new KTM RC 390 is comfortable to ride. With the new updates, it has become a bike that is more suited for everyday use, and for a minority of users who want to cut their teeth on a racetrack, it still offers a capable and potent track tool. Prices though have gone up by ₹ 36,000, it still makes a very strong case as a performance-oriented and well-equipped sports bike.
