KTM India has launched a new top-spec variant of its smallest offering in the country, the 160 Duke. The highlight of this variant is the addition of a 5-inch colour TFT instrument display that brings Bluetooth connectivity and navigation support. The new variant is priced at Rs 1,78,536 (ex-showroom, Delhi), making it Rs 7,991 more expensive than the standard 160 Duke, which continues to be sold at Rs 1,70,545 and comes equipped with an LCD instrument cluster.

The TFT display is borrowed from the 390 Duke and is shared across the sub-400cc models in the brand’s lineup. It functions via the switch cube located on the left side of the handlebar and supports KTM’s My Ride connectivity suite. When paired with a smartphone, the system allows riders to access turn-by-turn navigation, manage incoming calls, control music, and view headset pairing information directly on the screen. The display also shows ride mode selection and related system prompts.
