    2024 KTM 250 Duke LaunchDespite all the added features, 2024 KTM 250 Duke continues to be powered by the same 249 cc engine with 29.5 bhp and 25 Nm of performance
    Iconic sporty motorcycle manufacturer, KTM, has been sprucing up its lineup in India. After a few speculations and spy shots, KTM launched the updated 200 Duke in India for a starting price of Rs 2.05 lakh (Ex-sh). Now, the company has done something similar with 2024 KTM 250 Duke. Let’s take a look.
    2024 KTM 250 Duke
    The updated 250 Duke has been launched in India, rather silently, similar to the company’s strategy with 200 Duke. There has been a few features added with the new 2024 KTM 250 Duke to keep it competitive against rivals like Bajaj Dominar 250, among others.

    Launch price for 2024 KTM 250 Duke is Rs 2.41 lakh (Ex-sh), which is a slight increment as opposed to the model it replaces. Price difference between new and old model is within a couple of thousand rupees and is determined by the added features this updated model brings to the table, as opposed to its predecessor.
    Updated model brings improvement in features list and equipment, making it a better proposition than before. This could be a good thing to boost sales around the festive season, which seems to be the same strategy for the just launched 200 Duke as well.

    Where features upgrade are concerned, updated 2024 KTM 250 Duke comes equipped with the same 5-inch colour TFT instrument screen as 390 Duke and recently, 200 Duke. This instrument screen. Company calls it bonded glass TFT dashboard and it supports Bluetooth connectivity with app support enabling music control and navigation.
    This display replaces the less sophisticated LCD unit, which also supported navigation. With the addition of this TFT dashboard, KTM has provided a 4-way menu controls on left switchgear too. Apart from this, updated 250 Duke gets the same LED DRLs as larger 390 Duke, which increases its design appeal among buyers.

    What else does it get?
    Apart from these aforementioned updates, there doesn’t seem to be any other changes with this motorcycle. KTM has retained rest of its componentry as is. So, we still get all the goodies like USD telescopic front forks, off-set mono-shock suspension setup, 17-inch alloy wheels, fancy banana-shaped swingarm, underbelly exhaust and single disc brakes at both ends with dual-channel ABS, among others.
    Powertrain is the same 248cc DOHC 4V single-cylinder liquid cooled engine as before, generating 29.5 bhp of peak power and 25 Nm of peak torque. This engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox along with a slip and assist clutch.

    New KTM 250 Adventure Spied Before Launch – Details Revealed

    New KTM 250 Adventure SpiedThe same 249 cc DOHC 4V single-cylinder engine with 30 bhp and 25 Nm, mated to a 6-speed gearbox will power new KTM 250 Adventure
    Expanding its lineup, KTM has been working on development of a multitude of products. The company is set to unveil 390 Adventure R, 390 Enduro R and 390 SMC R at 2024 EICMA show. However, there are new developments in KTM’s 250 platform, which have been revealed through the latest spy shots.
    We’re talking about the new KTM 250 Adventure spied ahead of launch, which sheds light on expected changes over current model. With a multitude of changes, upcoming 250 Adventure will rival the likes of Yezdi Adventure, Kawasaki KLX 230 S and to some extent, upcoming Hero Xpulse 210 with Karizma engine.

    New KTM 250 Adventure
    Currently, KTM offers its Adventure lineup with 250 and 390 platforms. Both 250 Adventure and 390 Adventure are offered with the older design that debuted a long time ago. There have been multiple test mules of 2025 KTM 390 Adventure which features a brand new design language.
    This upcoming vehicle is a lot more edgier than current model. The recently spotted 2025 KTM 250 Adventure gets similar design too, but underpinned by the same engine as current 250 Duke. As seen in these spy shots, KTM has carried over its edgy design language we saw with upcoming 390 Adventure.

    However, there are a few elements that will easily differentiate 390 Adventure from 250 Adventure. For starters, 250 Adventure lacks LED DRLs, something which 390 Adventure gets. Other than that, 250 Adventure lacks the colour TFT screen that we have seen with new generation 390 Duke launched in India.
    This is slightly interesting because smaller and less expensive 200 Duke gets the same TFT screen as 390 Duke, but 250 Adventure is deprived of it. In its place, we get a less-flashy unit, which can be navigated via controls on the left switchgear. Other than these changes, new KTM 250 Adventure seems to be packing slightly skinnier tyres than the 2025 390 Adventure.

    ORVM stalks on 250 Adventure look similar to the ones seen on Pulsar NS400Z and Dominar models. Wheels are of wire-spoke design and looks like they are 19-inchers at the front and 18-inchers at the rear. We hope these are tubeless types. This is the first time KTM is offering wire-spoke wheels on 250 Adventure.
    Engine specs, Features
    We expect 250 Adventure to retain the same 249 cc DOHC 4V single-cylinder engine as current model. Around 30 bhp of peak power and 25 Nm of peak torque is expected out of this engine. A 6-speed gearbox and a slip and assist clutch will be offered. More details will be revealed in the future.
