      2020 KTM Duke 250 Prices Increased – Gets Switchable ABS, LED Headlight

      by

      The updates have added around INR 4k to the 250 Duke’s price tag
      The first pictures of updated KTM 250 Duke with full LED headlamp emerged online last week. We also brought you the information about its pricing. KTM India has now made an official announcement in this regard. The quarter liter street fighter is priced at INR 2,09,280 (ex-showroom, Delhi).
      The upgrades

      The most obvious upgrade is the LED headlamp which is a direct lift-off from the 390 Duke. The inverted trident shaped unit looks racy and is claimed to have better illumination compared to the 250’s old halogen unit.
      The 2020 KTM 250 Duke BS6 also gets ‘Supermoto‘ ABS mode which has also been derived from its bigger engined sibling. In Supermoto mode, the dual-channel ABS will function as a single-channel unit by modulating the brake pressure only at the front, leaving the rear brake pressure control entirely with the rider. Skilled riders would appreciate this while riding hard in a controlled environment.

      Another noteworthy addition to the 2020 BS6 250 Duke is the one-touch start function made possible by what KTM calls as contactless cranking. The feature is claimed to improve cold starts. The updated motorcycle also features two new liveries Dark Galvano and Silver Metallic.
      Specifications at a glance
      The 2020 KTM 250 Duke BS6 is positioned between the 200 Duke and 390 Duke to strike a fine balance between performance and affordability. The motorcycle which is made in India for select markets is powered by a 249 cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled motor which is paired to a 6-speed transmission. The power and torque figures stand at 30 hp and 24 Nm respectively. The 250 Duke is more powerful than its segment rivals Yamaha FZ25, Suzuki Gixxer 250 and the newly launched Bajaj Dominar 250. The Dominar 250 shares its engine with the Duke but at INR 1.60 lakh (ex-showroom), it is considerably cheaper.

      Being the most premium product in its segment, the KTM 250 Duke is equipped with trellis frame, WP inverted telescopic front and monoshock rear suspension, dual-channel ABS, slipper clutch, 17-inch alloy wheels with 110 front and 150 rear (section) tyres. While the 390 offers a color TFT instrument console, the 250 makes do with a fully digital amber-backlit unit in the interest of cost saving.
      The new updates come at a mild inflation of around INR 4k compared to the BS6 update earlier this year. We think the LED headlamp, switchable rear ABS, one-touch start and the new liveries will enhance the motorcycle’s appeal significantly. The new version has already started reaching showrooms across the country. More

      KTM 250 Duke gets LED headlight from Duke 390 – Spy Shots

      by

      There are no other changes on the quarter liter street fighter except the full LED headlamp
      When KTM introduced the new 390 Duke with upmarket equipment, it also introduced a 250 cc variant with a few cost cutting measures to cater to select markets including India. The bigger-engined Duke with its configurable color TFT display and a sharp looking full LED headlamp positions itself as a premium medium displacement street fighter, the 250 with halogen lamp (plus LED DRLs) and amber-backlit LCD instrument console has a mid-premium appeal to it. Well, not anymore.

      The 2020 KTM 250 Duke with updated full LED headlamps just like the one of 390 Duke has been spied. It looks like the new version has already started reaching dealer stockyards in the country. The naked bike which received its BS6 update earlier this year retails at a little over INR 2 lakh (ex-showroom) but the headlamp update is likely to inflate the price even further. We expect to know more in the coming days. The instrument console, however, continues to be a simple digital unit.
      The new full LED headlamp units is identical to the one on the 390 Duke. In fact, the entire Europe-spec Duke family employs the same unit in international market including the entry level 125 cc variant. The sharp looking unit is bifurcated vertically and alights with the brand’s latest design identity. Hat tip to auto enthusiast Miraj and Akshay for sharing the details with us.

      2020 KTM 250 Duke at a glance
      There seem to be no other changes to the India-spec 2020 KTM 250 Duke. The quarter liter motorcycle continues to be underpinned by steel trellis frame, WP upside front forks, WP rear monoshock, and 17-inch wheels with 110 mm (section) front and 150 mm rear tyres. Braking system comprises a 300 mm front and 230 mm rear disc by ByBre which are governed by Bosch dual-channel ABS (can be switched off).
      Power comes from a liquid-cooled 249 cc single-cylinder engine which is mated to a 6-speed gearbox via a assist and slipper clutch. The motor produces an impressive 30 hp and 24 Nm of torque.

      New KTM Duke 250 with LED headlamp
      The 2020 KTM 250 Duke rivals the Yamaha FZS 25 and Suzuki Gixxer 250 in India. Both the competitors recently received BS6 updates and are priced significantly lower than the Duke but they are also significantly low on power output.
      The lockdown has forced all OEMs including Bajaj to suspend product temporarily and this has resulted in delivery delays. We expect the LED headlamp equipped 250 Duke to be officially launched in the coming weeks with a noticeable bump in price tag. More
