The all rounder of ktm

1 week ago by Somu666 views

Compared to other 250cc vehicles ktm is slightly priced on the higher side but it's definitely worth the price. The riding experience is so good the initial torque is awesome. The bike will thrive you to rev the engine always. The ground clearance is so low you face a lot of issues with speed breakers. The looks of this vehicle are awesome, especially the new headlight similar to duke 390 looks awesome. I have clocked a top speed of 150kmph. Service maintenance is quite manageable but fuel efficiency is less in the city. It gives you around 25-28 kmpl in the city and 30-32 on the highway. Make sure to go for a test ride before you buy because of the seat height you have to be at least 5’8 to handle this bike.
Pros
New led headlight
Powerful engine
Cheap to maintain
Cons
Doesn’t get TFT instrument cluster
Fuel efficiency is less
Very low ground clearance

Tips for KTM 250 Duke

Maintain required tyre pressure always 29 psi at the front and 32 psi at the rear. Better to service every 5000 kms after the first service. Lubricate your chain every 500km.

Looks & comfort: I feel the duke 250 speaks for itself in this area, it's the best looking bike in the market after the duke 390 according to me.

I didn't buy this bike at all. I took this bike on a rent to a short tour.
It was an excellent bike for tour. I had travelled around 200 kilometer at an average speed of 90-100+
It has attractive looks that black and red are so dope. It was an excellent performance by bike
Servicing the bike is the main task to maintain a bike like a model it was very good to maintain a bike

The bike, if riding in higher gears and lower rpms up until 6000-7000 rpm will give you about 25 km/l to 27 km/l in the city and 29 km/l to 31 km/l on a highway ride. Looks & comfort i feel the duke 250 speaks for itself in this area, it's the best looking bike in the market after the duke 390 according to me the ktm duke 250 is a reliable powerhouse bike, with its naked-bike approach catering to speedsters. The trellis-like frame adds the imposing touch that epitomizes all ktm duke bikes selling in the country. It has a black and orange dual-shaded finishing with 250 written in big letters super and addictive for mad riders that's the power of 250. Power is always with ktm duke 250

Bike performance and speed is very good
Riding experience is very good for highway
Bike looks sexy and performance is too good
Servicing is too bad, i was riding my bike on highway to 30-40 kms and my bike to hit small pothole and my bikes alloys broke.
Bike performance is very good but bike build quality is not good. It has bad quality of parts.

KTM 250 Duke First Ride Review

08 April 2017

Ranjan R. Bhat

The KTM Duke range has always been a hacksaw in a world of kitchen knives. The 200 Duke and 390 Duke redefined our perception of performance and lightness. They stood apart from the herd of commuter bikes, and ushered in a new reality for enthusiasts. However, while a...

2017 KTM 250 Duke : Track Ride Review

01 March 2017

Omkar Thakur

It is the KTM 250 Duke – the new addition to the KTM lineup that sits between the 200 and the 390. It is built like a Duke 390 but gets a smaller motor and fewer things off the equipment list.
