Engine
Boasting the latest generation in LC4c engines, the KTM 250 DUKE muscles up with more power, smoother acceleration, and lighter overall weight than before. Drawing from years of experience in the small engine game, the KTM 250 DUKE now also features an improved gearbox, and an optimized cylinder head. Oh, and did we mention it is also READY TO RACE? |
LED Lighting
Tearing a deep gash into the night, all KTM DUKE models come equipped with powerful LED lights in the front and at the rear. Not only do these work when the world becomes dark, but they also provide improved visibility when navigating busy traffic or misty road conditions. |

ALL-IN AGILITY
Frame
The design features a 2-piece construction composed of a steel trellis main frame with a pressure die-cast aluminum subframe. The rear shock absorber is mounted off-center to allow for the large airbox which allows for the lower seat height and, at the same time, adding to the DUKE's aggressive stance. Not only designed for looks, the primary objective of the frame design is to enhance vehicle dynamics by augmenting torsional rigidity, nimble agility, and enhanced feedback from the chassis. |
Swingarm
A curved cast aluminum swingarm provides a sturdy and durable platform for the rear suspension system, featuring a direct shock absorber mount that is offset to the side, for that super-racy look. This also creates additional space for the new exhaust muffler, providing added attitude. |
Fork
Upfront, a 43 mm WP APEX big piston fork with 150 mm travel keeps things in check, ensuring rock-solid performance on all street conditions. |
Rear Shock
On the rear, you'll find an off-center WP APEX Emulsion shock absorber with 150 mm of travel and 60 mm of stroke. The rear shock is also preload adjustable. |
Wheels and Tires
Reducing weight where it counts the most, the KTM DUKE range has made significant inroads at reducing unsprung mass thanks to a set of lightweight wheels, wrapped in radial tires. This not only improves the overall handling characteristics but also means quicker turn-in and less strain on working components like axels and bearings. |
Brakes
On the front wheel, the KTM 250 DUKE boasts a 320 mm brake disc with brand-new four-piston radial calipers. The new design includes bigger disks to reduce the operating temperature with improvements in the resistance to fading and longer pad lifespan. On the rear wheel, a 240 mm brake disc is installed with a brand-new twin-piston caliper which carries the same benefits as the front wheel. Cornering ABS and SUPERMOTO ABS are also standard features. |

Speaking of which, All new generation DUKE models are equipped with connectivity functions, allowing pilots to play music, take incoming calls, and get to where they are going with Turn-by-Turn navigation. |
Bodywork
Embracing its NAKED lineage, the KTM 250 DUKE has no shame in bearing it all. Casting an ever-impressive shadow, bristling with shark-like edges and visible air intakes, and painted headlight surround, the KTM 250 DUKE boasts an aggressive stance. A metal fuel tank, color-injected plastics, and LED lights complete the package. |
Graphics
Premium looks come as standard on the KTM 250 DUKE. A high-quality, multi-layered, wet-painted finish in either all-new Electric Orange or Ceramic White with vibrant graphics perfectly set off the unique DUKE textured seat cover. Make no mistake, this is 100% DUKE with 110% street-cred. |
