2024 KTM 250 Duke price and rivals

The 2024 KTM 250 Duke is priced at Rs 2.41 lakh (ex-showroom), a slight increase of Rs 2,000 over the outgoing model. The price hike is driven by the upgraded features the bike now offers. The 250 Duke competes with the Bajaj Dominar 250 and Suzuki Gixxer 250 in the segment. The added features aim to give KTM an edge over its rivals, especially during the festive season.

The bike also features a new 4-way menu control on the left switchgear for easier access to functions. The company claims that this upgrade replaces the older LCD unit, offering a better riding experience for the user. It continues to offer slipper and assist clutch, ensuring smoother gear transitions on the move.

The LED daytime running lights (DRLs) are inspired by the larger KTM 390 Duke, giving the bike a premium look. 

The suspension duties are handled by upside-down (USD) telescopic front forks and an off-set mono-shock suspension at the rear.
