                • Pros
                • Cons
                • Zontes 350R

                  • Gets segment-first features like screen mirroring and keyless operation for locking/unlocking the bike and opening the fuel filler cap and seat
                  • Stylish and aggressive design that makes it standout among other bikes
                  • The CST Migra S3 tyres offer good grip on tarmac

                  KTM 250 Duke

                  • The new 250 cc engine offers more power and punchy acceleration to enjoy those long rides on weekends.
                  • An affordable street fighter that comes with Supermoto ABS, Quickshifter+, slipper clutch, 5" TFT display and much more.
                  • Excellent handling, ride by wire and cornering ABS ensures you have a smooth and safe ride, every time.
                  • The aggressive styling, sharp features and edgy design on this KTM 250 makes it one of the most appealing street naked bikes.
                • Zontes 350R

                  • Soft suspension does not offer confidence when the bike is ridden at high speeds
                  • Engine is not as smooth and exciting as you would expect from a 350cc streetfighter
                  • The short gear ratios and the clunky gearbox ruins the experience
                  • The Inverted fork bottoms out during hard braking or over sharp bumps, making for an uncomfortable ride

                  KTM 250 Duke

                  • The lack of good low-end torque can make it quite frustrating to ride in city traffic.
                  • The maintenance and running cost (high fuel consumption) of the Duke 250 can seem a bit steep compared to other naked street fighters in this category.
                  • Some riders report that the seat cushioning is too hard while the taller riders dislike the ergonomics.

                  Over all bike is good but as per performance down wise as compared to other bikes available in this segment. Look wise no doubt it is awesome then other bike looks too muscular look like liter class bike , exhaust are so beautiful 🤩. Over all bike is good , must buy it , but one more problem that is it's services availability are limited

                  Best in its segment to be honest
                  Its performance is great and mileage is quite good but the maintenance cost is little higher then your average bike but than again it is stylish and gives a sporty look tho company should work on comfort as well but all and all its a great deal I would recommend it if you have a little budget and you like travel and there are lot of EMI options as well

                  is segment mai sabse badiya bike hai mileage is good
                  Small body but power is cool and this bike design is wow and suspension is very smooth. The best part of bike is quick shifter, bike is very cool. look at the tyre size / front and back tyre size is so good. Long trip ke liya sabse best bike hai or comfort to kya he hai front tyre ka size sabse cool lga or back tyre ka size to sabse behtar hai or seat cowl wow long ride mai hip mai no pain and best part of head light wow aggressive look like a beast. Duke 390 is the beast, small body but power is incredible looks so good, mileage is best, segment for this model 2026 40 to 45 per litre and best part of bike installed quick shifter and seat cowl is best and very comfortable.

                  Genuine review Duke 250 after 7 months
                  Duke 250 design is what got me flabbergasted. value for money is great. Good looking bike with mischievous intent if you twist the throttle, manageable maintenance cost, best in class features like ride bidirectional quick shifter, TFT display, phone connectivity, best braking in segment. You can flick the bike with great reflex, you'll get a good average if you keep it between 60-80 at 6k -8k RPM, I'm getting around 35 kmpl and if i rev it upto 10k I'll be getting 24-26 kmpl average. My Only concerns are the headlight projection is not that good but adjustable, and the seat is stiff, not for long travel and comfort but to dominate. If your looking for a bike with stealth and road presence this is the bike, I had shortlisted duke 390 also but at last i got 250 because it's more practical with good power delivery and decent milage and look wise both are around same except for features.
