                • Pros
                • Cons
                • 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.

                  Husqvarna Svartpilen 401

                  • Looks properly premium with a very clean design
                  • Extremely potent engine, that’s as fun as the KTM 390 Duke
                  • Great high-speed handling
                  • Light kerb weight and feature-packed console make living with the bike an easy affair
                • 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.

                  Husqvarna Svartpilen 401

                  • Runs on tubed tyres because of the spoke wheels
                  • Not really a true-blue scrambler

                  Duke 250 review
                  Amazing bike and very beginner friendly. Duke 250 GEN 3 is one of the most amazing beginner bikes to learn how to ride on. It comes with dual ABS and good features that really sold it for me. I had this bike for 2 years now and I can vouch on the handling, servicing and mileage aspects is one of the best.

                  Best 250CC street fighter for the price
                  KTM Duke 250. I recently bought and I am loving it so far. Its aggressive looks turns heads every time. In city, it feels great and on highway, it gives you confidence. Mileage, breaks and performance is great. Other than this, build quality feels premium. Switch gear is solid and TFT Display is amazing. Also it has quick shifter.

                  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.

                  Best scrambler under this category
                  The bike looks great in itself and the feel on riding it in any type of terrain is just too smooth. If you are looking for a scrambler bike in this range you get three options of re scram 440, this and triumph scrambler. But beleive me the road presence of this bike is just too good, the feel, the speed, the pickup and the mileage all are pretty awesome.

                  Loving it!
                  Honestly it's a pretty cool bike. The 2024 Svartpilen 401 has this rugged, minimalist scrambler vibe that stands out. It’s lightweight, packs enough punch for fun rides, and that quickshifter is a sweet bonus for the price. I really like how it blends urban aggression with some off-road capability, without going overboard.
