KTM 200 Duke

KTM 200 Duke Highlights

KTM India launched the 200 Duke with single-channel ABS at Rs 1.6 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). This makes it Rs 8200 more expensive than the non-ABS version. Apart from the inclusion of ABS, the bike remains virtually unchanged. In terms of design, it draws inspiration from the old-gen 390 Duke. As far as colour schemes are concerned, the last update the 200 Duke received was in 2017 with new graphics, orange alloy wheels and three different colour schemes - orange, black & white. The current-gen motorcycle features the same all-digital instrument console with readouts such as a clock, tripmeter, odometer and distance to empty. Other notable features include an underbelly exhaust, an LED tail light, and 43mm USD front forks.

Powering the KTM 200 Duke is a BS4-compliant 199.5cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled motor that churns out a25.1PS of peak power at 10,000rpm and a maximum torque output of 19.2Nm at 8,000rpm. A 6-speed transmission transfers power to the rear wheel via chain drive. Fuel tank capacity stands at 10.5 litres.

The 200 Duke employs a trellis frame with WP upside-down forks up front and a monoshock at the rear. Brakes include disc units at both ends (300mm front, 230mm rear), with single-channel ABS. Its 17-inch alloy wheels are shod in MRF tubeless radial tyres.

The KTM 200 Duke is priced at Rs 1.60 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). It competes against the likes of the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V and the Bajaj NS200 in terms of specs.
