    The entry-level KTM is now priced at Rs 1.24 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) 

    • Its price has been hiked by Rs 6,835, over its introductory price of 1.18 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).
    • The KTM 125 Duke has managed to rake in 7,287 unit sales since its launch back in November 2018.
    • Since November 2018, its total sales have been higher than any of its siblings.

    KTM has increased the price of the 125 Duke to Rs 1.24 lakh. The bike which was first launched in the Indian market at an introductory price of Rs 1.18 lakh, now gets a price bump of almost Rs 7,000 (both prices ex-showroom Delhi). Having said that, it’s still the most affordable KTM in the country, a space formerly occupied by the KTM 200 Duke.

    Ever since its launch, the KTM 125 Duke has managed to impress in terms of monthly sales and even bagged the title of the bestselling KTM in India. Since November 2018, the KTM has sold 7,287 units of the 125 Duke, which is higher than the sales of any of its siblings in the same time period. To put things into perspective, the 200 Duke came closest to it in the same time period at 7,020 units.

    Powering the bike is a 124.7cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled motor that produces 14.5PS and 12Nm. It comes mated to a 6-speed transmission. The 125 Duke employs a trellis frame paired with upside down forks and a monoshock at the rear. Braking duties are handled by a 300mm disc brake up front and a 240mm disc brake at the rear. Single-channel ABS comes as standard.

    The growing sales numbers for the baby Duke gives us a fair idea of how the Indian market is expanding and progressing towards more performance-oriented bikes. Moreover, the manageable performance of the KTM 125 Duke acts as a stepping stone for newer riders. It competes against the newly-launched Yamaha MT-15 which retails at Rs 1.36 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).

      Pocket Dynamo
      I got this bike back in 2019 when it was launched, I was beginner so my first choice was a bike with moderate power and torque and good ride comfort. So, I went through lot of options, FZ l, Apachi 160 and 200 , Classic 350 and Duke 200. I got my eye on FZ as it was very much beginner Friendly and it was pocket friendly too. I decided to book FZ but on the same day KTM dropped this Pocket Rocket duke 125 and obviously for me it was a show stopper, without any second thought I went through the specs sheet and boy oh boy it felt just like a match made from heaven. I went to showroom the very next morning and just booked my duke 125 and after a month I got the delivery and till after after 7 long years, I have regretted for one single day. Good quality and best feeling riding this Pocket Rocket. Total in 7 year's, I have rode 51,000 kms on odo where I have only used it for ride propose and not for commute purpose. The best thing about this is the ride comfort because of the posture and ride quality. I have done Pune - hyderabad - Pune in 24 hrs with 4 hrs of sleep. I have rode on different terrains and in every seasons and it has never disappointed me in any given situation. I love riding it everyday with or without luggage. It feels fun to ride. Of course, I recommend it to every college boy with no riding experience to start their journey with this bike as it offers good amount of power and torque and would help you to be a good and safe rider with it's features. It will fall you in love with the motorcycle world and also take you to the places you thought of riding once in your collage days. It also offer mileage of 40 kmpl which is also good as a beginner. It will help you understand many concepts of motorcycle rider which will help you in future when you upgrade to a high cc.

      Perfect for riders
      KTM DUKE is my favourite bike this bike is comfortable to ride and highllight as a premium, ideal for new rider waiting for experience offering sharp looks excellent handling tech like a TFT Display act. Duke 125cc is the sharp handlling for riders, offering a premium, agile city ride with sharp great look and refined performance first class like a big bike in small package though its engines feel under powered on road KTM Duke 125 cc is highly recommended as a premium, Stylish beginner bike for city commuting ktm feel worth decent power for it class but is main drawbacks are higher price for 125cc ktm bike is comfortable for city ride
