KTM, the Austrian motorcycle manufacturer known for its high-performance two-wheelers, has once again lit the stage ablaze with the 2023 KTM Duke 125, Duke 250, and Duke 390. In a previous post, we went into 390 Duke in detail. In this piece, we will go through all of the new features available on the KTM 125 Duke and 250 Duke.
These two new Duke models have caused quite a stir in the motorcycle market, offering a host of interesting innovations that promise an amazing riding experience. In this post, we’ll look at what sets these bikes apart from the pack.
First and foremost, the 2023 KTM Duke 125 and Duke 250 have been significantly redesigned to conform with KTM’s new worldwide design language.
KTM fans will be pleased to learn that the 125 and 250 Dukes now share the same chassis, body panels, and several other components as their larger sibling, the 390 Duke, thanks to this update.
The three Duke models are difficult to distinguish in terms of looks. All three models have a new fuel tank, eye-catching LED headlights, a cutting-edge 5-inch TFT instrument cluster, and other features. Furthermore, the 125 and 250 Dukes share high-quality components such as WP Apex compression and rebound adjustable USD telescopic front forks, a preload adjustable rear mono-shock, a distinctive banana-shaped cast swingarm, and a powerful 240mm rear disc and 320mm front disc brake setup with dual-channel ABS.
KTM has gone above and above to make these bikes safer. The 250 Duke and 125 Duke both have cornering ABS and Supermoto ABS, which provide riders more control and confidence, especially when confronting difficult road conditions.
Bluetooth connectivity has been integrated into the 250 Duke and 125 Duke by KTM. Through the bike’s UI, users may enjoy turn-by-turn navigation, receive important notification alerts, and even control their music. This feature mimics the strong tech suite seen in the 2017 KTM 390 Duke, which is a nice inclusion for riders looking for connectivity as well as performance.
The KTM 125 Duke 2023 is powered by a 124.9cc engine that produces 14.7 horsepower and 11.5 Nm of torque. The 250 Duke, on the other hand, packs a more powerful punch with its 249cc engine, producing an impressive 30 horsepower and 25 Nm of torque. Both bikes have a liquid-cooling system and a 6-speed transmission, ensuring a smooth and controlled power delivery.
