India-made KTM 200 Duke reaches America, price converts to ₹2.98 lakh
KTM has launched the new 200 Duke in the American market. The motorcycle has been priced at USD 3,999 which converts to about ₹2.98 lakh.
This specific model is a made-in-India product which is being produced at the Bajaj’s plant in Chakan near Pune. As far tech-spec are concerned, it is almost the same bike which sells in the Indian market save for the fact that it gets a dual-channel ABS with Supermoto mode.

For those living under a rock, this Supermoto mode turns off the ABS at the rear wheel. This feature is commonly found throughout the KTM bikes and is even present on 250 and 390 Dukes which are sold in the Indian market. There's a possibility that KTM might introduce the same in the Indian-spec 200 Duke with the next year's update.
