KTM 250 Duke

Overview

KTM has refreshed the 250 Duke lineup in India with two new colour options — Silver Metallic Grey and Slate Grey. While the update is purely cosmetic, the new shades give the quarter-litre streetfighter a more mature and understated appearance compared to KTM’s traditionally bold colour themes. The motorcycle continues to be positioned below the 390 Duke in the brand’s naked bike portfolio and retains its sharp styling, lightweight chassis and performance-focused character.

With the addition of the new finishes, the 250 Duke is now available in five colour options, including Ebony Black, Electronic Orange and Atlantic Blue.
