They share several design elements, including headlamps, alloy wheels, tank design, and taillamp. While the 250 Duke comes in White and Orange, the 125 Duke is available in Blue and Orange schemes. There is no official information regarding their launch in India but we expect them to arrive here later this year.
Take a look at the connectivity and performance abilities
The 2024 KTM 250 and 125 Duke are equipped with a 5.0-inch TFT display, updated switchgear, and connectivity functions such as music control, incoming call alerts, and turn-by-turn navigation.

Suspension and handling capabilities are quite impressive
Braking duties on the 2024 KTM 250 and 125 Duke are handled by 320mm front and 240mm rear discs, with dual-channel, cornering, and Supermoto ABS. Constructed on a steel frame with an aluminum swingarm, the bikes offer a seat height of 800mm, which can be increased to 820mm using the KTM PowerParts set. For suspension, the motorcycles also feature a 43mm WP Apex front fork with compression and rebound adjustability, as well as a preload adjustable rear mono-shock.
India launch is expected to happen with some variations
The India-spec models of the 2024 KTM 250 and 125 Duke may exclude some features as a cost-cutting measure by the brand.
