KTM has just launched its new 2024 KTM 250 Duke, and it comes with some exciting changes. Priced at Rs. 2.41 lakhs (ex-showroom), this bike now includes a few key upgrades that make it better than before. Let’s take a closer look at what this new model offers.
Biggest Change: 5-Inch TFT Display
The most important change in the new 250 Duke is the addition of a 5-inch TFT display. This screen is the same one found on the bigger 390 Duke, which is a great feature for riders. The screen is easy to read and helps you see important information clearly while riding. It also comes with Bluetooth connectivity, so you can pair it with your phone and use it for things like calls or music.
This new display is a big improvement compared to the old one. The menu is easier to use because of the new buttons taken from the 390 Duke. These buttons let you navigate the options easily, making it simple to switch between settings.

Better Look: LED DRLs and Sleek Design
The 2024 KTM 250 Duke now looks even better with some small but smart changes. It comes with new LED daytime running lights (DRLs), which make the front of the bike look sharp and modern. These DRLs are the same as the ones found on the 390 Duke, so it makes the bike stand out even more.
While the 250 Duke still looks sleek with its slim side panels around the fuel tank, it remains different from the 390 Duke, which has larger panels. The bike’s new design is sharp, sporty, and definitely eye-catching.

Same Powerful Engine with a 250cc Punch
Even though there are many new changes, the engine in the KTM 250 Duke is still the same. The bike is powered by a 250cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine. This engine gives the rider 31 HP of power and 25 Nm of torque, which is perfect for both city rides and longer highway trips.
The engine sits in a strong trellis frame that also comes with a cast aluminum subframe, just like in the 390 Duke. The bike weighs 163 kg, which makes it light and easy to handle, and it has a 15-litre fuel tank. This big fuel tank is great because it gives you a good range without needing to stop for gas often.

Rider Features: ABS and Quickshifter
KTM has kept the rider-friendly features that make the 250 Duke a joy to ride. The bike comes with switchable ABS, which means you can turn it on or off depending on how you like to ride. This makes the bike safer and gives you better control on different surfaces.
Another feature that stays standard is the bi-directional quickshifter, which lets you change gears smoothly without using the clutch. This is a big plus for riders who want fast and easy gear changes while on the move. These features make the KTM 250 Duke not just fun to ride but also safe and easy to control.

Despite all these upgrades, the price of the new 250 Duke has only gone up a little. The bike is now priced at Rs. 2.41 lakhs, which still makes it a great deal. It fits perfectly between the more affordable 200 Duke and the more powerful 390 Duke.
With these updates, the KTM 250 Duke is ready to take on other bikes in the same segment. It offers great performance with modern features, making it a strong option for anyone looking for a premium quarter-litre bike.
