The KTM 250 Duke has evolved into its third generation, and it's gotten all mean-looking. It's 250cc single-cylinder engine now makes 30.5bhp @ 9250rpm and 25Nm @ 7250rpm as a result of a new bigger airbox, a marginally higher engine compression, and a revised exhaust system. The six-speed gearbox is paired with a slipper clutch and now gets the same bi-directional quickshifter that does duties in the gen-three 390 Duke. The new KTM 250 Duke gets an entirely new trellis frame and an aluminium sub-frame. It also gets updated 43mm USD fork and like the 399 Duke, an offset monoshock. It gets lighter wheels like the 390 Duke, and these are now shod with MRF Steel Brace tyres. In terms of features, you now get a new 5-inch LCD screen with smartphone connectivity and navigation, a 4-way switch cube and dual-channel ABS. Mandar Sawant gives us a complete download of the 2024 KTM 250 Duke in this first ride review.
