The KTM 250 Duke is a naked bike launched in 2016. It uses a liquid-cooled 249cc single in a steel trellis frame, offering light weight and sharp handling with KTM's aggressive style.
It shares much with the 390 Duke but has a smaller engine and lower cost. Updates in 2024 brought a new engine, frame and TFT dash. It is a popular choice for new riders who want a sporty, fun bike. Rivals include the Yamaha MT-25, Kawasaki Z250 and Honda CB300R.
