Oh, and did we mention it is also READY ΤΟ RACE?

DISPLAY & CONNECTIVITY

This is paired with a new switch cube, with 4-way menu switches that allow easy interaction with all vehicle functions - even smartphone connectivity.

FOOTPEGS

All-new, lightweight cast aluminum footpeg hangers and grippy footpegs ensure riders have uninterrupted grip when banging through the gears, with high-end CNC-machined footpegs available from the KTM PowerParts catalog.

performance

FRAME

The new design features a 2-piece construction composed of an all- new steel trellis main frame with a pressure die-cast aluminum subframe. The rear shock absorber is now also mounted off-center to allow for a larger airbox while reducing seat height and, at the same time, adding to the DUKE's aggressive stance. Not only designed for looks, the primary objective of the frame design is to enhance vehicle dynamics by augmenting torsional rigidity, improved agility, and enhanced feedback from the chassis.

performance

SWINGARM

A new curved cast aluminum swingarm provides a sturdy and durable platform for the rear suspension system, featuring a direct shock absorber mount that is now offset to the side, for that super-racy look. This also creates additional space for the new exhaust muffler, providing added attitude.

performance

FORK

Upfront, a 43 mm WP APEX big piston fork with 150 mm travel keeps things in check, ensuring rock-solid performance on all street conditions.

performance

REAR SHOCK

On the rear, you'll find an off-center WP APEX Emulsion shock absorber with 150 mm of travel and 60 mm of stroke. The rear shock is also preload adjustable.

performance

WHEELS

Reducing weight where it counts the most, the 2024 KTM DUKE range has made significant inroads at reducing unsprung mass thanks to a set of lightweight wheels, wrapped in MERF steel radial tires. This not only improves the overall handling characteristics but also means quicker turn-in and less strain on working components like axels and bearings.

03 / SAFETY

performance

BRAKES

On the front wheel, the KTM 250 DUKE boasts a 320 mm brake disk with brand-new four-piston radial calipers. The new design includes bigger disks to reduce the operating temperature with improvements in the resistance to fading and longer pad lifespan. On the rear wheel, a 240 mm brake disk is installed with a brand-new twin-piston caliper which carries the same benefits as the front wheel. Cornering ABS and SUPERMOTO ABS are also standard features.

performance

ERGONOMICS

Thanks to a slightly longer wheelbase, new seat heights, and frame geometry, the 2024 DUKE range boasts dramatically improved cornering behavior, stability, and handling proficiency. This, along with an already sterling reputation as being a THE THRILL CHASER and an aggressive seating position, means the 2024 KTM 250 DUKE sets the standard when it comes to energetic NAKED machinery.

performance
