2024 KTM 250 Duke

2024 KTM 250 Duke

Showing off a new 250 cc powerplant, the KTM 250 DUKE is a machine that's 250% DUKE! Sharing the NAKED ethos of its larger siblings, the 2024 KTM 250 DUKE brings an all-new, muscled-up attitude, rounded out by a fresh frame, suspension package, LED lights, riding tech, plus aggression that rips up streets and grips turns.

Features may include:

• Display & Connectivity

Everything you need, visible in a glance. An all-new 5" LCD dashboard comes on the 2024 KTM 250 DUKE. It works with a new switch cube whose 4-way menu switches make it simple to interact with every vehicle function – smartphone connectivity included. On that note, every new generation DUKE model comes with connectivity functions so pilots can play music, answer incoming calls, and reach their destination using Turn-by-Turn navigation.

• Bodywork

True to its NAKED heritage, the 2024 KTM 250 DUKE isn't shy about showing everything. With a shadow that never fails to impress, shark-like edges and visible air intakes all over, plus a painted headlight surround, the KTM 250 DUKE carries an aggressive stance. Rounding out the package are a new metal fuel tank, color-injected plastics, and LED lights.

• Engine

Powered by the newest generation of LC4c engines, the 2024 KTM 250 DUKE bulks up with more power, smoother acceleration, and a lighter overall weight compared to before. Building on years of small-engine experience, the 2024 KTM 250 DUKE also now gets an improved gearbox and an optimized cylinder head. And did we mention that it's READY TO RACE as well?

• LED Lighting

Ripping a deep gash through the darkness, every 2024 KTM DUKE model is fitted with powerful LED lights front and rear. Beyond doing their job once the world goes dark, they also deliver improved visibility while you make your way through busy traffic or misty road conditions.

• Ergonomics

With a slightly longer wheelbase, new seat heights, and frame geometry, the 2024 DUKE lineup delivers dramatically improved cornering behavior, stability, and handling proficiency. Combine that with an already sterling reputation as THE THRILL CHASER and an aggressive seating position, and the 2024 KTM 250 DUKE sets the standard for energetic NAKED machinery.

• Seat

Both rider and pillion get improved comfort, courtesy of thicker seat foam, a narrower profile, and better general ergonomics overall. Want more or less seat height? Standard seat height on the 2024 KTM 250 DUKE is 31.4 in (800 mm), and it can easily be raised to 32.2 in (820 mm) using the optional KTM PowerParts seat offering.

• Frame

The new design uses a 2-piece construction: an all-new steel trellis main frame paired with a pressure die-cast aluminum subframe. The rear shock absorber now also sits off-center, making room for a larger airbox while lowering seat height and simultaneously adding to the DUKE's aggressive stance. The frame isn't designed just for looks, though; its main goal is to enhance vehicle dynamics through augmented torsional rigidity, improved agility, and enhanced chassis feedback.

• Swingarm

Giving the rear suspension system a sturdy, durable platform is a new curved cast aluminum swingarm, which has a direct shock absorber mount now offset to the side for a super-racy look. This also frees up extra space for the new exhaust muffler, which adds attitude.
