2024 KTM 250 Duke

2024 KTM 250 Duke

Showing off a new 250 cc powerplant, the KTM 250 DUKE is 250% DUKE! Sharing the NAKED philosophy of its larger siblings, the 2024 KTM 250 DUKE carries a completely new, bulked-up attitude, rounded out by a new frame, suspension package, LED lights, riding technology, and aggression that rips up streets and grips turns.

Features may include:

• Display & Connectivity

All you need, visible in one glance. An all-new 5" LCD dashboard appears on the 2024 KTM 250 DUKE. It's teamed with a new switch cube whose 4-way menu switches make it simple to interact with every vehicle function – even including smartphone connectivity. On that subject, every new-generation DUKE model comes with connectivity functions that let pilots play music, take incoming calls, and reach their destination using Turn-by-Turn navigation.

• Bodywork

True to its NAKED heritage, the 2024 KTM 250 DUKE isn't the least bit shy about showing everything. Casting a shadow that never fails to impress, covered in shark-like edges and visible air intakes, and fitted with a painted headlight surround, the KTM 250 DUKE strikes 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 less overall weight than before. Building on years of experience with small engines, the 2024 KTM 250 DUKE also now gets an improved gearbox and an optimized cylinder head. Oh, and did we mention that it's also READY TO RACE?

• LED Lighting

Ripping a deep gash through the darkness, every 2024 KTM DUKE model is fitted with powerful LED lights front and rear. These don't only do their job once the world goes dark; they also deliver improved visibility when moving through busy traffic or misty road conditions.

• Ergonomics

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

• Seat

Thicker seat foam, a narrower profile, and better general ergonomics overall bring improved comfort to both rider and pillion. Want your seat higher or lower? The 2024 KTM 250 DUKE comes with a standard seat height of 31.4 in (800 mm), which 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 made up of an all-new steel trellis main frame and 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 design isn't only about appearance: its main goal is to enhance vehicle dynamics through increased torsional rigidity, improved agility, and enhanced chassis feedback.

• Swingarm

A new curved cast aluminum swingarm gives the rear suspension system a sturdy and durable platform, with a direct shock absorber mount that now sits offset to the side for a super-racy look. This also frees up extra room for the new exhaust muffler, for added attitude.
