The KTM Duke 200 has been spotted with a new headlight. The entry-level Duke now gets the same LED headlight as the more expensive 250 and 390 versions.



The latest image of the 2023 Duke 200 was captured at a dealer yard, which suggests that dealer dispatches of the updated bike have commenced and the launch could be just around the corner.

The KTM Duke 200 looks similar to its larger stablemates, except for the underbelly exhaust. The new headlamp unit is identical to what you get on the Duke 390 with six separate LED pods flanked by L-shaped daytime running lights.

Reports suggest that the updated Duke 200 is likely to be sold alongside the current version with the halogen headlamp. It could be priced at Rs 1.97 lakh (ex-showroom), which is a premium of Rs 4,000 over the standard version.

Form wise, teenagers will rejoice but functionality wise I feel the halogens will fare better. I'm saying this after living with a 390 for more than a year.
I feel the new 390's launch is not far away, and KTM is doing this to differentiate the new 390 from the other bikes. Remember how 2nd gen was launched in 2017? Guess it is being done again albeit differently.

That's a great observation, however, after owning two 390s (2014, 2019) its a great move by KTM. The LED setup is versatile plus if you decided to add Aux lights, the whiteish throw supports the blue from the Aux lights which is not the case in the halogen. Plus, the halogen used to heat up to melting temparatures in Summers, even during night time.

Oh yes, the new 390s with the super light wheels and adjustable shockups is going to be a killer in the market.
