The 2023 KTM 250 Duke and 390 Duke were introduced in the Indian market in September this year. Both bikes receive several updates for the 2023 model year.

The 2023 KTM 250 Duke is powered by a new 249cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that makes 31 BHP and 25 Nm. It features a redesigned cylinder head, a larger airbox and comes with ride-by-wire & quick-shifter as standard.

The third-generation 390 Duke gets a new 399cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that produces 45.37 BHP and is paired with a 6-speed gearbox via a slipper clutch and a quick-shifter. An updated frame, lightweight wheels and brakes help the Gen-3 bike to achieve the highest power-to-weight ratio of 270 BHP per tonne.
