2024 KTM Duke 250

The 2024 KTM 250 Duke stands out as a lightweight naked motorcycle that delivers energetic performance, advanced technology, and rider-friendly ergonomics, making it a smart choice for both new riders and experienced motorcyclists. Powered by a 249cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine producing 31 horsepower and 18.4 lb-ft of torque, the 250 Duke offers responsive acceleration and a top speed near 95 mph. Refinements to engine smoothness and reduced vibration—especially above 5,000 rpm—create a more confident and enjoyable ride, while excellent fuel efficiency of around 70 mpg makes it ideal for daily commuting or weekend fun.

Built around a new steel trellis frame with a lightweight aluminum subframe, the KTM 250 Duke delivers agile handling and precise control. Suspension duties are handled by a 43mm WP Apex big-piston fork and a preload-adjustable WP Apex rear shock, providing 150mm of travel for a balanced mix of comfort and sportiness. Braking performance is equally impressive, with a 320mm front disc and radial-mounted four-piston caliper, paired with a 240mm rear disc, both supported by cornering ABS and Supermoto mode for enhanced safety and rider confidence.

The aggressive KTM Naked styling gives the 250 Duke a sharp, modern look, complemented by full LED lighting and bold color options like Electric Orange and Ceramic White. A 5-inch LCD display with Bluetooth connectivity allows riders to access navigation, calls, and music, while the standard bidirectional quickshifter ensures smooth, clutch-less gear changes. Updated ergonomics—including a redesigned seat and adjustable footpeg hangers—add comfort and control for longer rides. With an accessible MSRP of $4,599, the 2024 KTM 250 Duke delivers outstanding value, blending performance, technology, and unmistakable KTM style in one versatile package.
