With its brutal performance, KTM has successfully persuaded many performance and off-road enthusiasts to purchase their vehicles. The "insect headlight" design seen in the Duke series over the years has not only caused a lot of talk online, but also caught the attention of many young car enthusiasts who bought the more affordable 390 Duke, 250 Duke, and others. another model. Today, we take a look at the 250 Duke, which is at the end of its product cycle, as KTM has recently released the 2025 model and it has been given a minor facelift!
Vehicle Design
The 2025 250 Duke has a new family look. The shape of the headlight is very similar to the new generation 390 Duke series. But alas, only the shape of the headlight has been updated. The rest of the design remained the same. But it's worth mentioning that the car's instrument panel has been replaced with the same 5-inch TFT display as the 390 Duke, and it also supports Internet of Vehicles, so it's easier to sync messages and navigation information from your mobile phone to the instrument panel.
Headlight Design
In terms of power, there is no change this time. The 2025 250 Duke still uses a 248cc water-cooled engine. The maximum horsepower of the engine is capable of producing 30bhp@9,250rpm and the maximum torque is 25Nm@7,250rpm. It is similar to a six-speed gearbox and a two-way forward and reverse gearbox row system. For electronic control, KTM provides two modes to choose from: street and track. In addition to various vehicle settings, track mode can also adjust the instrument and display more information such as vehicle speed, lap time, and the system's recommended vehicle settings.
No Engine Changes
The 390 Duke, slightly modified, offers three different colors to choose from: blue, classic KTM orange, and white. Although the biggest difference in the whole car is the instrument panel and the new headlight shape, KTM decided to raise the price of the car to 245,000 rupees (approximately PHP 170,000), which has some implications for the new model. Interested readers can still purchase a vehicle in the Taiwan market through dealers.
