This year’s iteration of the KTM Duke 200 has received a minor cosmetic revamp, and that too, with new colour schemes. Those new colour options comprise Electronic Orange and Dark Silver Metallic. However, there is speculation regarding the next generation of the Duke 200, as per the spy shots circulated online. That said, KTM enthusiasts can expect the next generation to arrive next year. 

Now, back to the ongoing offering. Let’s find out more about this 200cc bike and see how it stacks up against its rivals. 

So, let’s begin!

As far as the specifications are concerned, this bike continues to power itself via a 199.5cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine. It produces 24.6 bhp at 10,000 rpm and 19.3 Nm of torque at 8,000 rpm. Furthermore, it sends power to the rear wheel via a six-speed transmission. This BS-6 compliant 200cc Austrian bike carries a fuel tank measuring 13.4 litres. As per the customers’ feedback, the Duke 200’s mileage is 34.5kmpl. With that figure, this bike has impressive fuel efficiency. To find the 2022 Duke 200 price, head to the autoX website for an up-to-date price in your region. 

In parallel, this bike gets the braking setup that is always in demand as it boasts Bybre-sourced dual-disc brakes. For additional aid in safety, it gets a dual-channel ABS as standard. Additionally, this bike also sports a split trellis frame, as seen on Duke’s higher models, the 250cc and 390cc bikes. Having that frame makes the bike boast better riding dynamics. That said, the Austrian bikemaker has retained the measurements of 43mm for the upside-down fork (USD) and mono-shock.

Besides its specifications and braking setup, this bike also provides a respectable number of features. It gets a halogen light, elongated by LED DRLs, and new LED taillights. Furthermore, the rider will get a digital instrument cluster that shows readings such as the speed, rpm, gear position, service dues, and mileage, to name a few. 

In the Duke series, the KTM Duke 200 slots between Duke 125 and Duke 250. But if you compare the ex-showroom price of the Duke’s 200cc and 250cc bikes, there is a difference of at least Rs 45,000. 

In terms of rivalry, the Duke 200 locks horns with similarly priced bikes like the TVS Apache 200, Bajaj Pulsar NS200, Suzuki Gixxer 250, and the Svartpilen 250, among others. 

However, if you plan to buy the 200cc bike from KTM’s Duke range, you must sign a cheque for Rs 2.23 lakh for the KTM Duke 200 on-road price (on-road, Delhi). Please note that this price is as of September 2022, which is subject to market change without prior notice to the customer.
