![]() But we’ve been assured by KTM India that the suspension is pretty much unchanged, except for a retune to cope with the increased weight. ![]() It’s too early to comment on the ride quality as we had a limited time with the motorcycle. The suspension hardware remains the same as before - a 43mm USD fork at the front and a monoshock at the rear. The Pulsar NS200 recently received an update, and you can read all about it here. In a similar price bracket, the Duke also rivals the Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 and Husqvarna Vitpilen 250. The KTM 200 Duke competes with the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V and the Bajaj Pulsar NS200 in its segment. Dual-channel ABS is a standard feature, with the option to go for a single-channel unit (KTM calls it SuperMoto ABS). The 200 Duke is anchored by 300mm (front) and 230mm (rear) discs with Bybre calipers. The KTM 200 Duke gets a new split trellis frame (tubular), identical to the 250 Duke and KTM 390 Duke along with a 43mm inverted fork upfront and a 10-step adjustable rear monoshock (both WP Apex). ![]() The engine is linked to a six-speed gearbox. Powering the 200 Duke is an OBD-2 compliant, 199.5cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine that churns out a power figure of 25PS at 10,000rpm and 19.3Nm of torque at 8000rpm. Above the speedometer are tell-tale lights which include a shift indicator in the middle. It gets a basic LCD instrument console with readouts such as a gear position indicator, real-time mileage, average mileage, service indicator, distance-to-empty, time, and a side-stand warning light. The 200 Duke comes with a halogen headlight surrounded by fang-like LED DRLs, and a new LED taillight (similar to the one on KTM 250 Duke). KTM 200 Duke comes priced at Rs 1,92,845 (ex-showroom Delhi) and is offered in two colours: Electronic Orange and Dark Silver Metallic. The 200 Duke was the first bike from KTM in India. In its second generation, it now flaunts styling similar to the 1290 Super Duke R. The KTM 200 Duke has been a popular choice among youngsters since it debuted in 2012. KTM has launched its 2023 line-up of bikes with updated prices.
