Team Orange is on the verge of expanding its portfolio in the lower-end of the price bracket. In that regard, KTM just launched the youngest sibling in Duke family in the form of 160 Duke. This has been one of India’s highly anticipated launches ever since rumours began and 125 Duke was discontinued.
Wait is finally over and KTM India has just launched 160 Duke, which is a spiritual successor of 125 Duke in terms of product positioning. Price for KTM 160 Duke is Rs 1.85 lakh (Ex-sh), which puts it directly in the crosshairs of the premium and performant 150cc to 160cc street fighters like Yamaha MT-15 V2.0.
KTM Duke 160 Launch
The highly anticipated KTM 160 Duke launch has finally happened. Where pricing is concerned, KTM is offering 160 Duke for Rs 1.85 lakh (Ex-sh) and is offering attractive financing schemes to streamline purchasing experience to buyers as well. Also part of the package, is a 10 year extended warranty.
Most interesting part of this launch is the new engine powering KTM 160 Duke. This is a new single-cylinder powerplant with an SOHC head, as opposed to DOHC head in 125 Duke. This engine is capable of delivering 18.7 bhp of peak power at 9500 RPM and 15.5 Nm of peak torque at 7,500 RPM, mated to a ride-by-wire throttle.
Bringing some more metrics on to the paper, 160 Duke has a 1,357 mm long wheelbase, 138 mm and 161 mm suspension travel at the front and rear, respectively. It packs 320 mm front and 230 mm rear disc brake setup with Brembo radial callipers, a Bosch EMS and more. As 160 Duke shares most of its styling and components with other Dukes, rider ergonomics should be somewhat similar.
