Let’s delve into the anticipated features and specifications of this KTM bike.
The 125 Duke 2025 shall carry forward its legacy as a high-performance entry-level naked streetfighter. It shall be powered by a 124.7cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected engine. It should develop a peak power and torque of 14-15bhp and 12-13 Nm, respectively. The engine should be mated to a 6-speed gearbox offering linear acceleration and smooth gear transitions.
The mileage of this bike is expected to deliver a mileage of around 40-45 km/l. We shall update the exact figures once the vehicle is launched.
The new 125 Duke is expected to feature upside-down front forks from WP Apex and a preload-adjustable WP rear mono-shock. This setup shall ensure sporty handling and ride comfort. The bike should ride on 17/18-inch alloy wheels sporting a 110-120mm wide front and a 145-155mm wide rear tyre. Braking duties will likely be managed by a 320mm front disc and a 230mm rear disc, accompanied by single-channel ABS. This will offer adequate stopping power and safety for new riders.
The dimensions of the upcoming KTM 125 Duke are expected to remain close to the previous generation: We expect them to be around as follows:
These figures should balance rider ergonomics, fuel range, and maneuverability, especially for urban usage.
The 2025 model is expected to adopt an even more aggressive version of KTM’s “Scalpel” design language. It is slated to be closely inspired by its bigger siblings like the 390 Duke. Expect sharper body panels, a compact LED headlamp, integrated tank shrouds, and bold new graphics. The exposed trellis frame and underbelly exhaust (or side-slung unit if redesigned) will continue to amplify its sporty appeal.
This KTM motorcycle is expected to offer a host of premium features that set it apart in the 125cc segment. Riders can also expect an all-digital console that displays vital information such as gear position, fuel range, and ride statistics. It is likely to have a smartphone connectivity feature to offer a modern and connected riding experience. The bike is set to feature advanced lighting with LED headlamps and taillights for improved visibility and style. Safety is slated to be enhanced through a single-channel ABS system, possibly with a Supermoto mode for added control. High-quality switchgear and a sporty split seat configuration shall also be there.
The price of this upcoming KTM bike is expected to range around ₹1.75-1.80 Lakhs, similar to that of the Hero XPulse 210, the Yamaha R15 V4, and the Hero Karizma XMR.
This upcoming bike is anticipated to be launched on 28 October 2025.
