KTM 390 Adventure

<p>
The off-road motorcycle scene in India is gaining serious momentum. For KTM enthusiasts, the 390 Adventure has been the default choice. Yet, for those craving serious dirt capabilities, extensive aftermarket modifications became the norm. Was KTM paying attention? It appears so. Enter the 390 Enduro R – a machine that promises better off-road performance while retaining the trusted 390 platform. So, is this the factory-built solution riders have been waiting for? We took it to the trails at Pro Dirt Adventure Park to find out.</p>

<h2>KTM 390 Enduro R Design &amp; Styling: Serious Off-Road Intent</h2>

<p>First impressions matter, and the Enduro R certainly makes a strong one. While it shares its underpinnings with the 390 Adventure, its stance is noticeably more aggressive and purpose-built. The vibrant KTM orange colour screams performance, and the bike looks broader and tougher  – visually more rugged than the 390 Adventure.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/04/1744278025044-sv8w-4-(1)-(1).webp" alt="KTM 390 Enduro R" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>The key change here is the sharp, minimalist LED headlight assembly, which is inspired by KTM’s hardcore EXC enduro bikes, quickening the pulse of any enthusiast. The 43mm WP Apex front forks and a matching monoshock at the rear signal serious off-road intent. Smart touches like pigmented body panels (designed to resist scratches), along with standard handguards, crash protection, and an engine bash plate, underscore its ready-for-anything character.</p><p>Beneath the skin, KTM India has made some interesting calls. The Enduro R retains the same suspension components as the 390 Adventure, offering 200mm of travel at the front and 205mm at the rear – shorter than the international model’s 230mm, which significantly lowers the seat height, making it more practical for our market.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/KTM-390-Enduro-R-Stand-View-1747313164247.webp" alt="KTM 390 Enduro R-Stand-View.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>The most consequential upgrade is the new wheelset – a 21-inch front and 18-inch rear spoked rim combo, replacing the Adventure’s 17-inch rear setup. These are shod with Mitas Enduro Trail E07+ tyres – 90-section front and a fatter 140-section rear. This setup, along with revised suspension tuning, has raised the ground clearance to an impressive 253mm (up from the Adventure’s 237mm). To ensure a slimmer profile, the fuel tank has been downsized to 9 litres from the Adventure’s 14.5 – while it affects the range, it also reduces the kerb weight to 177kg (5kg lighter than the Adventure), enhancing its handling capabilities.</p>

    
  
    
  


<h2>KTM 390 Enduro R Ergonomics &amp; Features</h2>

<p>The new Enduro R strikes a thoughtful balance between functional tech and minimalist design. It features all the essential off-road hardware, which includes dual-channel ABS with an off-road mode, traction control, and selectable Street and Off-road ride modes – notably, there’s no Rain mode as found on the 390 Adventure.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/KTM-390-Enduro-R-Speedometer-1747313158262.webp" alt="KTM 390 Enduro R-Speedometer.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>The updated switchgear feels tactile and intuitive, and there is a dedicated button to disable rear ABS on the fly, making transitions to dirt riding quick and seamless. The smaller TFT display is sharp, legible, and easy to navigate, offering smartphone connectivity and clear ride mode indicators. Within Off-road mode, riders can customise their experience by disabling traction control and even the quickshifter.</p><p>Swinging a leg over the Enduro R immediately reveals its intent. At 860mm, the seat height is 30mm taller than the 390 Adventure’s, which may pose a challenge for shorter riders, especially in tricky situations. It’s worth noting that the international version sits even higher at 890mm, adding an even bigger hurdle for less-experienced riders to climb (pun intended).</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/KTM-390-Enduro-R-Motion1-1747313212204.webp" alt="KTM 390 Enduro R-Motion1.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>The pillion grab rails, while practical, extend upward rather prominently and can snag a leg during mounting. That said, once seated, the bike feels purpose-built. The long, firm seat offers excellent support and ample fore-aft movement – crucial for managing traction off-road. The centrally-mounted footpegs and wide handlebars form a confident and comfortable rider triangle, ideal for both seated cruising and aggressive stand-up riding. One minor drawback, inherited from the Adventure, is the tendency of the plastic side panels to get scuffed over time, especially with off-road boots.</p>

    
  
    
  


<h2>KTM 390 Enduro R Engine Performance &amp; Off-Road Capability</h2>

<p>At its core, the 390 Enduro R retains the familiar 399cc LC4c engine, producing the same 46bhp and 39Nm of torque as the 390 Adventure. However, revised engine mapping and a shorter final drive ratio (14/48 vs 14/46) result in a noticeable difference.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/12/KTM_Enduro_R_Engine_Review_autoX-1764747862703.webp" alt="KTM_Enduro_R_Engine_Review_autoX.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>Given its reduced weight, the Enduro R feels livelier and more urgent, delivering an extra dose of punch. It remains a rev-happy motor, offering strong performance through the mid-range and top-end. That said, riders navigating tight, technical terrain may still crave a bit more low-end grunt. This is an engine that demands rider engagement, rewarding active, energetic inputs. The six-speed gearbox is well-spaced and shifts cleanly, with first and second gears proving particularly useful for both city commuting and trail riding. Despite a smaller 285mm front disc (down from 320mm on the Adventure), braking performance is strong.</p><p>Where the 390 Enduro R truly earns its stripes is off the beaten path. The revised suspension tuning makes an immediate impression. It’s far more compliant than that of the 390 Adventure – it soaks up bumps, ruts, and undulations with a newfound composure. That familiar issue of front-end bottoming on sharp hits and heavy landings has been largely resolved.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/12/KTM_Enduro_R_Suspension_Review_autoX-1764747890741.webp" alt="KTM_Enduro_R_Suspension_Review_autoX.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>The bike now settles quickly and confidently, encouraging riders to carry more speed through demanding terrain. However, with the 18-inch rear wheel and 205mm of travel, the rear end tends to bottom out with harder hits. Impressively, this newfound off-road capability doesn’t come at the cost of on-road performance. Thanks to its Duke-derived chassis, the Enduro R remains agile and engaging on the tarmac, carving corners with a sharpness few dual-purpose bikes in India can match.</p>

    
  
    
  


    
  
    
  
<h2>KTM 390 Enduro R Verdict: Should You Buy One?</h2>

<p>Overall, the 390 Enduro R stands out as the most capable off-road machine in KTM India’s 390 lineup. With its reduced weight, revised gearing, properly tuned and adjustable suspension, and the all-important 21/18 spoked wheel setup, it’s a machine that truly shines once the road ends. It thoughtfully addresses many of the standard Adventure’s shortcomings for serious off-road use. That said, in its stock trim, it’s neither a hardcore enduro weapon nor a proper tourer. The smaller fuel tank, high-strung engine character (for some), and tall seat height clearly define its niche. This is a bike best suited for enthusiasts who blend spirited road riding with challenging weekend trail adventures, or, perhaps, for dirt riders looking for a versatile road-legal second bike.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/KTM-390-Enduro-R-Motion-1747313152284.webp" alt="KTM 390 Enduro R-Motion.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    

<p>Against its chief rival, the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, the Enduro R offers a sharper, more performance-focused alternative, albeit at a higher price. It’s not just a modified Adventure – it’s a thoughtfully created, factory-built response to what KTM fans have long been asking for. And the best part? KTM India has confirmed that the full-blown international-spec Enduro R will also join the lineup, giving riders the option of a no-compromise package straight from the showroom.

KTM 390 Enduro R First Ride Review - R-eality Check

KTM fans have long desired a more serious off-road machine based on the 390 platform. The Enduro R promises to deliver just that. But does it live up to the hype?

<p><a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/ktm/">KTM</a> has issued a global recall for the 2024 lineup of the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/ktm/125-duke-2025/">125 Duke</a>, <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/ktm/250-duke/">250 Duke</a>,<a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/ktm/390-duke/"> 390 Duke</a>, and 990 Duke. While the brand has not disclosed how many units of each model are affected, it has identified a quality issue with certain fuel tank cap seals that do not meet the company's standards. Variations in the seal material could lead to tiny cracks forming over time, increasing the risk of fuel leaking around the tank cap. To uphold safety standards and product reliability, the company has advised all owners of the affected motorcycles to visit any authorised dealership, where the faulty fuel tank cap seal will be replaced free of charge.</p><p>KTM is reaching out to owners of the impacted motorcycles through personal notifications, advising them to promptly get in touch with an authorised KTM dealer to schedule the replacement. Owners can also verify their motorcycle’s recall status on the KTM website under the 'Service' section.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/ktm-390cc-duke-rc-adventure-prices-remain-unchanged-post-gst-update-121822/">KTM 390cc Duke, RC, Adventure Prices Remain Unchanged Post-GST Update</a></p><p>As mentioned, the replacement will be provided at no cost exclusively at authorised KTM dealerships, ensuring optimal safety and reliability.</p><h2><strong>Other Major Highlights</strong></h2><p><a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/bajaj/">Bajaj Auto</a> has officially assumed full control of KTM AG following the completion of all regulatory approvals for its €800-million acquisition.

KTM Duke 125, 250, 390 & 990 Recalled Globally — Here’s Why

While KTM has not disclosed the number of units affected, it has identified a quality issue with certain fuel tank cap seals that do not meet the company's standards.

<p>Bajaj Auto has taken full control of KTM AG after receiving all regulatory approvals for its €800-million takeover. The final clearance from European authorities closed a process that had been under review for several months. Bajaj Auto International Holdings BV, a fully owned subsidiary, has acquired all shares of Pierer Bajaj AG, the holding company that oversaw KTM and its parent group. With this, Bajaj now owns about 74.9 per cent of Pierer Mobility AG, the company that directly controls KTM AG. This ends the earlier shared-ownership model and places Bajaj in charge of KTM’s decisions, operations, and long-term direction.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/ktm-390-adventure-adventure-x-prices-increased-in-india-heres-what-youll-pay-now-122239/">KTM 390 Adventure, Adventure X Prices Increased in India – Here’s What You’ll Pay Now</a></p><p>Before this deal, Bajaj held only a minority stake in KTM while the Pierer Group managed the company. The takeover shifts full authority to Bajaj, and the restructuring includes new names for the holding companies. Pierer Bajaj AG is now Bajaj Auto International Holdings AG, and Pierer Mobility AG has been renamed Bajaj Mobility AG. These changes reflect the new ownership and Bajaj’s expanded role within the organisation.</p><p>

KTM and Bajaj have worked together since 2007 under a joint development programme in India. Full ownership now allows Bajaj to directly influence product development, manufacturing plans, and global market strategies across KTM’s operations. It also supports Bajaj’s broader strategy in segments where KTM already has a strong global reach.</p><p>The €800-million acquisition was funded through a Bajaj subsidiary and secured all approvals under the European Union’s Foreign Subsidies Act and competition authorities. With the legal process complete, Bajaj has started restructuring KTM’s supervisory and management boards. These changes are designed to align leadership with the new ownership and prepare KTM for its next phase of global growth.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/ktm-990-rc-r-unveiled-globally-key-specs-features-and-india-launch-timeline-121952/">KTM 990 RC R Unveiled Globally: Key Specs, Features, and India Launch Timeline</a></p><p>With the Pierer Group exiting completely, Bajaj now controls KTM’s worldwide operations. This includes decisions on motorcycle development, market direction, motorsport programmes, and global expansion. However, Bajaj’s plan to cut overheads by more than 50% has raised concerns around KTM’s MotoGP and other racing activities.</p><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/09/KTM-MotoGP-Rider-Pedro-Acosta-(1)-1758001801789.webp" alt="KTM MotoGP Rider Pedro Acosta (1).jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>KTM Racing, which operates as a separate legal entity, may face budget reductions or structural changes.

Bajaj Auto Takes Full Control Of KTM: Here's Everything You Need to Know

Bajaj Auto takes full control of KTM, gaining 74.9% ownership and full decision-making power, while uncertainty grows over KTM’s MotoGP and other racing programs. 

<p><a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/ktm/">KTM</a> has increased the prices of its 390 Adventure range in India after the festive season. The Adventure X now costs Rs 3.26 lakh, an increase of Rs 22,410, while the standard 390 Adventure is now Rs 27,000 more expensive at Rs 3.95 lakh. Both are ex-showroom prices. During the GST 2.0 hike, KTM absorbed the additional cost, which helped boost sales during Diwali. </p><p>Now, the company has passed on the increase, making the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/ktm/390-adventure-x/">Adventure X</a> nearly as expensive as the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/royal-enfield/himalayan-450/">Royal Enfield Himalayan 450</a>.

KTM has unveiled the 990 RC R for the global market, featuring WP suspension, an aero fairing, and multiple ABS and ride modes. 

<p>KTM has confirmed a major tie-up with the Indian Supercross Racing League (ISRL) ahead of its second season, taking over naming rights for the Tricolor Motorsports franchise.

For ISRL, the agreement marks an important step in drawing international involvement, while for KTM it opens a clear route to engage with India’s motorsport fanbase.</p><p> The KTM branding will now feature across ISRL Season 2 activities, from race weekends and promotional campaigns to fan engagement efforts. Linking its global off-road racing profile to India’s first professional supercross series allows KTM to extend its motorsport footprint in a category where it already enjoys established success worldwide.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/motorsport-news/motogp-exit-for-oliveira-chantra-confirmed-as-bmw-honda-announce-2026-worldsbk-line-ups-121872/">MotoGP Exit for Oliveira &amp; Chantra Confirmed as BMW, Honda Announce 2026 WorldSBK Line-ups</a></p><p>For Tricolor Motorsports, the change is more than cosmetic.

KTM Secures Naming Rights for Tricolor Motorsports for ISRL Season 2

<p>KTM has confirmed that it will not increase ex-showroom prices for its 390cc lineup, including the Duke, Adventure, and RC models,&nbsp;despite the higher GST imposed on motorcycles above 350cc. The new GST classifies motorcycles above 350cc as luxury goods,&nbsp;increasing the tax rate to 40%. Previously, these models were subject to a 28% GST plus a 3% cess, totaling 31%.&nbsp;While many high-end motorcycle prices have climbed since the revised GST took effect on September 22, 2025, KTM has opted&nbsp;to absorb the additional cost rather than pass it on to customers. KTM’s move reflects its confidence in the 390cc segment&nbsp;and sets it apart from rivals that have raised prices. It reinforces the brand’s commitment to value and customer satisfaction, despite rising taxes and regulatory changes.</p><p>Speaking on the announcement, Manik Nangia, President, Probiking Business Unit, said, ‘KTM has always stood for accessible, performance-driven motorcycling. We love the fact that we have more than half a million customers,&nbsp;who trust us, and spread the enthusiasm for performance motorcycling; they are our true advocates and flag bearers.'</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/2026-ktm-690-enduro-r-690-smc-r-revealed-with-euro-5-compliant-engine-121482/">2026 KTM 690 Enduro R, 690 SMC R Revealed With Euro 5+ Compliant Engine</a></p><p>He also added, 'By keeping ex-showroom prices unchanged on our &gt;390cc range and passing on the benefits of GST reduction on the 160 Duke, 200 Duke, 250 Duke, etc, we reaffirm our commitment to motorcycling.’</p><h2>KTM Models Under 350cc Get More Affordable: Everything You Need to Know</h2><p>While motorcycles above 350cc have become more expensive under the new GST structure, models up to or under that limit have seen a price drop with GST reduced to 18% from 28%. KTM has passed on this benefit directly to buyers across its sub-350cc range, which includes the 160 Duke, 200 Duke,  250 Duke, RC 200, and 250 Adventure, making performance biking more affordable than ever.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/ktm-160-duke-vs-yamaha-mt-15-spec-comparison-whats-different-121463/"> KTM 160 Duke vs Yamaha MT-15 Spec Comparison: What's Different?</a></p><p>The 160 Duke now starts at Rs 1.70 lakh, marking a decrease of Rs 14,000 from its previous price of Rs 1.84 lakh. Meanwhile, the 200 Duke sees&nbsp;a drop of Rs 16,000, selling at a new price of Rs 1.91 lakh. The 250 Duke and RC 200 are&nbsp;now more affordable by Rs 18,000 each, priced at Rs 2.12 lakh and Rs 2.15 lakh,&nbsp;respectively. However, the 250 Adventure gets the biggest cut of Rs 20,000, with a revised price tag of Rs 2.40 lakh. </p>

KTM 390cc Duke, RC, Adventure Prices Remain Unchanged Post-GST Update

KTM has made its sub-350cc models, including the 160 Duke, 200 Duke, and 250 Adventure, more affordable by passing on GST benefits to buyers. 

<p>Bajaj Auto Ltd. has confirmed a notable price&nbsp;revision across its Bajaj and KTM range, following the most recent GST update.&nbsp;Models from both brands with engine capacities of 350cc or below will see price reductions of up to Rs 20,000. However, the company has not disclosed the exact price list.&nbsp;Bajaj models to benefit from the price reductions include Avenger, Pulsar, Platina, and CT series. On the KTM side, the eligible bikes are the Duke 160, Duke 200, Duke 250,&nbsp;RC 200, and the 250 Adventure.&nbsp;The revised prices will come into effect starting September 22,&nbsp;2025.</p><p>Under GST 2.0, two-wheelers with engines up to and including 350cc now attract a lower tax rate of 18%,&nbsp;down from the earlier 28%.&nbsp;In contrast, bikes exceeding 350cc will see&nbsp;a new 40% GST rate,&nbsp;replacing the earlier effective tax of 31%.&nbsp;This will make premium motorcycles&nbsp;significantly more expensive going forward.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/bajaj-pulsar-n150-discontinued-in-india-model-delisted-from-website-121237/">Bajaj Pulsar N150 Discontinued in India?

KTM Duke 160 Review | Aggressive New Benchmark or MT-15 Killer? | autoX

The KTM Duke 160 is here — replacing the Duke 125 as the most affordable Duke in the lineup. But don’t mistake it for an entry-level bike — with 19bhp, 15.5Nm, and a kerb weight that’s 12kg lighter than the Duke 200, KTM has built it to be sharper, more aggressive, and arguably the new benchmark in the 160cc segment.

<p>When <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/ktm/">KTM</a>
first stormed into India, it didn't just launch a motorcycle – it unleashed a
revolution. The Duke single-handedly redefined performance motorcycling, pairing
a potent engine with a lightweight chassis that was nothing short of
exhilarating. </p>
<p><span>Now, for 2025, KTM is bringing that same ‘Ready
to Race’ ethos to the fiercely contested 160cc segment with the all-new <a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/ktm-160-duke-launched-in-india-at-rs-185-lakh-121456/">Duke
160</a>. It replaces the Duke 125 as the family's entry point. Interestingly,
it’s not just the most powerful 160cc machine on paper but also, according to KTM, has been tuned to be
even more aggressive than its own 200cc sibling. The
question, however, is – does it have what it takes to become the new segment
benchmark in terms of performance? Let's find out.</span></p><iframe width="400" height="345" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/iNuE69MmxKM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><h2>KTM Duke 160 First Ride Review: Design and Features</h2><p>At first glance, the Duke 160 is unmistakably part of the
family, with the sharp, aggressive Gen-2 silhouette we’ve come to expect. The
edgy lines, sculpted tank, and athletic stance all scream performance. Yet
subtle differences set it apart. The rear tyre is a slimmer 140/60-section
radial (down from the 150-section on the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/ktm/200-duke/">Duke 200</a>) mounted
on new five-spoke ‘bionic’ wheels with hollow axles, borrowed from the RC
range. This revision was necessary to accommodate a massive 320mm front brake
disc – up from 300mm on the 200 Duke and significantly larger than the 282mm unit on its
main rival – the <a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/2025-yamaha-mt-15-version-20-launched-in-india-at-rs-169-lakh-gets-new-tft-display-121400/">Yamaha
MT-15</a>.&nbsp;</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/08/KTM-Duke-160-front-1756272346403.webp" alt="KTM Duke 160 front.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image"><p>But the real headline here is weight. KTM’s engineers have
managed to shed a full 12kgs compared to the 200 Duke – not through one big
change, but a series of meticulous optimisations. The trellis frame, while
structurally similar, now uses thinner tubing. The 37mm WP Apex front forks are
lighter, thanks to slimmer outer tubes. Further weight savings come from cast
pillion footpegs, a narrower rear tyre, and even redesigned grab handles. In
short, the bike has been put on a deliberate diet, aimed at sharpening its core
character.</p>
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/08/KTM-Duke-160-LCD-display-1756272405750.webp" alt="KTM Duke 160 LCD display.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      <p>In terms of features, it’s a mixed bag. It comes with
essentials like an LED headlamp and switchable dual-channel ABS, with the rear
channel disengageable for some good old-fashioned sliding. The instrument
console, however, is a step back. Borrowed from the older Dukes, the LCD unit
is feature-packed but frustratingly hard to read – even on cloudy days, the
dot-matrix font is difficult to read at a glance. The microswitch cube,
borrowed from Gen-3 Dukes, makes navigating menus a breeze, but you’ll still
have to quint to see information on the screen. You can also get Bluetooth
connectivity with turn-by-turn navigation and call alerts, but only as an
optional extra.</p></div>
    <h2>KTM Duke 160 First Ride Review: Performance and Handling</h2><p>Thumb the starter, and the 165cc liquid-cooled SOHC engine
fires up with that familiar KTM growl. Out on the road, it shows another
classic KTM trait: hesitation off the line. Compared to the <a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/bike-reviews/yamaha-fz-s-hybrid-review-121271/">Yamaha</a>
MT-15’s punchy VVA motor or the rev-happy DOHC character of the Duke 200, the
160 feels a touch lazier down low. Instead, it prefers to build its power,
waking up with a satisfying surge higher in the rev range. KTM quotes a 0 – 60
km/h time of 4.5 seconds, but from the saddle, it feels a little less urgent
than the numbers suggest.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/08/KTM-Duke-160-engine-1756272447252.webp" alt="KTM Duke 160 engine.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>Its real highlight, though, is its incredible tractability.
A lighter flywheel helps the engine rev up quickly, while the standard slipper
clutch makes shifts slick and smooth and keeps downshifts neatly rev-matched.
The motor is flexible enough to pull cleanly from low RPM, even in higher gears
– you can sit in fourth at 4,000rpm and cruise anywhere between 40 – 80 km/h
without a hint of stress. That makes it surprisingly versatile and
well-mannered for daily city use.</p>
<p>Now, the engine does run hot, and the radiator fan kicks in
every 5 – 10 minutes in traffic. This, despite a radiator that’s 49% larger
than its rivals’, suggests thermal management still isn’t perfect. Even so, the
Duke 160 remains a decently quick, entertaining package.</p><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/08/KTM-Duke-160-radiator-1756272667885.webp" alt="KTM Duke 160 radiator.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </p><p>If the engine is the heart, then handling is the soul, and
this is where the Duke 160 truly shines. The front USD forks, carried over from
the 200 Duke, are now shorter, while a sharper rake angle makes the bike
noticeably more agile. Combined with strategic weight savings, all this results
in a machine that feels light on its feet and effortlessly flickable in city
traffic. It’s a great little sporty runabout that dives into corners with real
eagerness. Grip comes from MRF RevZ radials, and even with the slimmer
140-section rear tyre, traction and composure never feel compromised – the bike
always feels planted and confident.</p>
    <p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/08/KTM-Duke-160-action-1756272574112.webp" alt="KTM Duke 160 action.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>Comfort is another pleasant surprise. Though it shares
suspension components with its siblings, the Duke 160 enjoys added travel compared
to its rivals – 8mm more at the front and a significant 47mm more at the rear. This,
I think, has given it a much better bump absorption capabilities, making it surprisingly compliant over broken city roads.</p><h2>So, Is It Worthy of the Duke Name?</h2><p>Yes, it definitely is. It delivers on its promise of being
an unapologetically sharp and exciting motorcycle for young enthusiasts, with a
potent engine, agile handling, and an aggressive design to match. However, it’s
not without its flaws. The LCD screen’s poor readability is a notable issue,
and at Rs 1.85 lakh (ex-showroom), the price seems a bit steep. KTM has positioned
it uncomfortably close to its own sibling – the Duke 200, which costs around Rs
2.07 lakh. For an extra Rs 22,000, you get more features and more power. On the
other hand, the Yamaha MT-15 delivers similar levels of performance and is
offered at Rs 23,000 less.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/08/KTM-Duke-160-rear-design-1756272721442.webp" alt="KTM Duke 160 rear design.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>So, who is this for? I’d say newcomers seeking a motorcycle
that’s thrilling, packed with premium hardware and capable of honing their
skills for bigger, faster machines. If that’s you, the Duke 160 is perhaps the
best teacher in the segment. What it lacks in outright value, it makes up for
in sheer fun and proves that the essence of a Duke has never been about
displacement, but about the excitement it offers in every single ride.</p>

KTM Duke 160 First Ride Review: Does It Live Up To The Family Legacy?

Replacing the baby Duke 125, the new Duke 160 aims to set a new benchmark in the segment. But at Rs 1.85 lakh, it’s pricier than the Yamaha MT-15 and uncomfortably close to the Duke 200. So, is it worth the price?
