2024 KTM 250 Duke Gets New Ebony Black Colour Option in India

KTM India launched the updated 250 Duke last week with a 5.0-inch TFT instrument console and new switchgear, among other things. And now, the company has introduced a new colour option for the 2024 iteration of the 250 Duke. It is called Ebony Black and is on sale in the market alongside other colour options – Ceramic White, Electric Orange, and Atlantic Blue. The all-black bodywork paired with black wheels and orange '250 Duke' decals gives the bike a menacing look. The bike is priced at Rs 2.41 lakh (ex-showroom). The design complements the 390 Duke-borrowed TFT display, which is available with fresh graphics, Bluetooth connectivity, and turn-by-turn navigation. Two display modes are available with the display – Street and Track. Other bits include a bi-directional quickshifter, switchable ABS, and a type-C USB charging port.

The 2024 KTM 250 Duke shares its main frame and subframe with the 390 Duke – trellis and cast aluminium, respectively. The suspension set consists of a 43mm inverted front fork and a preload-adjustable rear monoshock, both WP units. Stopping power comes from a 320mm front disc and a 240mm rear disc brake, accompanied by dual-channel ABS and Supermoto mode. The latter switches off the ABS on the rear wheel. With a 15-litre fuel tank, the bike tips the scale at 163kg.
