THE BACKBONE
Frame
The new design features a 2-piece construction composed of an all-new steel trellis main frame with a pressure die-cast aluminum subframe. The rear shock absorber is now also mounted off-center to allow for a larger airbox while reducing seat height and, at the same time, adding to the DUKE's aggressive stance. Not only designed for looks, the primary objective of the frame design is to enhance vehicle dynamics by augmenting torsional rigidity, improved agility, and enhanced feedback from the chassis.
CURVED PIVOT
Swingarm
A new curved cast aluminum swingarm provides a sturdy and durable platform for the rear suspension system, featuring a direct shock absorber mount that is now offset to the side, for that super-racy look. This also creates additional space for the new exhaust muffler, providing added attitude.
SPRING INTO ACTION
Fork
Upfront, a 43 mm WP APEX big piston fork with 150 mm travel keeps things in check, ensuring rock-solid performance on all street conditions.
MAX TRACTION
Rear Shock
On the rear, you'll find an off-center WP APEX Emulsion shock absorber with 150 mm of travel and 60 mm of stroke. The rear shock is also preload adjustable.
ROLLING THUNDER
Wheels and Tires
Reducing weight where it counts the most, the 2024 KTM DUKE range has made significant inroads at reducing unsprung mass thanks to a set of lightweight wheels, wrapped in MERF steel radial tires. This not only improves the overall handling characteristics but also means quicker turn-in and less strain on working components like axels and bearings.
STOPPING POWER
Brakes
On the front wheel, the KTM 250 DUKE boasts a 320 mm brake disk with brand-new four-piston radial calipers. The new design includes bigger disks to reduce the operating temperature with improvements in the resistance to fading and longer pad lifespan. On the rear wheel, a 240 mm brake disk is installed with a brand-new single-piston caliper which carries the same benefits as the front wheel. Cornering ABS and SUPERMOTO ABS are also standard features.
