KTM DUKE has a storied legacy of redefining the premium sport motorcycle category. The all-new Gen-3 KTM DUKEs represent an evolutionary leap forward, combining KTM's READY TO RACE DNA and being closer to their larger sibling, the KTM SUPERDUKE.

HIGHEST POWER-TO-WEIGHT RATIO EVER

Delivering a knockout punch is an entirely new generation of lightweight, compact, single-cylinder engines. Dubbed the LC4c, the engine range is made up of a larger 399-cc engine, as found in the KTM 390 DUKE, and a 250-cc engine for the KTM 250 DUKE. Building from the experience gained with the previous generation, these powerplants are completely redesigned, with newly optimized cylinder heads and gearboxes. The new 2-piece frame, wheels, and brake discs have been designed for significant weight saving in each model. These upgrades have allowed the Gen-3 KTM DUKEs to achieve the highest-ever power-to-weight ratio.

The models boast segment-first features like – Launch Control, Adjustable Suspension, Track Mode, MTC with Ride Modes, Cornering ABS, Quickshifter+, SuperMoto ABS, and 5” Dashboards with Smartphone Bluetooth Connectivity.

DESIGNED LIKE THE SUPERDUKE

Bringing more DUKENESS to each division – apart from a new metal fuel tank and high-quality surface finishes – the Gen-3 DUKE stablemates have embraced their identities, with visual differences across the range derived from the KTM SUPERDUKE. The frame is now mated to an all-new curved lightweight swingarm, contours around the right off-set rear mono-shock.
