Overview

KTM's most diminutive Duke may be an ideal entry-level naked motorcycle, but it looks every bit the part of its family lineage. For 2024, the 250 Duke gets an updated LC4c engine, a new frame, new suspension, LED lighting, and new tech features.

The engine is an updated version of the LC4c, which is a 249cc liquid-cooled single with electronic fuel injection. Claimed horsepower is 31, while peak torque is rated at 18 lb.-ft.

An all-new steel-trellis frame, pressure die-cast aluminum subframe, and cast aluminum swingarm make up the chassis. At the front is a 43mm WP Apex big piston fork with 5.9 inches of travel, while a WP Apex shock with identical travel and preload adjustability is used at the rear. A radial-mount four-piston caliper and 320mm single disc is used up front, while a two-piston caliper and 240mm disc out back both utilize cornering ABS and a Supermoto mode.
