The KTM Duke 200 was the bike which kickstarted the brand’s Indian journey. This bike paved a successful pathway for the Austrian manufacturer and hence has a salient presence for the brand. To keep up the model in the game, KTM has planned to bring a new generation Duke 200 for Indian buyers. This new bike was spotted testing on roads which revealed its new design for the fuel tank and revised sleeker headlamps and tail lamps. Also, we could spot the replacement of the front brake discs to the other which is derived from the next generation RC models.

The ‘Ready To Race’ badging is not just limited to the 390cc models. The brand also has some extremely aggressive bikes on its global lineup. One of the bikes is the Duke 790 which sits between the Duke 390 and the Duke 890. The brand launched it in the year 2019 but had to bid adieu due to the stringent emission norms. However, there are chances that the brand will bring it back in the upcoming year. If launched, it could be one of the meanest looking bikes with a performance-packed engine too making 103bhp and 87Nm of torque. The pricing of this bike is expected to start at Rs 8.70 lakh (ex-showroom).

Having two adventure bikes rather than one has always proven beneficial. Another bike that could be brought to India from the KTM global models is the 890 Adventure. As the name suggests, it is the more powerful bike with 103bhp and 100Nm of torque. To capitalize more on the adventure segment, this bike could be the perfect option for buyers who are willing to upgrade to a higher displacement bike.
