KTM Duke 150 Review – The delay brought about by high pricing in the 200cc and above 250 cc segments is now making an entry point for new performance motorcycles from KTM. This is because for the entry-level performance bikes that KTM will launch soon, called the KTM Duke 150, the new model will be released sometime in 2025. It is an entry-level model, but having an aggressive design, refinement in the engine, and the DNA of sporty riding make it a Duke.
Bold Styling Of New Gen
The new Duke model would likely have that completely new 2024 Duke design: a brash tank, muscular cowls, large graphics, and a narrow LED headlamp. Just from the way it looks, it’s undeniably in the Duke family. It will surely sport an even sportier and more premium feel than any other 150cc bike because it is definitely made to turn heads in the streets.
Liquid-cooled 150cc Engine.
This engine has got to be the definitive new creation from KTM. Together, this liquid-cooled engine would be expected to give an output of about 18-20 PS to give the best competition in this segment. This engine would be aimed at sport rides, but, as KTM made it, could also be used in conjunction as a city buddy, where even with novices, riding would not give that much intimidation. 40-45 is the expectation in terms of mileage.

As always, KTM is ahead of the curve with its tech and features, so the Duke 150 will come with an abundance of top-end features.
Wide tyres, split seat design, USD front forks and mono-shock, and a lightweight trellis frame will make a complete difference in the experience of riding.
Riding it in the city would also work out fine with its highways.
Digital Console And Smart Features
As with the new Duke members, it would be fully loaded with a TFT screen highly digitally built into features such as Bluetooth, navigation, alert notification, and call notification. Highly believed to fall under its belt against much higher competition, like the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V and Yamaha MT-15. Expected Price & Launch Timeline
Costing expected
around ₹1.70 lakhs-1.90 lakhs (ex-showroom), slated for launch in the second half of 2025. Slightly on the premium side, but good enough for Duke fans to justify.

For an average rider wanting worthwhile performance in good styling and brand value within the 125cc or 150cc segment, the KTM Duke 150 may just become one brilliant option. Fantastic bike for those looking to have the sporty DNA in their ride, but not blow the bank buying a 200cc bike.
