Overview

  • KTM India has officially teased the Duke 160, marking the replacement of the Duke 125 and RC 125 with a new entry-level streetfighter.
  • It is built on the second-generation 200 Duke’s trellis-frame chassis, featuring 43mm upside-down front forks, a rear monoshock and dual-channel ABS, while a 5-inch TFT instrument cluster is reported to be in development.
  • The company is targeting a late-August 2025 launch in India to capitalise on the upcoming festive season.
  • Power is expected from a 160cc single-cylinder engine tuned for 19–20hp, with some outlets speculating on a Bajaj-sourced 160.3cc unit rated at 17hp.
  • Pricing is projected at Rs. 1.70–1.85 lakh ex-showroom, positioning the Duke 160 against rivals such as the Yamaha MT-15 and TVS Apache RTR 160 4V.
