Overview

  • The 160 Duke uses a 164.2cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine producing 19 PS at 9,500 rpm and 15.5 Nm of torque, derived from the 200 Duke’s platform.
  • It replaces the discontinued 125 Duke as KTM’s new entry-level naked streetfighter, slotting below the 200 Duke in the lineup.
  • Premium components include a steel trellis frame, WP Apex upside-down front forks, a monoshock rear suspension and dual-channel ABS with off-road mode.
  • Dealer shipments are set to begin within days of launch, backed by financing schemes and an extended 10-year warranty to boost value perception.
  • KTM has announced a fully faired RC 160 variant based on the 160 Duke, slated to debut in the coming weeks to strengthen its 160cc portfolio.
