            Great Budget Bike with Ultra Performance
            It is a great budget bike for youngsters who like to ride fast. Because of its ABS it is completely safe. The onroad support from KTM will be really helpful. The mileage is around 30kmpl and the performance is really good. The pickup is good, that it reaches 100kmph speed in less than 15 seconds. It is very comfortable as well, I have never faced any discomfort while riding even for a long time. I would definitely recommend this bike for youngsters who are planning to buy a budget bike.

            My honest review
            I own this bike for last 6 months and I personally obtained a awesome ride experience and comfort on this duke 250 gen 3 edition. Mileage and maintenance cost are acceptable. I feel tha raw power on this motor cycle and the brakes gives more confidence to achieve the top end. I don't even feel any kind of wobbling issues at the low end and also in top end. The bike gives the butter smooth ride experience..

            KTM Duke 250
            Overall the performance of the KTM duke 250 is quite awesome and also comes with pretty loaded features the mileage will be quite low 28-30kmpl.The sudden pickup and all others compared to bs 4 here it is quite less but gives a good handy bike in the segment of 3 Lakhs worth the money, the ktm service is too good and supportive and quick.
