KTM Indonesia has launched the 2017 KTM Duke 250 and
2017 KTM Duke 390 at the ongoing Jakarta Fair 2017. The 2017 KTM Duke 250 is
shaped like the 2017 KTM Duke 390 but gets a regular halogen headlamp. The fuel
tank can now store 13.5-litre of petrol, up from the 11-litre unit in the
outgoing model. The 2017 Duke 250 tips the scales (dry) at 153 kg (up from 139
kg). The seat height has increased from 800 mm to 822 mm.
The powertrain is a 248.8 cc single cylinder, liquid
cooled, fuel injected mill which, coupled to a six-speed gearbox, is capable of
producing 30 PS of power at 9,000 rpm and 24 Nm of torque at 7,500 rpm. It is
not yet confirmed whether the 2017 KTM Duke 250 in Indonesia will get ride by
wire technology.
The instrumentation too continues to be the old LCD
unit and not the swanky TFT screen seen in the 2017 KTM Duke 390. The Duke 250
though will get a slipper clutch and ABS in Indonesia.
Apart from the Duke 250, KTM Indonesia has also
launched the 2017 KTM Duke 390. The bike gets ride by wire and a bigger 320 mm
front disc (up from 300 mm). The powertrain is a 373.2 cc mill which coupled to
a 6-speed gearbox is capable of producing 43.5 PS of maximum power and 37 Nm
(up by 2 Nm) of peak torque.
The 2017 KTM Duke 390 also gets premium features
like a slipper clutch, LED headlamp and a TFT instrumentation panel with
optional smartphone connectivity.

deliveries will begin by end-September 2017. The 2017 KTM Duke 250 and 2017
Duke 390 have been priced at IDR 45.9 million and IDR 99.9 million respectively
