KTM 160 Duke

The 160 Duke is the latest entrant in the Duke family, and it has replaced the 125 Duke as the entry-point in the lineup. It is based on the 200 Duke, with which it also shares its design. However, the mechanicals have been tweaked heavily and it gets a slimmer features list. The KTM 160 Duke competes against the Yamaha MT-15 V2.

On Target

The 160 Duke offers more than competitors, making KTM’s hooligan brand accessible without losing its edge.

What We Like

Best-in-segment performance, switchable ABS, and styling that resembles the 200 Duke

What We Do Not Like

LCD display feels outdated, and a 10.1L fuel tank limits the riding range. Rivals offer more features at this price point.

Features

The 160 Duke definitely seems like an interesting idea, especially given how much it offers compared to the competition in this segment. While the 125 Duke ultimately did not work out as an entry-level Duke, KTM looks to fix that with the 160 Duke, by making the Duke brand accessible to a wider range of buyers, but without losing its hooligan nature.

The highest performance numbers in this segment.

Packs more features than most rivals.

Gets switchable dual-channel ABS.

What could have been better

The design from the older series Duke simply looks too dated.

Latest Updates on 160 Duke

28th August 20258 months ago

According to internal testing, the motorcycle delivers around 40 kmpl, making it roughly 10 per cent more fuel-efficient than the KTM 200 Duke. While the official ARAI-certified mileage figures are still awaited, KTM’s claimed numbers position the 160 Duke competitively within its segment.

11th August 20258 months ago

KTM has launched the 160 Duke in India at an ex-showroom price of Rs 1.85 lakh. This is now the most affordable Duke in India, as the 125 version was recently discontinued. In terms of design and mechanical components, it is exactly the same as the 200, but with a smaller engine.

7th August 20258 months ago

A new addition is set to join the KTM Duke family, and this one appears aimed squarely at entry-level performance enthusiasts. Expected to replace the discontinued KTM 125 Duke, the upcoming KTM 160 Duke is likely to slot in as a more accessible alternative within the brand’s streetfighter lineup. Once launched, it will take on established rivals such as the Yamaha MT-15 V2, Bajaj Pulsar N160, and Hero Xtreme 160R in the competitive 150–160cc segment.
