“The launch of ‘Duke’ is one of the many steps in our association with KTM over the last five years. Between Bajaj Pulsar and KTM ‘Duke’ we intend to further strengthen our position in sports motorcycle segment in India,” said Rajiv Bajaj, Managing Director- Bajaj Auto Limited.

KTM Duke 200, as it’s name suggest is powered by a 200cc four stroke engine which develops 25hp maximum power @ 10,000rpm and 19.2Nm of maximum torque at 8,000rpm. The engine  is mated to a 6 speed gearbox. The kerb weight of  KTM Duke 200 is just  126 kilogram that means the bike comes with excellent power to weight ratio.

Bajaj Auto has set up 32 exclusive showrooms to sell  KTM range of bikes. Company has already converted their probiking showrooms to Ready to Race showrooms. The same showrooms will sell Kawasaki range of bikes as well. Bajaj Auto has also set up 40 service centres exclusively  for KTM bikes. Bajaj is planning to bring one new model to India every year. Probably KTM Duke 350 could be next big launch in our market.

As we said earlier, KTM Duke 200 price looks very attractive. A good level of localization might have helped  Bajaj Auto to keep the price under tab. Probably a very good lesson for manufacturers like Honda, Yamaha and  Suzuki.

So ready for race..?
