2024 KTM India Launches Wrapup: New Bikes Launched, Updates & More

KTM India had launched some interesting bikes this year, along with updates on their existing offerings. In this wrapup, we will be giving you a brief overview of the launches and updates that we saw in 2024. 

KTM Big Bikes Launched

KTM in 2024 brought some of their higher capacity offerings to the Indian market. It included 4 bikes: KTM 1390 Super Duke R, KTM 1290 Super Adventure S, KTM 890 Duke R and the KTM 890 Adventure R. Here’s a brief breakdown of their prices:

The KTM 1390 Super Duke R is the most powerful bikes from the Austrian brand. It features an aggressive design with the sharp headlight section and tank extensions. It is powered by a 1,350cc, liquid-cooled, V-twin motor that outputs 190PS and 145Nm. 

The 1290 Super Adventure S is a road-biased ADV bike. It features alloy wheels instead of spoke wheels like the 1290 Super Adventure R. It is powered by a 1,301cc, liquid-cooled, twin-cylinder engine which produces 160PS and 140Nm. 

The KTM 890 Duke R is a streetfighter bike, whose design inspired the previous generation 390 Duke and 250 Duke’s design. The bike is powered by a 889cc, liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine which outputs 121PS and 99Nm. 

The KTM 890 Adventure R is the Austrian brand’s ADV bikebased on the 890 platform. It features the same engine as the KTM 890 Duke, but the engine produces 16PS less and 1Nm more.

KTM Dirt Bike Range Launched

KTM has also launched their dirtbike range in India, and it includes everything from the 50cc KTM SX 50 to the higher capacity KTM 450 SX-F. Here’s a brief breakdown of their prices: 

The launch of these motocross and enduro bikes is quite a welcome development, as it will give off-roading enthusiasts more options. That said, it is important to note that these bikes are not road legal.

KTM has also announced that they will be working on developing a training eco-system. The brand will be opening a training facility in Bangalore along with a racing program.

KTM Adventure Lineup New Colours

Other than the launches listed above, KTM had bought some much needed changes to their existing models. This includes the launch of new colours on their existing bikes. The KTM Adventure lineup: KTM 390 Adventure and the KTM 250 Adventure both got new colours.

The 390 Adventure got two new shades: White and Black. The new Black trim offers a triple tone finish, with a black fender, fuel tank and side panel. The tank extension is orange, and features black and white liveries. The white colour scheme is similar but offers a white finish on the tank and a dark grey one on the tank extensions.

KTM RC Lineup New Colours

The KTM RC 390, KTM RC 200 And KTM RC 125 have also got some new colours. The RC 390 now gets 2 new colours: Orange and Navy Blue. Out of the two, the Navy Blue colour stands out as something really different. It is perfect for those who want something that is less orange.

For the RC 200, KTM has done something similar. The bike now features 2 colours which do not offer the iconic orange as the main shade. One is a blue colour scheme with orange and black graphics. The colour looks quite good and manages to make the bike stand out. The second colour offered is a black shade, which looks really subtle. The addition of orange and white highlights add an extra bit of flair to the bike overall.

Lastly, the KTM RC 125 has also received two new colours. It includes a blue and orange dual tone colour and a black and orange one. Out of the two, the blue and orange look really good in our opinion. 

2024 KTM 200 Duke And 2024 KTM 250 Duke

Earlier in 2024, KTM had launched new colour schemes for the KTM 200 Duke and KTM 250 Duke. The 250 Duke got a new Blue colour scheme along with a Black one, both look really good and offer an alternative to the orange one. 

The KTM 200 Duke saw the addition of two new colours and the reintroduction of the Silver colour. The new colours look quite good, but out of the 3, the Metallic Silver is the best in our opinion. 

Other than the addition of the new colours, both the bikes have seen a major update in terms of features. Now, KTM has given both the bikes the same 5-inch TFT console as the KTM 390 Duke. This has brought features like smartphone connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation and call/SMS alerts to the table.
