KTM 200 Duke gets custom race livery

The KTM 200 Duke’s radical design and no holds barred racing intent has earned it a legion of fans in India after its launch in January this year.

Now KTM has revealed a new set of custom ‘raceline’ stickers to make it look even more radical. For an introductory price of Rs 4560, these stickers are designed for the fuel tank, with WP stickers for the front shock absorbers, rear seat cowl and engine cowl, and KTM Racing stickers for the frame and rims.

This is sure to endear the brand even more to young bikers.  KTM India’s Facebook page has more than 1.5 lakh fans since it was set up earlier this year, and there are at least four active fan pages consisting of Duke owners from around the country. Bajaj had showcased the KTM bikes in India around four years ago.

The 200 Duke is one of the best 200cc bikes in the country with a best in class power-to-weight ratio of 184PS/tonne. The 4-valve single-cylinder liquid-cooled fuel injected DOHC motor produces 25PS of power and 19Nm of torque. The bike is the fastest among the 200cc crop with a blistering 0-100km/h time of 9.01 seconds and a top speed of about 136km/h. The trellis frame, short handlebars and grippy tyres make it a hoot around corners.
