Delhi : KTM India has priced the 2023 200 Duke at 1.96 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), which is 3,155 more than the current 200 Duke.

WP Apex supplied both suspension components. The brakes are also impressive, with a 300 mm disc in front and a 230 mm disc in back. Bybre callipers are used, and there is dual-channel ABS as well as SuperMoto ABS (single-channel ABS). The motorbike will continue to include an LCD digital instrument cluster with plenty of information, as well as warning lights.
