KTM has just leveled up its entry-level streetfighter game in India. The brand has introduced a new, tech-loaded variant of the KTM 160 Duke, now featuring a high-definition 5-inch colour TFT display. This update brings a slice of the premium experience from KTM’s larger displacement bikes down to the 160cc segment.
1. The Big Upgrade: A “Mini 390 Duke” Console
The star of the show is the new instrument cluster. Derived directly from the Gen-3 KTM 390 Duke, this 5-inch bonded glass TFT display completely transforms the cockpit.
- Enhanced Connectivity: When paired with the KTM My Ride app, the screen supports turn-by-turn navigation, Bluetooth connectivity for music control, and incoming call alerts.
- New Switchgear: To navigate the new interface, KTM has updated the switchgear with a four-way menu selector on the handlebar, making it intuitive to toggle through settings.
- Customization: Riders can now set personalized shift RPMs and limit RPMs. The display even switches themes (between dark and orange) once those limits are reached.
2. Performance & Electronics
While the visuals are new, the 160 Duke retains its punchy mechanical heart:
- Engine: The 164cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine continues to produce 18.73bhp and 15.5Nm of torque, mated to a six-speed gearbox.
Supermoto ABS: The new TFT display unlocks the Supermoto ABS mode, allowing riders to disengage the rear ABS for a more “hooligan” riding style in controlled scenarios.
3. Pricing & Value
This tech-forward variant is positioned just above the standard model:
Price: Rs. 1.79 Lakh (Ex-showroom, Delhi).
The Premium: This version is approximately Rs. 9,000 more expensive than the standard 160 Duke, which uses a basic LCD display.
For riders who want the aggressive KTM styling paired with the latest connectivity features, this new 160 Duke variant offers the best tech-to-displacement ratio in its class. Whether you’re navigating city streets with turn-by-turn directions or just want that premium “Big Duke” feel, the 160 Duke TFT is ready to deliver.
