![]() ![]() This bike has the power and torque figures for a young speed freak, yet is not as overwhelming when riding, due to its smooth riding. This bike induces confidence with its technologies. The KTM Duke 125 (Indian) was made for youngsters who have been riding for quite some time and want to get a bike that has lower cc but is very cut-throat aggressive. The tire setup makes this bike one of the best bikes to hit the corners of Bandarban with maximum lean. The stock MRF Revz Radial rear tire (also the front) of this bike is considered to be one of the fattest tires available in Bangladesh. The front and rear wheels have 110/80 and 150/70 tires respectively. The KTM Duke 125 (Indian) gets alloy wheels. Although the rear seat has been said to be fairly stiff, the rear suspension can cover up for that. This means that the bike will be highly stable during rides, cornering, and you can also adjust the rear suspension to your liking and situation. The rear has a preload-adjustable WP mono-shock suspension. The KTM Duke 125 (Indian) has upside-down WP Apex-43 telescopic forks as front suspension. The rear not getting an ABS makes the bike skid in aggressive braking situations. The brakes make the bike safer and more reliable. This means emergency braking will be faster and will be more efficient. The bike also has four-piston radial fixed caliper brakes set up at the front. The KTM Duke 125 (Indian) has Bosch powered single-channel ABS, which means the front gets the ABS and the rear does not. The KTM Duke 125 (Indian) has a 6-speed gearbox, and the bike has an approximate top speed of about 110-115kmph. However, the bike does not get a slipper clutch like the Yamaha R15. The KTM Duke 125 (Indian) has a basic wet multi-plate clutch system. The engine also comes with a Bosch EMS (Engine management system). The bike is expected to have a mileage of around 40-45kmpl on average. While the power is extremely high, the torque figure does get a blow due to the engine size. The engine pumps out a staggering 15BHP of power at 9250rpm and 12Nm torque at 8000rpm. The engine is liquid-cooled and fuel-injected, which are huge plus points for the bike. ![]() The KTM Duke 125 (Indian) comes with a 4-stroke, 4 valves, single-cylinder, and 125cc engine. The bike also has a very average wheelbase of 1366mm, which is enough for a bike of this power to hit the corners with maximum stability. The bike is probably one of the heaviest 125cc bikes ever. The length, width, height, and weight of the KTM Duke 125 (Indian) are 1993mm, 789mm, 1083mm, and 141.4kg. The bike has an 11-liter tank which is smaller than the 13.4-liter tank of the European version, which will affect the range of the bike. The bike also has a shorter rear section, with an undersized rear seat, unlike the stretched-out seat of the European version. ![]() The bike is mostly suited for riders more than 5’7”. The KTM Duke 125 (Indian) is a fairly tall bike, with a seat height of 830mm. This is a bit of a problem as water might creep its way into the exhaust if it floods during the rainy season. The KTM Duke 125 (Indian) comes with an underbelly exhaust setup, unlike the European version, which comes with a regular exhaust. The decals of the bike are very aggressive and good-looking. The KTM Duke 125 (Indian) comes in two colors. However, the mode button allows the rider to explore the options a bit more. The basic contents are RPM, speed, fuel, fuel consumption, time, and gear position indicator. The instrument cluster shows everything necessary. The KTM Duke 125 (Indian) has a basic LED screen with an orange backlight (continuing the Orange theme of KTM). The indicators are minimalistic and thin. The light is somewhat enough to travel around at night. The bike comes with a very simple and rounded headlight setup, unlike the aggressive European version. The KTM Duke 125 (Indian) is the less good-looking of the two versions of the bike. The KTM Duke 125 (Indian) is known as the orange pocket rocket in India, and that fact is also acknowledged here in Bangladesh. This is why every KTM bike has two versions, the European, also known as the Austrian version, and the Indian version. KTM is an Austrian motorcycle brand that collaborated with the Indian motorcycle giant Bajaj to produce KTMs in India. The KTM Duke 125 (Indian) fortunately being 125cc made its way to Bangladesh. The only restraint that Bangladesh has is the cubic capacity (CC) limit, which only allows bikes below or equal to 165cc to reach Bangladesh. This culture has slowly made its way into Bangladesh and a similar community has grown up here. At every corner of India, you will see at least 10 motorcycles. India has one of the biggest motorcycle cultures and communities in the world.
