Top Highlights: New Instrument Cluster
The 200 Duke gets a new 5-inch TFT cluster which can be operated via a new switch cube. This new cluster comes with bluetooth connectivity via the KTM Connect app, and you also get on-board navigation, incoming call/SMS alerts, and music streaming.
Supermoto ABS
The 200 Duke comes with a Supermoto ABS mode, which basically allows you to disengage the ABS on the rear of the motorcycle. This allows riders to lock up the rear wheel and slide into corners, and it also disables cornering ABS to allow the rider to brake much harder.

Same Mechanicals
In terms of what's underneath, the 200 Duke remains unchanged, and that's not really a bad thing. It continues with the same 199.5cc liquid-cooled engine producing 24.6bhp at 10,000rpm and 19.3Nm of torque at 8000rpm, while paired to a 6-speed gearbox.
The trellis frame is suspended on 43mm USD WP Apex forks up front, and a 10-step adjustable WP monoshock at the rear. For braking, there is a 300mm disc with a radially-mounted calliper up front, and a 230mm disc with a floating calliper at the rear.
Same Design
Yes, the 200 Duke retains the same second-gen design that came out in 2020, and although it still looks quite great, buyers might want to see something that looks fresher and more relevant to today's times. However, the current 200 Duke does feature a full LED head light setup.
