2023 KTM Duke 200
The new Duke 200 and its larger sibling, the Duke 390, seem quite similar. The headlamp is the only component of the bike that has received modifications from the manufacturer; all other features and specifications remain untouched. The newly created headlight unit has a striking resemblance to the Duke 390. The motorcycle's appearance is improved and it provides better illumination for night journeys with the inclusion of an LED headlamp.
The Duke 200 retains its familiar setup, including features like an LCD digital instrument cluster, WP APEX USD front forks, a WP rear mono-shock absorber, front and rear disc brakes with dual-channel ABS support, and various other features. We anticipate that additional features found in the Duke 390, such as the colored TFT instrument cluster and other enhancements, will be incorporated into the Duke 200 in the near future. Furthermore, there is a possibility that the LED headlamp will also be introduced to the smaller Duke 125.
