KTM 250 Duke Atlantic Blue launch details

Up until 2020, KTM models weren't visible with any colour apart from white, black, grey, and of course, the signature orange. However, with the advent of the Gen 3 KTM Super Duke R, the Austrian marque has started adding a dash of blue to its bikes, which has trickled down to models like the 890 Duke R and the 2024 390 Duke. Even the 200 and 125 Duke models get a little helping of blue in certain colourways.

Now, it seems as though even the KTM 250 Duke will receive the Atlantic Blue colour, and it looks largely similar to the livery we’ve seen on the 390 Duke. The only difference on the 250 Duke is that the ‘Duke’ badging on the tank extensions is written in white (not orange as on the 390).

The KTM 250 Duke is currently priced at Rs 2.39 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), and we expect the Atlantic Blue to cost the same as KTM doesn’t usually upcharge for different colours on the same model. The existing Ceramic White and Electronic Orange colours will continue, which means the 250 Duke will now be offered in three colours.
