Duke 250 has been updated with dual-channel ABS unit, which can be switched on or off, as per convenience. Although, like Duke 390, there are no changeable ABS modes available.
Other than this, there are no further changes on the bike. KTM Duke 250 gets a 249cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder DOHC engine. The engine is paired with a 6-speed gearbox to produce 30 BHP at 9000 RPM and 24 Nm of peak torque at 7500 RPM.
The 250cc Duke is wedged between Duke 200 and 390. Hence, it borrows many parts and styling cues from both the bikes. The body work and Trellis frame is taken from the elder Duke, while the equipment and some parts are taken from the younger Duke.
