Hardware on the KTM 250 Duke
KTM has equipped the 250 Duke with upside down front forks and an off-set rear monoshock. Braking duties are handled by disc brakes on both ends.
The bike uses a new two-piece frame and is equipped with wheels and brakes that reduce the overall weight of the bike. This has also resulted in a better power-to-weight ratio.
