2012 KTM 200 Duke

DUKE PLUS

2011 has been a special and extremely successful year for KTM – especially thanks to the launch of the 125 Duke. At 9,000 units sold, the new bike took off like a rocket into its highly competitive segment.

The logical next step for KTM is to expand the Duke range even further with a 200cc version in the upcoming model year. The successful recipe of a fully-fledged, great-looking motorbike also holds for the 200 Duke – and at a highly attractive price
point.

The main difference is a larger displacement, expanded to 199.5 cc by a new cylinder with a 72 mm bore and 49 mm stroke. Complementing these are a newly developed cylinder head and valves, as well as new intake and exhaust systems specially designed by KTM for the 200. These developments increase power to a strapping 19 KW (26 hp) besides giving it a beautifully rounded power curve, highlighting once more the sporting DNA of this state-of-the-art single cylinder design. While the 125 Duke offers an excellent performance for its class, the 200 Duke has the punch of a real motorbike, not the least due to its very low weight of
only 127 kg. The powerful new engine is backed by the well-known trellis frame, as well as outstanding suspension and braking components. This makes the 200 Duke essentially KTM – simply one of the best small sport bikes for any day of the week.

A Duke loves company. Less than a year after the introduction of the 125 Duke, KTM expands the segment with an equally attractive 200cc version rated at 19 kW (26 hp) of power. That makes the Duke 200 a hot item for all those who want the benefits
of 2011’s best-selling 125, combined with the performance of a dynamic little motorbike.

Its handling is as impressive as its serious looks – typical KTM. The only really small thing is its price. The success story continues!
