KTM’S NO BULLSHIT CAMPAIGN ROARS TO LIFE WITH THE BRAND NEW 2024 SINGLE-CYLINDER KTM DUKE LINE-UP
Firstly. KTM charges into model year 2024 with a brace of all-new single-cylinder DUKE models, bringing more punching power. Improved handling, and clear differentiation of attitude between the displacements. In short, the all-new DUKE range cuts the bullshit, bringing more bike for your buck. Furthermore.
No Compromise
Secondly. KTM Duke 2024…Adopting an all-out, no-compromise attitude. The all-new 2024 models represent the biggest change to the sub-500 cc capacity DUKE model range since the KTM 125 DUKE in 2011. The result is a complete redesign, with new engines, an all-new chassis concept. And new styling which amplifies the typically aggressive KTM DUKE design language you’ve come to expect. Further.
Thirdly. For 2024, a new 2-piece frame design – composed of an all-new steel trellis main frame with a pressure die-cast aluminium subframe. Enhances dynamics by augmenting torsional rigidity. This also adds improved agility and enhanced feedback from the chassis. With new triple clamps and a revised offset, improving handling characteristics and giving riders greater control and stability. In addition.
Swingarm Contours
Fourth. The frame is now also mated to an all-new curved lightweight swingarm, which contours around a relocated rear shock absorber. This is mounted off-center to allow for a larger airbox design while reducing overall seat height. Speaking of which, the reduced seat height was purposefully engineered into the new DUKE design to allow for greater accessibility, without compromising on stability or handling. Additionally.
Delivering the knockout punch is an entirely new generation of lightweight, compact single-cylinder engines. Dubbed the LC4c, the engine range is made up of a smaller 125 cc and a 250 cc (for selected markets) engine and a larger 399 cc engine, as found in the KTM 390 DUKE. Building from the experience gained with the previous generation, these powerplants are completely redesigned, with newly optimized cylinder heads, and gearboxes, as well as meeting EURO 5.2 compatibility standards. Equally.
Benchmark
The 2024 KTM DUKE range also sets the benchmark for real-world technological advancement in the small displacement NAKED segment. All models in the line-up feature the latest version of selectable Supermoto ABS, 5” dashboards, and smartphone connectivity as standard – with the ability to fit an optional Quickshifter+. Moreover.
Bringing more DUKENESS to each division – apart from a new metal fuel tank and high-quality surface finishes – the 2024 DUKE stablemates have embraced their own identities with visual differences across the range. Furthermore.
KTM DUKE 2024 390
Visually, the KTM DUKE 2024 390 rightfully takes ownership as the leader of the pack with key differences from the rest of the single-cylinder DUKE line-up. Signature Electronic Orange and Atlantic Blue color options dominate the visual impact, with longer tank spoilers featuring prominent air intakes, larger radiator covers, and external LED positioning lights completing the package. Also.
Lightweight Single
Power is taken care of by an all-new lightweight 399 cc single-cylinder LC4c engine. Not only is it lighter and more powerful than the previous generation, but it also brings EURO 5+ compatibility and refreshed attitude to the KTM 390 DUKE. THE CORNER ROCKET is the perfect motorcycle for the European A2 license.
The 2024 KTM 390 DUKE also boasts a 43 mm WP APEX Open Cartridge front fork with 5-click adjustment on rebound and compression and a split piston rear shock absorber with adjustable rebound and preload. This means handling can be tailored to perfectly match the rider’s needs.

While it might sit at the entry level of the KTM Naked range, the KTM 125 DUKE dominates the small capacity engine segment. A powerful 125 cc engine, exceptional electronics, and WP APEX suspension lift the 2024 KTM 125 DUKE to new heights.
Visually, the KTM DUKE 2024 125 sets itself apart from the rest of the small DUKE range. With all-new Electronic Orange and Atlantic Blue colour options. Painted headlight surround housing an ultra-bright LED headlight, and compact tank spoilers. Additionally.
