The KTM Duke 200, launched in 2012 in India, was a game-changer in the entry-level performance motorcycle segment with its aggressive naked streetfighter design. Its minimalist bodywork, exposed trellis frame, and sharp lines highlighted its lightweight performance and agility. It was created in Austria by KTM and jointly developed with Bajaj Auto. As part of a global collaboration, it was produced at Bajaj's Chakan plant near Pune. A 199.5 cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected engine coupled with a 6-speed transmission gave the bike a powerful performance that made it perfect for sporty and urban riding. A high-tensile steel trellis frame, aluminium alloy wheels, and plastic (ABS) body panels for weight reduction were among the materials utilised. WP's upside-down front forks and a monoshock rear suspension system were used, while disc brakes with optional ABS provided safety. All things considered, the KTM Duke 200 (2012) established a new standard for reasonably priced performance biking by fusing sturdy Indian production with sleek European design.
