KTM Brings Big Performance to the 160cc Segment

KTM has rolled out the all-new 160 Duke in the Indian market, setting the stage for its arrival in South Asian markets, including Nepal. Priced at ₹1.85 lakh (ex-showroom India), it blends everyday usability with KTM’s trademark performance and streetfighter style.

Engine & Performance

Powering the 160 Duke is a 164.2cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine, delivering 18.7 BHP at 9,500 RPM and 15.5 Nm torque at 7,500 RPM.
A 6-speed gearbox with Assist & Slipper Clutch makes gear shifts smoother, reduces clutch effort, and adds control during quick downshifts — ideal for both city rides and weekend getaways.

Suspension highlights:

Braking Confidence with Dual ABS Modes

The braking system is designed for versatility:

• Front: 320mm disc

• Rear: 230mm disc

• Dual-channel ABS for stability in emergencies

• Off-road ABS for loose or gravel terrain

Aggressive KTM Styling

The 160 Duke mirrors KTM’s signature streetfighter design with sharp body lines, muscular stance, and a minimalist tail.
Notable features include:

• LED headlamp with DRLs

• Two-piece split seat

• Compact tail section for a sporty finish

Smart Features for Everyday Riding

The bike’s LCD instrument console supports:
