- KTM will replace the 125 cc motorcycles with new 160 cc motorcycles that are expected to launch soon.
KTM India has discontinued the 125 Duke and the RC 125 in the Indian market. The brand has delisted both motorcycles from its official Indian website. The reason behind discontinuing both motorcycles is the poor sales. There are rumours that the 125 Duke and RC 125 will be replaced by the 160 Duke and RC 160.
KTM launched the Duke 125 in India in 2018, followed by the RC 125 a few years later. It does make sense that the brand is considering replacing the 125 cc motorcycles with the 160 cc ones because in the past recent years, the 160 cc segment has become very popular.
With the 2025 update, KTM added cruise control and a new colour to the 390 Duke. The new colour is called Ebony Black and because the cruise control can be controlled via the new switchgear that is positioned on the left side switchgear.
KTM India has not made any modifications to the engine of the 390 Duke. The motorcycle will maintain its 399 cc, single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine, which is calibrated to deliver a maximum power output of 44.25 bhp and a peak torque of 39 Nm. Previously, the engine had a displacement of 373 cc, which was increased to 399 cc with the introduction of the new-generation Duke. Additionally, it features a 6-speed transmission equipped with a bi-directional quickshifter.
