Austrian sports bike brand KTM on Monday launched its much-awaited 125 Duke ABS motorcycle at an introductory price of Rs 1,18,163 (ex-showroom Delhi). 

The premium sports bike will be available across 450 exclusive KTM showrooms in India. The company said in a statement that the bike also has 14.5 Ps power, strong-yet-light craftsmanship with a trellis frame and an aluminum swingarm, like other KTM bikes. 

KTM is the largest motorcycle brand in Europe, in which Bajaj Auto picked 49 per cent stake in 2008. Bajaj Auto rolled out KTM brands in 2012. 

“KTMs are always about high performance, edgy design and a thrilling ride. The 125 Duke will be the new stepping stone into the KTM brand for riders starting out in the world of racing,” Amit Nandi, President (Probiking), Bajaj Auto said.

The company recently launched the ABS and non ABS version of its 200 Duke. The ABS version of KTM 200 Duke, priced at Rs 1.60 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi), was launched last Friday.

The non-ABS variant of the KTM 200 Duke is available at a price of Rs 1.51 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).

"With the addition of ABS our customers will now have choice of both ABS and non-ABS versions across 450 exclusive KTM showrooms in India," Nandi said.
