In 2013, the mini Duke was the first of the 125 on the market to be fitted with an ABS, and also disconnectable. Braking becomes safer with it, and in efficiency with the increase in the diameter of the front disc. From 280, it goes to 300 mm. A strong argument in the face of competition and an additional attraction for the population.
A KTM is orange, it’s fiery, it smells of sulfur, and for the road, it starts at 690cc. What about the young people? “Hey oh, ouech, Mr Katoche, she’s cool your Diouke. I love it seriously. And what do I do wam, I don’t have the motorcycle license?!? Zyva…. “
In Mattighofen, we have set up a work unit with several work axes. First, decipher the language of the young person and his rumblings. Then, to attack the 125 roadster market, where the brand has been absent since the discontinuation of the 125 Sting more than 10 years ago. Finally, provide a reasonable price in order to invade the markets. No miracle, no mystery: KTM has teamed up with big Indian producer Baja to produce their little toy, the 125 DUKE. The Austrian is responsible for development, the Indian for construction. This will allow the mini Duke to be offered at a democratic price, while maintaining the KTM spirit. Question design and fury for life, this 125 has combined the assets to succeed in its bet.
Specialist in mono and mills of character, Katoche has embedded in the frame a 4-stroke with 4 valves, double ACT, liquid cooling and injection. In France, it will of course be necessary to be satisfied with the 15 statutory horses. But he said to himself that this bloc could be more lively, much more lively outside our borders. From the top of its 127 kgs, the KTM will make the difference on its very attractive design and its crazy part-cycle. A 125 equipped like that is caviar. Inverted fork with radial brake caliper, aviation hoses, tubular chrome-molybdenum trellis frame, sport rims and tires (from Metzeler Sportec M3), pot under the saddle, ribbed swingarm in the format of the 690. Happiness! With in addition to good shoulders, an engine spoiler and a silhouette that wants it, we really have on hand a Duke 3 in scale model. And that should be so fun to drive.
Already not bad in its original version, the mini Duke also offers a whole set of accessories and stickers to make it a real little terror.
