I go with Duke for sporty yet comfortable for rider, segment best pillion comfort, initial pickup better than before, best for touring because of 15L fuel tank.
Duke might be underpowered but the quality and refinement levels are much higher than RTR.. The reverse inclined engine on the RTR is vibey in all its iterations, although the spec sheet is more than Duke..
Im a duke 250 owner and its more refined than rtr 310..please note that its rough only when new upto 1000kms after the rpm unlock its butter smooth..also its needs xp95 petrol only[given in manual]
TVS BAJAJ And RE should work on their service centers and dealership. The machines they are making is top notch but the real issue is lack of experienced workers in the service centers that can work on these expensive and new age motorcycles.
I Rode brand new rtr 310 in Thailand at media launch. It's more refined than rr310 and more refined than duke 390. Duke 250 with this New design is slightly rough. Older duke 250 was very refined but not this one.
I have test ridden both in the last 3 months for my cousin, and I found the Duke being more refined in the midrange 3rd gear 40-60, while rtr was not so much smooth, maybe the test unit was faulty but tractability on the Duke was also ok 1st gear at 9 doesn't lug or do Engine knocking.
With similar price, rtr has upper hand on every aspects. Unless If someone is not into ktm brand, rtr makes much more sense to buy. Also not so sure but D250 has single over head cam I believe
When I first saw the new Gen dukes.. I absolutely loved their shape ans silhouette. I really wanted KTM to provide a better colour combo that does justice to this bike. And man did they deliver. Looks much better than the apache in my opinion.
Test rides changes everything. I wanted to buy Classic 350, test rode it to realise it was no different from my Avenger 😂. Riding duke gave me a sense of excitement. Nothing can beat that. No doubt RTR 310 is a good bike, but Duke is amazing.
this is not a fair comparison, adding all those features you mentored on the 310 would raise it's price way closer to the 390 where it obviously will lose
I bought rtr 310 service of honda and Yamah are also bad the service depends on your nearby service centre i have both honda and tvs if i order any parts from honda it take 2 months or more for tvs it is 1 week or 10 days @@harshsoni6255
I own 2004v. It's been 3 years. At anytime you can rely upon TVS. I DONT KNOW why people want only power when TVS is giving your everything what indian consumer wants from a bike. Go with TVS.
@@harshsoni6255 as tvs owner for 3 years now Apache Rtr 200 4V user clocked 35k Bike is good but Service is crap, Quality of parts is not upto the Level! TVS has no resale after some years! Choice is yours!
At this point rtr 310 feels the better deal anyday, duke heats a lot in rough terrain conditions and in traffic and in muddy conditions it splashes the mud right in your leg and shoes.. Power is good enough and breaking is better but lacks the quick shifter..
It was totally a one sided review! RTR was pushed! No good points about duke was highlighted! Bi directional quickshifter… ride by wire… best in segment pillion seat.. nothing were shocased! Very biased comparison!
Now the duke 250 comes with a discounted price of Rs 225000 ex show room which makes it a lot more affordable and attractive choice compared to rtr 310 Rs 272000 ex showroom.
Anyone buying rtr should wait few months as it should be getting an update with less buzz and maybe some elements like transparent engine cover like in rr 310
The value of a product should be talked only when post sales service is atleast good in my opinion because you get more value when you spend less amount of money on your bike for service as you stay long with your machine.
DUKE - 250 is cleaner than 390. RTR-310 needs to up the power and design elements... RTR needs a generation upgrade to match DUKE in the present state of aesthetics...
Ktm forever international brand so better graphics better engine in the long run better paint scheme (especially black) amazing quality Am i wrong or right?
Hey everyone who's been talking about vibrations in rtr,please tell me that when does the vibrations become prominent?? After which speed?? I usually ride at 70-80kmph, dont exeed that often, do u recommend me to buy rtr??
Take a test ride. Many comments are based on inputs from reviews or the 1st iteration batches (IMO it was never that bad as many claimed. Don't understand people expecting butter smooth high power & high compression single). Anyhow TVS has made few changes and at 70-80 you won't feel vibration.
I go for rtr 310 for specially head light more power adjustable leaver more mileage cruise control bulki look flaser tale light etc non chapri tag bike
Dino bhai why would you showcase all the features from top variant and justify the price of apache rtr 310 with the base variant? Really? Does it justify the price tag? Our hard earned money!! Literally, 6 variants and the top one costs close to the Duke 390! I wish you should've pointed this price difference.
Duke looks very nice❤❤❤. But rtr looks like, monster smashed the head with two hands to make small head and kicked the seat from backside to shorten seat and blowed the cylinder until it becomes hallow. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 😂😂
This duke color looks 🔥
Btw, I'm an RTR fanboy😊
I too was.. but gave up due to the pathetic after sales of TVS

Duke is clean. No questions asked. RTR is a good machine aswell, no hate for it. But Duke is just a pure value proposition!
I go with Duke for sporty yet comfortable for rider, segment best pillion comfort, initial pickup better than before, best for touring because of 15L fuel tank.
Has it got good pillion comfort? Rear seat looks pretty small
@@dview3176 I had sat it once, it's really good, but if you add pillion backrest it will be even more comfortable
"Refinement is better on RTR 310 compared to that on Duke 250"
This really came as a surprise as RTR 310 is said to have an awful lot of vibrations.
Thats true, I took a test ride and for a moment thought there is some malfunction in the engine
I was thinking about this both in between, finally u provided this, thankß
This new colour on 250 Duke really looks fantastic. Hope KTM will give it in every model.
Perfect comparision.... 👌🏻
Duke might be underpowered but the quality and refinement levels are much higher than RTR.. The reverse inclined engine on the RTR is vibey in all its iterations, although the spec sheet is more than Duke..
But dino was saying rtr is smoother 😂.
Also the terrible service of TVS
'KTM' and 'refinement' are two words which don't mix together.
AT ALL!
Have you riden rtr 310? May be your test drive unit is vibey, I own one it's not that much vibey, just single cylinder vibration that Duke has too
I got the latest version of rtr the august made engine .it is smoother than 250 and 390
Really I was searching for this 😂❤
Looking like a Superhero in that getup, Dino boss! Thanks for the video!

In banglore Duke 250 is 3.18 on Road - RTR is priced at 3.45 with quickshifter 2.65 and bruh did you say rtr engine is refined without vibration
😂 yeah after repeated care camps it has decreased
Amazing video. Rtr❤

ktm service is good
Dino bhai, RTR310 is refined? When i test drove it from two different showrooms it was viby as hell. Seat and handbar was vibrating a lot
i like the way you miss your dad, love your content dude
I sold my old duke 200 , and now i am going to get duke 250 black new
congo
You told that rtr is more refined and smoother, but majority of reviewers told that rtr has a lot of vibrations
That was resolved months back. New batches are not so viby. Old ones are also resolved via camps. Check the new Autocar review.
Duke 250 (LC4C) isn't refined at all. I felt vibrations on the handlebar at only 50 km/h!
Even the N250 was more refined than that!
I Rode brand new rtr 310 in Thailand at media launch. It's more refined than rr310 and more refined than duke 390. Duke 250 with this New design is slightly rough. Older duke 250 was very refined but not this one.
@@DinosVault ok thanks

Plz make a comparison video on Honda CB 300R nd Duke 250 gen3
Also want to know more details about CB300R its spare parts nd service in Bigwing
Yes bro many telling that its maintanence cost is even higher than duke 390 😢

I guess Duke 250 is 30k/35k cheaper than RTR 310s quick shifter model

THIS IS A COMPARISON OR PROMOTION... Guys Not pick rtr bcz a lot of vibrations in this Bike rtr 310 low speeds and high-speeds
Looks like might need a re- review for RTR 310 just to see if things got improved, Since you say that the vibrations are less than the duke 250.
At this point rtr 310 feels the better deal anyday, duke heats a lot in rough terrain conditions and in traffic and in muddy conditions it splashes the mud right in your leg and shoes..

RR is powerful than KTM and top speed. But lacks refinement. Maintanance cost is also same parts are costly
Never got to test ride the RTR, but I don't believe that it would be less refined than a KTM!

Duke smokes the Apache any day in the value proposition
Even the cubic capacity range is closer between these two. Comparing rtr with the 390 based on the cubic capacity would be criminal.
What about pillion comfort???
Duke is better than RTR
Wait hero aa raha hai l❤
Paid review? Didn't expect from you
That cooling & heating sest is a gimmick LoL.. 99.9% people who bought RTR won't visit the said cold places..
Loved your work❤❤❤ average kitna dete h got me 😂😂😂😂

He is not fair for this comparison! Biased for TVS! Duke 250 is much better than 310! Duke 250 is smooth and powerful than RTR with no doubt!
Please fix audio right-left balance
Still I go for duke 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Can we install traction control in speed 400& duke 250…?
Hey, You forgot to say about service and spare parts. In which KTM is way ahead than all other brands and TVS is the worst of all .
Wao, shocking review. You didn't consider the various variants of RTR that go as high as close to the 390 with all the bells and whistles?
Rtr♥️
new sub🎉
Why tvs not launching RTR with more colours?? Why cant they provide glossy colors rather than matte color????
people usually compare features of top model rtr310 to duke 250. Here price difference is greater than 35k.
2024 duke 250 didnt have drl righr? Its new 2025 update?
DUKE - 250 is cleaner than 390.

Vibrations are there on TVS.. the main concern!!
RTR Rock ❤️❤️❤️
Can't deny DUKE 😊😊
Apache ❤
Duke very aggressive look
If u give most if not all props to the RTR's specs and feel might as well have compared it to the 390 in the 1st place 😕

RTR310 WORTH FOR THAT SEGMENT🎉
wondering why all of sudden most of the youtuber start making RTR310 vs Duke 250
Because of princing
Difference between these two bikes is only 5-10k only
Thats why most TH-camrs are making on these bikes
But myene dono bike ki test ride liya hay mujhe to duke ka ride quality accha laga or rtr mye vibration bohot laga
Both these bikes dont have a link type rear mono shock which is a must have for ultimate handling.,☹️😧
Always ktm 😍😍
ok RTR is the winner but i will go with duke
Ktm killer looks😊😊
