KTM Duke 250 (2017) : The Good and The Bad : PowerDrift
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ส.ค. 2024
- The 2017 KTM Duke 250 is the naked streetfighter that slots right in between its elder and the younger sibling. It gets a bigger, 13.5 litre fuel tank, USD forks and the slipper clutch like the Duke 390 but the brake system as on the Duke 200, which means it does miss out on the ABS. So, how does it fare as an everyday small little big bike? That's exactly what Atul shall find out today.

Hello #NotificationSquad, although this is a season for Mangoes, what do you think about this Orange?
PowerDrift that orange is sweet...
PowerDrift Black over orange any day
Mango, Mojo? :P
85% 390. Good enough for most of the riders out there. Only if it had come with atleast optional ABS. That would have completed the package.
PowerDrift love the orange
First :D
Who ever behind the cam and production... Take a bow brothers 🙇
Thank you so much for the kind words Arpan. Glad you enjoyed it! :D
not good bike KTM all
Yamaha FZ 250 is good
Praveenbahrian Praveenbahrian the FZ makes a much stronger case than the Duke 250 .

Congratulations Shahid! Wishing you many happy miles and remember to ride safely. :D
bro how is pillion comfort ???and braking is good ?????
Pls ride safe..its a request
When there is Atul Sir, you will definately expect cool timelapses. Tour of Bhutan was epic.
Thank you Saikat. Why not share it too?
Videography! One of the best! Love powerdrift!
An I only one who switch to 1080p while watching Powerdrift thriller!?😏 #pdarmy 😻💓
The perfect way to enjoy! ;)
I always watch it in 1080p😍
Quality is more important than resolution ... but yes after watching 1440p difference is noticeable but not huge ... but i love 1440p HDR 😍
The climax was superb ;). Already owning this beauty and completed the first service. Last week took the bike for a long ride, the bike was extremely silent while cruising in 6th gear and refined. Enjoyed a lot. The bike was the attraction point for so many riders while having my trip. One word to say means I am enjoying my Duke 250.
That night timelapse shot was amazing.. even amazing is an understatement. #PDArmy
LOVE FROM NEPAL #NOTIFICATIONSQUAD
Much love squad! Do remember to share the video ahead as well. :D
Saurab Siwakoti bro pani Nepal bata 😃
Yes!! A fellow PD army from Nepal ;)
Jay Nepal!
jay nepal!
.....it tends to stall quite bit when hot 1:56 ......I think I don't need to see further.
You guys keep getting better, like a fine wine! Drone shots were amazing! Awesome stuff!
Reviews like this one relate to people like us so much better... Keep up the good work!
THE BEST CAMERA WORK AND POST PRODUCTION. Beautiful work at beautiful locations on beautiful bike.
Lack of abs and sintered pads were indeed a deal breaker for me.
Keep going PD. Great team.
We want Sagar although Atul also did a fantastic job. Maybe the emotional human side cheering for Sir Sheldekar
Sagar's baking a mouthwatering dish for you guys, do stay tuned. :D
areeey shot next to my place ! Nashik phata road rocks 😁
Haha! :D
Indeed it does! A brilliant stretch of road there!
asedon123 yeah nashik phata I live near that in pimple saudagar
asedon123 i was there when they were taking the drone shots heheheheh
Atul Haldankar hello sir, it was good meeting you that day... i was waiting for this video from that day..
location,sound,dialogues of every video is amazing.u guys worked so hard that is inspiring.u guys make a bike review on whole another level.u guys make us proud.thank you guys.
Thank you so much for the kind words Anurag! It really means a lot to us! Cheers! :D
Completed 1600+ KMS on this beauty as being first Indian to get KTM Duke 250. Awesome Bike. PD You just nailed it
editing level over 9000 😂
Thanks comrade! That brings a smile to our editors' faces! :D
Thanks for letting him know
hey you know what!
not all your viewers are willing to buy a bike or come to know those details....well most of them are but those who keep coming back are motorheads. The mix of information entertainment combined with the level of video quality well if Im mentioning then video quality lets have a long convo then your camra guy he is 100%gold the editor knows well what he is doing pules your host well shargent is always the guy but his knights are worth watching each time.....well this can go on and on
All I wanted to say is
AMAZING PEOPLE YOU ALL ARE 100%GOLD
Thank you so much Rudraksh. Your compliment means a lot to us and motivates us to make even better motoring content and you know what, #PDArmy is 100% Platinum! :D
The recent videos are much more pleasing to watch, esp the drone bits. I never really liked the fast and flashy editing of the older videos. Beautiful video, great job !
Got this Orange! on 13th March. Have 3800 on the ODO... Using it for office commuting.. took it for couple of highway runs as well.. performs well in city road and highways. loving every moment with it. vll b participating in Mumbai orange ride today.
Atul! You just nailed it man! Fucking wonderful, I was used to Sagar giving unbelievable reviews, you are no less! Would love to see some more from you!
Gee that should motivate him for more alright ;)
Rushabh Kaddu - Heartfelt gratitude for those strong words! Believe me when I say they are highly motivating. I hope and pray I manage to live up to your benchmark always! Cheers #heartfelt
Atul Haldankar I am sure you will keep surprising me forever! Hope to meet you someday!
the visual really pleasing to my eyes..
Thanks comrade! Have you shared it ahead too? :D
take a bow..... cinematography is far better than ktm adverts ... big thumbs up for the unsung heroes (those who were behind the camera)
scenes are out of this world...
Hats off to the powerdrift video editing team. This is not just a review video but it's a art. Hell of a bike+Hell of a channel = masterpiece video
Thanks Shrey for such a sweet compliment! It really means a lot to us! :D
Anyone else find the background music fascinatingly similar to the Netflix original "stranger things" one ?
Yep its a take from stranger things!
Can u tell me name of the background song?
I guess Atul did the time lapse :)
Looks like someone's a fan of Atul! :D Why not share it ahead Sandeep? :)
I am booking a 250 Duke BS 6 on monday...wish me luck guys...biggest purchase of my life so far....
This video is certainly on a new level. Excellent time-lapse and drone shots. Amazingly cinematic.
Oh and did I mention the best custom soundtrack!
yaas..... PD your upload game is on point!!
Thanks comrade! Glad that you enjoyed this! :D
Did Anyone Miss Sagar :(
He's just in the kitchen baking something for you guys! Stay tuned. :D
No. He did not make me feel that. The video was just superb.
Ya bro
Wow. The last shot was awesome. Am I the only one who is missing the rawness and madness of older ktm siblings.
Haha! :P
Lovely review. Wasn't expecting such a detailed city and touring review.
And the videos are really getting better with breath taking drone shots.
Whoever is behind all these, really deserve a bow.
Thanks a lot for changing the way India sees the bike/car reviews.
Glad that you enjoyed the video comrade. It's our motto to showcase the Indian motoring in the way it deserves to be seen. Hope you have shared the video ahead! :D
Goodness these vids look amazing!
Thanks Subhom, and hope you share it ahead too. :)
where is Sagar 🤒🤒 I wanna see him 😅😅 #sagarian ❤️
He's working on bringing you some more motoring content! Stay tuned. :)
+PowerDrift is it?? Kawasaki z650??
#SAGAR...❤
Trust PowerDrift to make a review that is actually comprehensive, stylish and fun! Great job guys.
Everything about PowerDrift's videos is of legendary quality!
Thank you so much comrade! :D We're glad that you enjoyed the video!
suggestions and request : i think many people can't keep up with PD pace of voice over it would be good if u use those text on background kind of effects to highlight numbers and specs
We shall try about that comrade. :D
anyone waiting for rc250 ? ...
.
Ya man i have the same question....But i guess the price comes very close to duke 390 in India with our taxes and all so they are not launching it.
lol im waiting for rc790 :P
Ishaan Aggarwal there is a duke 790, not rc 790.
there is no rc 790 buddy theres is a duke
I love this new approach with the SythWave Music and the night time lapse... Great job!
Glad you enjoyed it Darryl! Hope you shared it ahead too! :D
Gawd.. The shot with the blinking traffic lights.. @powerdrift you guys rock man
flyover scenes at nashik phata right? 😁
Sharp eyes! ;)
hahaha yes bro! our pcmc got great road ;)
i find the 250 better than the 390... the headlights... and maybe if the instrument cluster was more smaller like in the mt07, it would look very good
I've got the White Variant and i did a long ride for about 400 KMS.To be honest it was an amazing ride and i was cruising between 90-100 kms/hr. I'm well satisfied with the bike and the braking system.
Nicely Done Atul and PD, as always. Refreshing to watch on a weekend.
Glad you enjoyed it comrade! :D
Can u tell the name of the roads u were riding at night time that roads r beautiful Flyovers and Many Cuts😊😊😊😊😊Which Route was that BTW nice video PD Army
In pune
Last Event was Quite Good
Haha! Thanks. :)
I can say it's one of the best review for KTM Duke 250. Appreciate your work!✌
With no visible competition for the Duke 250..as both fZ 25 and rtr 200 being under powered...this duke definitely has an edge in the market both for its aggressive looks and peak performance...but I think in touring perspective dominar is really a Stern competition for this 250... As usual it's a visual treat to watch your reviews..and your non conventional reviewing methods really steal the show...go PD...loved it
Nice time lapse
Thank you, and remember to share it ahead! :D
Got This Orange Beast Today... 😍😘
Congratulations on the bike comrade, and remember to ride safely always. :D
Very refreshing and informative review. Brilliant work PD. Hope to see Atul in more videos. Kudos to you all mate
Glad you enjoyed in comrade, and stay tuned for more! :D
The H.O.G video and this one!
The drone shots you end the video with look straight out of an adventure movie!
Gives me the chills!! 😍😍😍
Hats off to the guy responsible for that!!!!
What happened with the cops?
They saw me riding an unregistered vehicle and hence I was stopped. Had a friendly chat after we showed them the right paperwork and they too were intrigued by the Duke250
Don't new vehicles have a TR (Temporary Registration) number on a yellow sticker? I think that's mandatory until you get it registered with the RTO. Please use that next time.
Atul Haldankar Ha ha recently two guys in chennai driving ninja 300 and ktm were stopped by cops. They were wearing riding gears and by looking that cops thought they were racing, so stopped them and took the keys. Those riders were struggling for a couple of hours to explain. I thought you too were facing the same problem😀😀
Dhrubajyoti Gogoi you have a
nice one bro
Thanks comrade! Why not share it ahead as well? :D
Guys, you are getting better and better with each of your videos! Camera work and the narration is clean and top notch! Please do try to add bike maintenance section and explain to the viewers if possible.
10 minutes is not enough when a powerdrift video came out.
Haha! We feel you, Nandhu! We shall try to make longer videos!
whenever I see you I will be like - Chicken chacha chicken chichi chicken chuchu or haa mutton raara !!
Haha! Bolo tararara! :D
I don't get it
planning to buy one .;-)
Asif Khan check Yamaha fz25
Duke 250 has better Brakes, Retrofitted Adjustable levers and Slipper Clutch too....
yes absolutely.duke 2017 is damn beautiful design.just love it.
I have watched this video more than any other bike review till the date. Atul has beautifully mentioned all the critical points which a commuter and weekend enthu normally looks for. Looking for more such videos from you Atul.
Thanks for that Darshan. There shall be more coming, we hope you are notified.
the guy who reviewed is next best after Sagar. Good going team PD.
Love the video! I wud like to see a comparo vs the fz 25. I knw my bikes well, but wud want to ask for more opinion, im a tourer of sorts n own a gixxer sf. should I upgrade to the majo or wait for the fazer 250?
We shall try about that comparo. About the touring bikes, there's no updated yet about the launch of the Fazer 250, so you can wait, but if you are planning to buy the bike soon, you can go with the Mojo.
+PowerDrift what about the d400
PowerDrift I can wait :) My gixxy is only 15 months old now. thank u for ur response!
Padmanav mohanta I wouldn't compromise on build quality and saddle comfort. D400's more of a jack of all trades. + love the Bass on the exhaust note of the mojo :)
At 3:00 is that Aloma county road? (New dp road)
Eagle eyes Akshay! ;)
Those night shots, that camera work, background music and a perfectly beautiful orange!
You guys have mastered it mates. Whatever this video has shown, it's just dreamy! Can't think of anything else after this. Mark my words when I say this, YOU GUYS HAVE SET A BENCHMARK !
Had this video came a bit earlier, I would have stretched further and could have got a D250 home instead of my FZ250. But anyways, I am happy with her.
LOTS OF LOVE TO PD FAMILY & ONLY ONE REQUEST, NEVER GET BIASED GUYS, WE WANT TO SEE YOU AS THE ONLY CHANNEL IN INDIA FOR ANYTHING ON WHEELS.
-gD.
no one would leave without leaving a like ....best 250 duke video till date .....a movie experience...... video great work..
Haha! We hope you shared it too! :D And thank you so for the compliment!
PD crew busted by cops as well :P
Just a routine check Anand. :)
Kanoon andha hota hai bhai...
that comment made the day..kanoon aur pyar ek hi ho gye
Did anyone notice...the display shows the mileage of the bike to be 41.5 kmpl..😮😮😮(4:40)...
is that true power drift???
That's the real-time fuel consumption. We got a combined fuel economy of 30 kmpl.
Calm, composed and to the point review. A very different kind. Well pd always dives into a whole new genre... Atul just nailed it! Expectations are high from you now! 😁
Powedrift. U guys are nailing it with all ur latest videos.. Awesome camera angles.. Drone shots.. Dialogue delivery.. U guys should start making documentaries on motorcycles n motorcycle journeys.. Cheers to the team..
The thumbs up is in itself just for the cinematography.
It's raining short films here from Powerdrift. Keep up the good work.
Being an owner of this beast, everything you pointed out is 100% true
Keep up the good work guys👌
Harsha Neotrix - We have a confirmation! Yeehaw. Thanks Harsha!
Atul did it right away very good and in an informative way, never saw such an awesome and helpful review. Thanks guys.
you can recognise a ktm at one glance.........such a beautiful looking machine ...
Another masterpiece from the team who always gave a great visual treat
Thanks comrade! Why not share it ahead with your friends too! :)
Didn’t meet Sarge . Atul too is a fantastic reviewer.
And I am closing on you - The beeuutifil Duke250.
I'm a Motor Head and so is my 5 year old Son. We own a Duke 250. Well the bike is great : performance-wise. Although it has an array of great features here are my 2 cents that could make it better. Firstly, I recommend everyone who buys the Son of the Beast to change the Tyres. The MRF's (Stock Tyres) are Horrible (I could use some big-time French words here instead, but then you'll have to Pardon My French). Instead of going with the High-End-Soft-Sticky Tyres you can upgrade to Michelin Pilot Street Radial. It makes a hell of a difference ! Secondly, this Little Beast needs ABSsssss...... ! It can squirt out uncontrollable power, but with Great Power should come Great Responsibility (ABS) ! Cheers !
I've bought the Duke 250 2017 version.
I have retrofitted the tft display and the abs also....it's amazing and working up to date....u can get it retro fitted in Mumbai Central...👍
All the reviewers from powerdrift are just amazing
Quality content - check
Visual treat. - check
Music. - check
U guyz nail em everytime....gr8 going
#pdlove
Haha! Thanks Govind! Maybe share it ahead too! :D
Within 10 seconds this host impressed me!! way to go
The bike is alright, but the review is just top class .. wanna see more from Atul 👍🏼
Thank you so much Sunil! There's more motoring content coming up for you guys! :D
Superb drone shots! I guess PD is the only place where reviews are watched just for the sake of it over the bikes or cars which are being reviewed.
I am speechless right now the level of cinematography is just way beyond as if i was watching a movie loved the video you guys are mind blowing and loved the bike too
the old version no matter what ....cos of the firing of it...hands down on that bro
The Scenery, the background score, that was a beautiful video....
Atul Haldankar and timelapses! You sir are one dude!
Probably the most epic end scenes in a bike a review! XD
Thank you so much Abhishek. Have you seen the timelapses in the Motorcycle Diaries video? - th-cam.com/video/bGp8wLB84hA/w-d-xo.html
I had not. But now that I have, respect and admiration climbs a few steps higher!
Thank you for the travel goals!
And awesome cinematography!!
Abhishek Deokar - Thank you for all those kind words and love. The amount of passion you convey through your comments is the sort of redemption that fuels the fire to keep creating what we do. Please dont change, ever!
I've always admired your style of videography and production. Congrats, PowerDrift!
I thought this vid will not b as good as vid featuring sagar...bt I'm wrong, atul nailed it here😍🤘🤘
Varun Kakati - Thank you Varun! Your words are redemption itself!
Cheers to the PDArmy .. Power Drift covers each and every aspect a real biker could think of ..
Expecting some views from you on the New Ninja 300 ..
Great work Atul ..
Thanks so much Koushik.
We are waiting to get our hands on the media bike from Kawasaki so that we can tell you more about it! :D
Hope you get it soon .. we are waiting for it .. but anyways as far as I know the Ninja 300 doesn't have much mechanical changes but only the KRT paint job .. however would love to watch the extensive review by PDArmy
editing on point... hats off to post production guys
For me it is a sharp and best handling machine out there even now after4 to 5 years
Best Video of KTM review till now... Nailed it
