The KTM 160 Duke is a motorcycle from KTM. It is currently on sale. With a 164.2 cc engine it sits in the 150–250 cc class.
Power comes from a 164.2 cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that makes 18.73 bhp at 9,500 rpm and 15.5 Nm of torque at 7,500 rpm. Its bore is wider than its stroke (66 mm x 48 mm), a short-stroke layout that generally favours higher revs. Divide power by kerb weight and it has about 129 PS per tonne; by that measure, it is lively, with easy overtakes and relaxed highway speeds. It has electric start.
It has a 6-speed manual gearbox with a 1-down, 5-up shift pattern, and a chain carries drive to the rear wheel. Its slipper clutch lightens the lever and stops the rear wheel hopping when you downshift hard.
It is built around a split trellis frame. Suspension is by USD front fork at the front and monoshock suspension at the rear. Braking is by a 320 mm disc at the front and a 230 mm disc at the rear, with dual-channel ABS. ABS on both wheels keeps either tyre from locking under hard braking. It rides on 17-inch alloy wheels with tubeless tyres — 110/70 - 17 at the front and 140/60 - R17 at the rear.
The seat is 815 mm off the ground, which is about average and suits most riders. It weighs 147 kg ready to ride. Ground clearance is 174 mm — enough for most speed breakers. The wheelbase is 1,357 mm. It carries 10.1 L of fuel.
Equipment includes 5 " LCD Display, an LED headlamp, call and SMS alerts, distance-to-empty readout, gear position indicator, real-time mileage indicator, service due indicator, ride-by-wire throttle, engine temperature indicator and low fuel indicator, among others. Safety equipment includes engine kill switch, side-stand engine cut-off, side-stand warning and malfunction indicator.

As published for this model; whichever comes first. Check your owner’s manual for the exact schedule.
Follow the schedule in the owner's manual for your exact variant and year. A regular service is the cheapest way to catch small problems before they become expensive ones.
Engine oil is the single most important consumable to keep fresh. Top up between services if the level drops, and change it on schedule.
With Disc, 320 mm, 2 piston caliper and Disc, 230 mm, 2 piston caliper brakes, check pad or shoe wear, lever and pedal free play, and braking feel at every service.
A clean, correctly tensioned and lubricated chain lasts longer and wastes less power. Check slack regularly, especially after riding in rain or dust.
A liquid-cooled engine relies on coolant. Check the level and look over hoses and the radiator for leaks or damage, and replace coolant as the owner's manual directs.
A clogged air filter or worn spark plug shows up as hard starting, weak throttle response and poorer fuel economy. Both are checked at a regular service and replaced when worn.
Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point. Have its level and condition checked and change it on the interval in the owner's manual.
This bike runs 110/70 - 17 / 140/60 - R17 tyres. Check pressure, tread depth and sidewalls, and replace tyres that are worn or cracked.
The battery is listed as 12 V 8 AH Maintenance free. Weak starting, dim lights or a flickering console are early signs the battery or charging system needs a look.
