Engine Displacement: 249.07 cc
The 250 Duke utilizes the latest generation LC4c engine. This 249.07 cc single-cylinder unit moves to an SOHC (Single Overhead Camshaft) layout in this generation, which is lighter and more compact than the previous DOHC setup, while optimizing the engine for better mid-range punch and thermal efficiency.
Max Power: 31 PS @ 9,250 rpm
Producing 31 PS, the 250 Duke strikes a perfect balance between the 200’s agility and the 390’s raw power. The power delivery is linear, making it a "Goldilocks" choice for riders who find the 390 too intimidating but want more highway legs than the 200.
Max Torque: 25 Nm @ 7,250 rpm
With 25 Nm of torque peaking earlier than the 200cc model, the 250 Duke offers superior roll-on acceleration. This makes overtaking on Nepali highways much safer without needing to downshift constantly.
Top Speed: 148 km/h
The 250 Duke can comfortably reach a top speed of 148 km/h. It features a larger airbox and a revised underbelly exhaust that helps the engine breathe better at high velocities compared to the previous generation.
Mileage: 31 kmpl
The 250 Duke delivers a certified mileage of roughly 31 kmpl. Given its larger 15-litre fuel tank (up from the 200's 13.5L), it has a significantly longer touring range, making it a viable weekend tourer in Nepal.
