KTM 250 Duke costs रु 19,000 less ex-showroom. XR190LS has 70 mm more ground clearance. 250 Duke has 15.2 PS more power.
Strong performance and features for the price in Nepal, given the 249 cc class and premium chassis (OnlineKhabar). Price has been reported above Rs 7 lakh, positioning it as a premium naked bike (OnlineKhabar). At Rs 7.80 lakh, it makes sense for riders who want a sharp, premium 250cc street bike and can live with limited practicality. It is less convincing for buyers prioritizing comfort, storage, or the lowest ownership cost.
