KTM 160 Duke’s New Variant Introduced With 5-Inch TFT Display And Connected Tech

KTM announced a new variant of 160 Duke on 18 December 2025 and is now equipped with a modern 5-inch colour TFT display. This update makes the bike more high-tech and user-friendly. The new KTM 160 Duke with TFT display is priced at Rs 1,78,536, while the base variant continues to be available at Rs 1,70,545 (both ex-showroom, Delhi).

5-Inch Colour TFT Display

The biggest highlight of this update is the 5-inch colour TFT screen, which has been derived from the Gen-3 KTM 390 Duke. This is a premium digital screen that clearly shows all important riding information such as speed, gear position, fuel level and ride data. The glass in this, makes the display sharper and easier to read even in bright sunlight.

To control the screen, the brand has introduced

a new switch cube with 4-way menu switches on the handlebar. This allows riders to navigate through menus easily without taking their hands off the bars, which is an important safety and convenience feature.

Navigation and Bluetooth Connectivity

One of the most useful additions in this is turn-by-turn navigation, as by connecting your smartphone via Bluetooth and using the KTM My Ride app, riders can see navigation directions directly on the TFT screen. This is especially helpful in city riding, where checking your phone while riding can be highly risky.

The Bluetooth system also supports incoming call alerts and riders can see who is calling and choose to accept or reject the call using the handlebar switch. For safety reasons, outgoing calls and phonebook access are disabled while riding.

Music and Headset Pairing

With a compatible Bluetooth helmet headset, riders can control music playback according to them directly from the bike. You can change tracks, adjust volume and see track information on the TFT display, which makes daily commutes or long rides more enjoyable.

Advanced Riding Features

The KTM 160 Duke also offers Supermoto ABS mode, which allows riders to switch off rear-wheel ABS for specific riding needs such as controlled slides or track-style riding. Additionally, the display comes with dual colour themes, which changes between dark and orange based on customized shift RPM settings. The screen is customisable too which allows riders to choose what information they want to see and even set shortcuts for frequently used functions.

Speaking about the update, Manik Nangia, President of Probiking, said that the new TFT display makes the KTM 160 Duke more intuitive and engaging. He added that this upgrade reflects KTM’s focus on combining sharp performance with advanced technology in an accessible package.
