The Rs 13,000 price increase for this updated Duke appears reasonable when all of this is considered, and Rs 3.11 lakh is a decent sum to pay. However, it is more expensive than the recently released TVS Apache RTR 310 (Rs 2.43 to Rs 2.64 lakh), which, although it can’t quite match the KTM’s performance levels, does provide some unique features.
