Hidden in plain sight amidst the fanfare of the just launched KTM Duke 250 and Duke 390 models, the 2018 KTM 250 EXC TPI enduro bike is now on sale in Malaysia for RM45,050, including GST.
Power comes from a 249 cc single-cylinder two-stroke fuel-injected engine – a series production first – which made its global debut in March. KTM claims its Transfer Port Injection (TPI) technology drastically reduces fuel consumption, while doing away with the need to pre-mix fuel with two-stroke oil as well as carburettor jetting adjustment. The transmission is a six-speed gearbox with hydraulic wet clutch. Fuel capacity is nine litres, while wet weight is 103.5 kg without fuel.
Chassis-wise, the 250 EXC TPI sports a chrome-molybdenum steel frame with a WP Xplor 48 upside-down fork with preload adjustment in front, and a WP Xplor PDS rear shock. Ground clearance is 370 mm with a 960 mm seat height, while steering head angle is 63.5 degrees and wheelbase is 1,482 mm.
Brembo disc brakes front and rear measure 260 mm and 220 mm respectively, while suspension travel is 300 mm and 310 mm front and rear, respectively. The variant you see here is the Six Days edition to commemorate the International Six Days Enduro in Brive-la-Gaillarde, France.

Wowww RM45K? With that price can buy 2 Duke 250, plus upgrade akrapovic exhaust. Lolz.
Please don’t compare quality competition bike against mass market daily runabout bikes le…
Hint: 104kg for a 250cc
So expensive la. All because our Ringgit got no value anymore. I hope our Ringgit gets better
No problem. Went from 4.5 to 4.2 and predicted to go 4.0 by end year. When oil rebounds, estimated to go below 3.
“technology drastically reduces fuel consumption” supposedly paying less for fuel and end up paying a lot more on monthly!!! Either u r super rich or crazy to buy this ridiculous expensive 250cc bike!
Gotta love the look of that fat expansion chamber (it is a 2 stroke engine after all) and I expect that tinkly 2 stroke sound when the engine gets revved but the price is outta this world RM45k?
Nowadays bike like car price, next car like house price and even further future house like aeroplane price.
For those who owner KTM – they are called adventurer rider
For those who own 6 days – they are special and know what the best of 6 day can give to them – its a special bike with all blings and power parts original from factory – go buy demak if you want cheap…
