KTM 250 Duke vs Yamaha WR-155Rin Nepal — price & specs compared

Ex-showroom, KathmanduPrices verified 16 Aug 2026Comparing Duke 250 vs WR-155R variants
The short answer

WR-155R has 70 mm more ground clearance. 250 Duke has 14.3 PS more power.

Choose the KTM 250 Duke if
250 Duke has 14.3 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 7.14 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.

Pros
Powerful 249.07 cc engine for the class (KTM Nepal).
6-speed gearbox with quickshifter+ in official India brochure (India-spec, KTM India brochure).
Dual-channel ABS and WP APEX hardware add safety and control (India-spec, KTM India brochure; OnlineKhabar).
Strong 31 PS / 25 Nm output for the segment.
Light, performance-oriented naked-bike character.
Premium KTM branding and sharp design.
Recent Nepal price reduction improves appeal.
Cons
No official Nepal-market spec sheet with full dimensions found.
Underseat storage is effectively negligible for a naked bike (inference).
Mileage and fuel-economy figures were not officially disclosed in Nepal sources.
No practical luggage or underseat storage.
Comfort and touring focus are secondary to performance.
Safety kit details are not clearly disclosed in the Nepal official result.
Likely expensive versus more basic 250cc rivals.
