One of KTM's most popular series is "Duke." Out of all the bikes in the Duke series, KTM Duke has been brought to Bangladesh taking the behavior, needs, and passion of Bangladeshi riders into account, through which "The Duke Attitude" will gain steam in the country. Its liquid-cooled, fuel-injected engine will ensure good mileage, speed, and quick response. Duke's 14.5 HP powered engine is known as a powerful racing engine. An updated ABS braking system ensures the safety of the biker. Next to the ABS, it has a special "anti-wheel lock" sensor that will prevent you from skidding while stopping in panic braking.

With a top-class ABS braking system, the biker will feel comfortable and confident of accelerating the speed and control situations like panic braking very easily. The 43mm upside-down fork will deliver the best adjustable capacity. KTM RC has S rated tires, which will give maximum grip and confidence even at high speed. Its liquid-cooled fuel-injected engine delivers 14.5 HP of power and 12 NM of torque, which provides the bike with an aggressive racing experience and durability.

It is mentionable that KTM has been one of the dominant names in the motorcycle sports industry for many decades. Engineer Johann Hans Trunkenpolz had set up his small venture of selling 'DKW' motorcycles and 'Opel' cars at Mattighofen, Austria. With the R100, R125, and Trophy 125 models, KTM had started to gain the attention of the adrenaline bikers by the early '60s. In the later years, with spinning throttles and raging exhausts, KTM gradually made its way to the top in the off-road motorcycle industry by the '80s. And KTM motorcycles were bagging titles consecutively with an inborn fierceness. The stubborn gene running inside every KTM dirtbike has enabled KTM to hold the record of being dominant in all major forms of off-road motorcycle racing – the Enduro World Championship, Motocross World Championship, US race series, and the Dakar Rally – till the day. Also in recent years their dominance in MotoGP establishes their sucess in almost every major competitive racing platforms.

After establishing their supremacy in different countries of the world, Europe's biggest motorcycle brand has embarked on a journey in Bangladesh to offer the bike enthusiasts the same kind of precision and thrill they are committed to delivering.
