KTM has just given the recently launched 160 Duke a tech upgrade for 2026 with a brand-new variant that packs in a slick 5-inch colour TFT display with navigation and Bluetooth. The bike now not only looks sharp on the road but feels a lot more premium and connected to ride.
The KTM 160 Duke with TFT display is priced at ₹1,78,536, while the base variant continues at ₹1,70,545 (both ex-showroom, Delhi). That means riders now get a choice between a more affordable version and a fully loaded, tech-rich trim.
New 5-inch TFT display with connectivity
The new 5-inch colour TFT screen, derived from the Gen-3 KTM 390 Duke, comes with bonded glass and a fresh switch cube with 4-way menu controls. Riders can quickly access bike data, tweak settings, and use smartphone connectivity on the go. When paired via the KTM My Ride / KTM Connect app, the TFT lets riders:
- Use turn-by-turn navigation
- See incoming call info and accept or reject calls (no outgoing calls while riding, as a safety feature)
- Control music through a paired Bluetooth helmet headset, including track changes and volume, with song info displayed on the screen
Rider-focused features through the display
The TFT isn’t just about connectivity:
- Supermoto ABS mode can be toggled via the screen, disabling rear ABS for controlled slides and supermoto-style riding.
- Riders can customise shift RPM and limit RPM. Depending on the settings, the TFT switches between dark and orange themes, adding a bit of personality to the cockpit.
- Display layouts and shortcuts are configurable, so riders can choose what info they want to see most during their ride.
Still the same fun 160 Duke at heart
Loved by younger riders, the KTM 160 Duke is known for its strong power-to-weight ratio and lively performance that feels bigger than its displacement suggests. This new TFT variant simply takes that proven platform and adds more tech, interaction, and rider engagement on top.
As Manik Nangia, President – Probiking, puts it: this update makes the 160 Duke “even more intuitive and engaging to ride,” reinforcing KTM’s formula of sharp performance plus advanced rider tech in an accessible package.
