Rider Profile

Best ForA great fit for new to early-intermediate riders thanks to its light weight, low seat height, and manageable power delivery.
PurposeBuilt primarily as a nimble city and commuter bike that also rewards playful, twisty-road riding.
Rider FitIts low 800mm seat height and light 129.5kg dry weight make it very approachable for shorter or less physically strong riders.
CharacterA fun, flickable single-cylinder streetfighter with sharp handling and enough torque for spirited urban riding.
Not Ideal ForNot suited to riders wanting sustained high-speed highway touring, long-distance comfort, or genuine off-road capability.

2012 KTM 200 Duke Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 810mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2012 KTM 200 Duke, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
