A Google search of “KTM Singapore” will throw up the KTM Singapore’s official website as the first hit. A casual glance revealed the prices of all available KTM models in Singapore Dollars.

Here are the website-listed prices of the KTM Duke 200 and its sibling Duke 390.

  • Duke 200 – 10,600 SGD
  • Duke 390 – 11,900 SGD

These prices are on-road prices, they include ARF (Additional Registration Fee) as well as GST (Goods and Services Tax), which is a part of the tiered-tax structure of Singapore.

A quick conversion search showed us 1 Singapore dollar = 44.0573 Indian rupees. Going by the assumed rates, here are the converted prices of both the oddballs.

  • KTM Duke 200 :- 10600 Singapore dollars ~ 4,67,007 INR
  • KTM Duke 390 :- 11900 Singapore dollars ~5,24,105 INR

Surprised, aren’t you?

The next question you might want to ask is, “Do these prices have any resemblance with what we will get in India?”  Our answer is – NO!

Further, considering that Duke 200 sells for approximately 1.5 Laks on road in India which is 3 times lesser than Singapore’s price, Duke 390 might come at just 1.7 Lakhs!!! Even that is not gonna happen!

There is a lot which goes into deciding the prices of a particular bike for a particular country like the production source, country’s tax policies, competition, intended placement, expected sales etc. It is not a mere conversion from one currency to another.

Though the prices are still not out and neither is the bike, we expect it to cost somewhere close to 2.4-2.5 Lakh in India. And if you are still engaged in crossing off the dates on that calendar, let us inform you that the official launch is going to happen in a matter of a few weeks from now.

Even at the expected prices we have quoted, the goodies which it offers are amazing. You get a liquid-cooled fuel injected mill that churns out 44 ponies, and sits nestled in a brawny looking, exposed frame that has so become the signature of KTM. Unlimited eyeballs are guaranteed by the use of the trademark KTM Tongue-in-Cheek styling, and its end can does sing in a notable way too!
