KTM is all set to drop its middle-weight Duke 790 on Indian shores this year. The design of this bike is done keeping localization in mind. Though 790 Duke will come as CKDinitially. In the future, most of the parts can be manufactured here to reduce costs further. Expect the price of this mean machine to be Rs 7 Lakh ex-showroom.
Here we present you a video in which a rider rides KTM Duke 790 all the up to the summit of Pikes mountain. The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb (PPIHC), also known as The Race to the Clouds, is an annual car and bike hillclimb to the summit of Pikes Peak in Colorado, USA.
