KTM, the famous Austrian bike maker, along with Bajaj recently launched their street bike, Duke 200, in India. Indian KTM representatives felt that there is demand for the bike in some of the tier II and tier III cities and are planning to establish the dealership in such cities very soon.
Young bike enthusiasts expect a complete biking experience from the company. Apart from the machines, KTM is also famous for its wide range of merchandise and apparels in countries where KTM bikes are already sold. In order to expand the business and generate brand awareness in India, Bajaj Auto Limited, the country’s second-largest two-wheeler maker, is all set to power its newly-launched Duke 200 – a naked style street fighter motorcycle from its Austrian partner KTM’s stable – with the launch of KTM's Power Parts and Power Wear accessories and merchandise .
The Duke 200 has a range of accessories, right from the likes of the visual mods like stickers and headlight masks to the more serious stuff like petal disc brakes and the Akrapovic free flow exhaust but in India KTM dealers only have visual mods rather than the performance oriented stuffs .
Regarding the price of the KTM Duke 200 powerparts ,the visual mods like sticker sets will cost you around INR 1,000 , that according to us is on a higher side . If the visual mods are priced so high , then imagine the cost of performance oriented parts like Akrapovic exhaust and petal disc brakes .
We must say KTM have found a great way to advertise their brand .
What better way to get free advertisement than selling company branded merchandise. The merchandise should be available in your nearest KTM Store .
The 200 cc plus premium motorcycle market has been heating in the country with several global makers aiming the space with new launches , all the machines are good performers but the key to tighten your grip in the Indian Market is the competitive pricing of the bikes .
The battle is on and its going to get fierce as 250cc segment is going to heat up further with the release of Hyosung GT250R in the month of May .
